Cocoa and Toasted Coconut Almond Butter
Servings: 16 (tablespoon sized)
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
Directions:
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and toast the coconut flakes, shaking or stirring frequently until lightly browned and fragrant. Immediately transfer the coconut to a small plate so it doesn’t continue cooking.
In a large food processor with the blade attachment, process the almonds until they make a smooth paste. This takes longer than you’d expect, and it will go through a few stages until it smooths out. You may have to periodically scrape the sides of the container.
Add the toasted coconut flakes, cocoa powder, and sea salt to the processor bowl. Process until fully combined.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
