Why Pecan Butter?
Why not peanut or almond butter? Pecan butter is rich, buttery, and slightly sweet that it almost tastes like natural caramel.
Look for:
- 100% pecans
- Minimal ingredients
- Natural oil separation (totally normal!)
Health perks:
- Heart-healthy fats
- Fiber for digestion
- Magnesium and vitamin E
And bonus: it works on toast, in smoothies, or straight from the jar!
Ingredients (Makes ~12 Kabobs)
- 4 ripe but firm bananas
- ½–1 cup pecan butter
- ¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Fresh pineapple or strawberries (optional)
- 12 wooden skewers
Tip: Soak skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent splintering.
How to Make Pecan Butter Banana Kabobs
- Slice the bananas into 1-inch chunks.
- Thread them onto skewers, 4–5 pieces each, leaving a little space.
- Coat with pecan butter—yes, it’ll be messy, and that’s part of the fun.
- Add toppings while the butter is still sticky. Coconut, chocolate chips, nuts—anything goes!
- Serve immediately, or chill 15–30 minutes for a firmer snack.
Fun Variations
- With Chocolate: Mini chocolate chips + a drizzle of dark chocolate
- A Tropical Twist: Pineapple, extra coconut, maybe a sprinkle of lime zest
- With Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, and a touch of honey
- For Extra Crunch: Chopped nuts, granola, or crushed graham crackers
