Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pure stevia extract
- 2 tablespoons chocolate-flavored protein powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds and hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Roast the nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until they are aromatic and lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the roasted nuts to a clean kitchen towel and rub them together to remove as much of the hazelnut skins as possible.
Step 4
Place the nuts in a food processor and blend for about 5-7 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until a smooth nut butter forms.
Step 5
Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sea salt, stevia extract, and chocolate-flavored protein powder to the nut butter.
Step 6
Blend the mixture again while slowly adding the unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness or salt if necessary.
Step 8
Transfer the protein spread into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your Sugar-Free Nutty Chocolate Protein Spread on toast, pancakes, or as a dip for fruits.
