Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 – 2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 cups pecan halves
Step by step
Line the pan from your KitchenAid® Countertop Oven with parchment paper. Add pecans to the pan and toast for 4 – 5 minutes until the nuts are golden brown.
Transfer the nuts to the KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series Blender. Attach the tamper to the lid and secure the lid to the Blender.
Set the Blender to Speed 1 and allow the nuts to grind together until they form a thick paste. Use the tamper to scrape down the sides as needed.
Once the nuts have started to release their oils and texture begins to smooth out, you can turn the Blender up to a speed of 3 or 4. Gradually increase the speed to around 5 or 6 until the nuts are completely blended and have the consistency of a nut butter.
Add in the cinnamon and maple syrup to the jar of the Blender and set to a speed of 1 for just a few seconds until everything is incorporated.
Store in an airtight container.
