Dark Chocolate Almond Butter
Ingredients
Substitution
Note
- 3 cups raw almonds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 4oz dark chocolate (sweetened with coconut sugar)
- pinch of sea salt
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 350F / 177C.
Step 2
Spread almonds on a baking tray with NO parchment or foil.
Roast for 7 – 8 minutes, then remove and shake the tray to flip the almonds, then bake again for an additional 6 – 8 minutes, being careful to make sure the almonds do not burn. Once finished, set aside to cool ONLY for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Melt the chocolate in the microwave by gradually warming it. Microwave for 25 -30 seconds, stir, then repeat until the chocolate is smooth.
Step 4
Place the almonds in a food processor and process for 1 minute, then stop. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides. Repeat this until the almonds turn into smooth butter, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the vanilla and dark chocolate to the food processor and a generous pinch of sea salt. Process one final time until smooth.
Step 6
Store in an airtight jar or container. I like to keep mine in the fridge but you can store it in the pantry. Should last for 1 – 2 months.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hey, I'm Kevin
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle.
By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget.
