Toasted Butter Pecan Honey Butter
developed & tested by:
This toasted butter pecan butter is the ultimate cozy, nutty spread for everything from toast & pancakes to biscuits & oatmeal! It's sweetened with just a touch of honey & whipped to creamy, dreamy perfection.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pecans, chopped
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Spread the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until they start to turn golden, after about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it’s fluffy. Add the toasted pecans, honey, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is well-combined.
- To store, spread the mixed butter in an airtight container. Store in the fridge.
Notes
- Hand Mixer vs Stand Mixer: I like using my electric hand mixer to whip up this sweet compound butter quickly. Since we're only using one stick of butter, I found that my stand mixer didn't beat the small quantity as efficiently.
- No Mixer: You could also use a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula & some elbow grease, but your butter might not be quite as airy.
- Pecans: You can buy roasted pecans and skip the toasting step. I just don't recommend using salted pecans, since those might make your compound butter too salty.
- Butter: For a rich flavor, splurge on a high-fat European butter, like Kerrygold.
