Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 0.25 cup cacao powder
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup plant-based protein powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw cashews and almonds evenly on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Roast the nuts in the oven for 5 minutes until they are slightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the roasted cashews, almonds, and coconut oil. Blend until you achieve a smooth, buttery consistency.
Step 4
Add cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and chia seeds to the nut butter mixture. Blend until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
Add the plant-based protein powder and almond milk to the mixture. Start blending again until the mixture is creamy and well-integrated. If the spread is too thick, you may add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
Step 6
Once everything is blended to a smooth consistency, taste the spread and adjust sweetness or saltiness according to your preference.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight jar or container for storage. Store in the refrigerator for freshness, where it will thicken slightly but remain spreadable.
Step 8
Enjoy the Vegan Nutty Chocolate Protein Spread on toast, over pancakes, as a dip for fruits, or simply by the spoonful!
