This easy pecan pie butter is what cozy fall mornings are made of! With just three wholesome ingredients: pecans, date syrup, and cinnamon, you can whip up a creamy, naturally sweet spread that tastes like pecan pie in a jar. Perfect for spooning onto toast, drizzling over oatmeal, or enjoying straight from the spoon.
3 Simple Ingredients
- Pecans – rich, buttery, and packed with healthy fats.
- Date syrup – a natural sweetener that adds caramel-like flavor and smooth texture.
- Cinnamon – warm and fragrant, rounding out that classic pecan pie taste.
- Optional pinch of sea salt – to balance and deepen the flavor.
How to Make It
- Toast the pecans (optional): Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread pecans on a baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes, until fragrant and golden. This step enhances flavor, but you can keep them raw for a lighter taste.
- Blend until smooth: Place pecans in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend, scraping down the sides as needed, until they transform into creamy pecan butter (5–8 minutes).
- Sweeten & spice: Add the date syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt if desired. Blend again until smooth and well combined.
- Store & enjoy: Transfer to a jar and refrigerate. The butter may firm up in the fridge, so let it sit at room temp before spreading.

Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
I LOVE pecan butter, and I totally like giving homemade food gifts. I am terrible at anything crafty, but I love making goodies and giving those away. 🙂
My favorite nut butters would probably be cashew and pecan butter, and then I love peanut butter of course, but it’s not technically a nut butter. 😀
This looks SO yummy! I was looking for a healthy dessert recipe for Christmas and this completely fits the bill. Thanks so much!
I love pecans so will be giving these a go. Great pictures btw.
