You will need a high-speed blender (like a Blendtec) to process the pecans, and a spatula to scrape the nuts towards the center.

Can I customize the flavor of this vegan pecan butter?

Yes, the recipe includes optional flavor boosters like agave (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil (or other oils), and a pinch of salt to enhance the taste.

What's the best way to achieve a smooth, creamy texture?

Start on low speed, then increase to high, patiently scraping the nuts to the center repeatedly until a rich, creamy spread forms.

How to Prepare Creamy Pecan Butter [Vegan]

Place nuts and optional flavor boosters on low speed (speed 1 on Blendtec) for one cycle, or until it sounds like it is done. Mine took about 25 seconds.
Remove the lid, with a spatula, scrape the nuts towards the center of the jar and speed up to level 5 on a Blendtec or high.
A butter should begin to form, scrape to the center. Continue, with patience and love, repeating until a rich creamy spread or desired consistency is reached. Enjoy!

Notes

Use Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts, Brazil Nuts, Mixed Nuts or the nut of your hearts desire. I tried a couple different settings such as Ice Crush and Pulse to mix it up, play around and see what works best for you and your blender or food processor.
