Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons paleo-friendly chocolate protein powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the raw almonds and raw cashews evenly on a baking sheet.
Toast them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Stir occasionally to ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven and allow the nuts to cool slightly.
Transfer the toasted nuts to a food processor and blend on high until they form a thick nut butter. This might take about 7-10 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Once you achieve a smooth consistency with the nut butter, add the cocoa powder, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, sea salt, and chocolate protein powder to the processor.
Blend again until all ingredients are fully combined and the spread is creamy and smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey to your preference.
Transfer the Nutty Chocolate Protein Spread to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your spread on your favorite paleo-friendly treats or straight from the jar!
