DIRECTIONS:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine 1 1/4 cup of the pecans with the other nuts, seeds and chia seeds. Process on high until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (some larger pieces are fine). Transfer to a large bowl and stir in salt. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and Swerve until Swerve is dissolved. Bring to just a boil, then remove from heat and stir in maple extract.
Step 4
Stir butter mixture into ground nut mixture. Stir in egg white until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Spread mixture out on prepared baking pan in an even layer. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and let cool.
Makes about 4 cups.
