Ingredients

300 g almonds - skin on
80 g desiccated coconut
1 Tbsp cacao
1 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5.
Spread almonds on a baking tray and roast for around 10 mins.
In the meantime toast the desiccated coconut in a pan until it becomes light brown.
Once almonds and coconut are ready, whizz them together in a blender or food processor for around 20-35 mins until you have a smooth creamy paste. You might need to stop the blender / food processor a few times to scrape the sides. Be patient. The longer you wait, the smoother your almond butter will be.
Add salt, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and cacao. Whizz again until blended.
Transfer to an airtight jar. Keep the jar in the fridge. Bring to room temperature to soften.
