You start with butter. Anything that starts with butter is going to be amazing, right? Right. Mmm, buttah. You know you love it, too. 

As I was saying…  Start with 2/3 cup of butter. Melt it gently (I did it in the microwave). Stir in your vanilla extract, pure stevia powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.  Then make sure to mix it all together so that it’s nice and smooth. And smelling irresistible. Toss 4 cups of pecans in the bowl with all that yumminess, spread them on a foil lined tray, and pop them into the oven. 

HOW EASY WAS THAT?!

After 12 minutes or so, take them out and give them a good stir and then cook them for 12 more minutes. I like to bake them at 300 degrees, but if you want a more well done nut you can do them at 325. 

While they are cooking, mix together erythritol and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir well. Once the pecans are done toasting, pull the tray out of the oven. Give them another good stir and sprinkle on your “cinnamon sugar” yumminess (aka the erythritol and cinnamon blend). I used my fingers, but if you had a shaker you could use that, too.

These can be served hot to your guests or you can let them cool and store them in an airtight container to munch on throughout the week. These are great all on their own, sprinkled atop a salad, or on the side of your lunch on the go. Bon Apetit!
