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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Spread the raw almonds and raw cashews evenly on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Toast them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Stir occasionally to ensure even toasting.
Step 4
Remove from the oven and allow the nuts to cool slightly.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Blend again until all ingredients are fully combined and the spread is creamy and smooth.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey to your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the Nutty Chocolate Protein Spread to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 10
Enjoy your spread on your favorite paleo-friendly treats or straight from the jar!
