How to make this chocolate almond spread
When I say this recipe it's so easy, I mean it.
Put all the ingredients in a small bowl, stir well to combine, and voila! No equipment required!
Transfer the mix to a glass jar, and you're ready to go.
Hint: If you live in a cold place, you'll have to melt the coconut oil in the microwave before combining all the ingredients.
Substitutions
There's a few tweaks you can do for this recipe that will work well
- Go vegan - using maple syrup instead of honey. You could use dates as well, but then you will need a food processor.
- Use cocoa powder instead of cacao - just make sure you use a sugar-free cocoa powder.
- Do you rather other butter? No worries - this recipe can be made with other nut butters. Cashew or macadamia will work fantastic as well. Peanut butter is a great option too, if you tolerate peanuts well.
Storage
Great news! All the ingredients in this recipe are long lasting, so you can store this spread in a glass jar at room temperature for weeks.
I don't think you will actually be able to have it for weeks though, it's so good it will only last a few days 🙃
Top tip for this chocolate almond spread!!
You can play around with the consistency of this spread, by adding more or less coconut oil. If you like it more runny, add ½ tablespoon of coconut oil. If you like it thicker, add ½ tablespoon of coconut oil less.
