Ingredients
- ½ cup pecans
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup Coconut Oil, melted
- ½ cup Coconut Cream Concentrate or homemade coconut butter
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Directions
- Melt a tablespoon of coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add your pecans to the pan & toss around to coat in the oil. Be sure to keep them moving to help roast the pecans without burning them.
- When your pecans begin to become fragrant and browned, add the honey and maple syrup. Mix well.
- Once your sugar begins to thicken just a little, add the coconut oil and coconut cream concentrate. Keep mixing with a rubber spatula to make sure the coconut cream concentrate doesn’t burn.
- Add the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- When everything is well combined, turn burner on low and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes to thicken a bit. (It won’t get super thick, so don’t expect that)
- Line a 8×8 glass baking dish with parchment paper, pressing the paper down into the sides of the dish.
- Pour the mixture into the parchment-lined baking dish and use a spoon to spread out the pecans throughout the mixture.
- Place in the freezer and let freeze for an hour or more. When you pull it from the freezer, it should be completely hardened but still have a chewyness to it.
- Use a knife to break it into pieces.
- Store in the freezer until serving! Enjoy!!
