Ingredients

• 1/2 c raw almonds
• 1 1/2 C raw pecans
• 2 pitted dates (we used medjool)
• 2 t salt
• 1/2 orange, zested
• 1/4 c almond oil (might take a little more)

Directions

1. Place the almond and pecans on a baking sheet. Roast on 300ºF for 10-15 minutes, until pecans have darkened and the almonds begin to crack a little. Let the nuts cool. Add the nuts to the food processor, along with the dates, orange zest, salt and almond oil. Blend until smooth. You may have to take off the food processor lid and scrape the sides a few times to incorporate all the nuts.

2. If your butter looks a little crumbly, add more oil, a little at a time, until it comes together. Once the butter begins to reach a smooth consistency, just let the food processor run a wee bit longer, until it’s as smooth as you’d like it.
