Flourless Pecan Pie Cashew Butter Blondies are rich and gooey and full of pecan pie flavor; they’re made with a base of homemade cashew butter (made using The NutraMilk), and unless you show someone the recipe, they’d never guess these blondies are flourless!
Ingredients
1 cup (240 g) creamy unsweetened cashew butter (about 2¾ cups cups raw cashews to make homemade butter)
⅓ cup (80 ml) honey
1 large egg
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (120 g) pecans, coarsely chopped
Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
Add 2¾ cups raw cashews to the NutraMilk container. Set it on the "butter" cycle for the recommended time (about 5 to 6 minutes) and let it run until you get a smooth, creamy cashew butter.
Preheat the oven to 350F; line an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with 2 pieces of parchment paper so it hangs over all 4 sides. Lightly grease the parchment paper with coconut oil.
Use a handheld electric mixer to beat together the cashew butter, honey, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Fold in the pecans.
Transfer to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top. Bake until golden along the outside, about 18 to 20 minutes, being careful not to over-bake.
Cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Store leftovers wrapped in the fridge for up to 5 days.
