Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 2  heaping cups (240g raw walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup 60g raw pecans
  • 4  tablespoons grade B maple syrup (room temperature)
  • 4  teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3-4  vanilla beans (cut with seeds scraped out)
  • 1/8 teaspoon  sea salt

Instruction

  • Preheat an oven to 300°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread out the walnuts and pecans and roast for 10 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the nuts and syrup to a food processor and pulse until puréed, smooth and no longer crumbly, scraping the sides as necessary. This may take a few minutes depending on your processor. Slice the vanilla beans down the middle and scrape all the seeds out with a spoon. Be sure to get them all out.
  • Add the cinnamon, salt and vanilla seeds to the food processor. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides as necessary. It should reach a thick, paste-like consistency, as in the photos.
