The recipe titled "Breakfast in the Car" makes a vanilla pecan butter that's used to make roll-ups with flattened whole wheat bread and sliced banana.
Since I didn't need to eat this in the car, I toasted the multigrain bread and added a drizzle of hot honey to my version.
Today's second breakfast:
Tasty stuff, that vanilla pecan butter!
Edited to add that I made the nut butter in my Blendtec with the Twister jar. It's a perfect tool for nut butters. The recipe called for 1/2 a vanilla bean. I can taste the vanilla but wouldn't mind more. No doubt this is partially due to a measuring issue that could have been avoided with weights instead of cups. The recipe called for 2 cups of pecans. I had pecan halves and pieces so I used a little less but still wound up with a full cup of nut butter when the recipe estimated a yield of 1/2 cup. Finally, pecans are rather pricy these days (I notice Trader Joe's is offering only 1/2 lb bags, no doubt to lessen the sticker-shock) so pecan butter is unlikely to become a pantry staple for me but I'll enjoy this while I have it. Should be delish smeared on tart, crisp apple slices.
