Pecans
3 tablespoons sugar (or coconut sugar)

2 tablespoons hummus or Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

2.Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set your egg whites aside.

3. Mash you egg yolks with a fork until crumbled.

4. Add your hummus or Greek Yogurt and mustard to the yolks and mix well.
