Chocolate Hazelnut Butter

This luscious chocolate nut butter is one of my childhood favorites. Only this time, it's a much healthier version. But don't let that scare you, it's still as creamy, decadent and delectable!




Ingredients:

  • 2 cups hazelnuts, soaked 6-8 hours, drained, rinsed and dehydrated 8 hours or until crunchy
  • 1 1/2 cups agave nectar
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, liquid
  • 3/4 cup cacao powder

  1. Place hazelnuts, salt and cinnamon into a food processor with the blender and process until nuts become butter (this might take up to 10 - 15 minutes). Periodically, scrape nuts down from the side of processor bowl to keep ingredients well incorporated.
  2. Add coconut oil and cacao to nut butter and process again until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Place in airtight glass container. Will keep for one month.
