Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup raw walnuts ((or sub pecans))
- 1/3 cup dates ((pitted // if dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes then drain well))
- 1/2 cup dairy-free bittersweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C).
-
Spread nuts evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown and beginning to crack. Set aside to cool.
-
While the nuts are baking, add dates to a food processor and blend until a paste or ball forms. Scrape out and set aside.
-
Add slightly cooled nuts to food processor and mix until a butter forms, scraping down sides as needed.
-
Add chocolate chips and put the lid back for 1 minute to melt, then blend thoroughly.
-
Add salt, cocoa or cacao powder and mix once more.
-
Lastly, add in date paste a little at a time until it reaches a spreadable thick batter. (Save any remaining date paste for other nut butters, to sweeten smoothies or oatmeal, etc.) Blend thoroughly, then transfer to a jar. If you refrigerate, it will get hard, so I recommend leaving it at room temp (kind of like you would nutella).
-
Spread on toast, fresh toast (vegan, banana, coconut cream pie), pancakes, or oatmeal, or add to smoothies and shakes!
