Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pecans and rolled oats. This gives the base a lovely crunch and texture. Next, stir in your choice of almond butter or peanut butter along with the honey or maple syrup. The nut butter acts as a binding agent, providing creaminess and sweet richness. Don’t forget to add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to elevate those flavors! The mixture should be sticky yet manageable to work with.
