Ingredients 

  • ingredients:
  • 2 cups raw hazelnuts
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 heaping Tbsp unrefined coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 4 Tbsps raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Optional: Ezekiel bread or Rye, toasted, sliced bananas & strawberries

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees f.
  • Place hazelnuts onto a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until nuts are fragrant and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a bit.
  • Place cooled hazelnuts into a high speed blender or food processor.
  • Process until super smooth, it may take about about 8-10 minutes, stopping a few times to scrape the sides of the bowl. At this point you will have hazelnut butter. (Worth it!)
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, add your chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt for about 1 minute, in 20 sec increments, stirring after each. Alternatively, you may choose to melt your chocolate and coconut oil in a double broiler.
  • Back into the food processor add melted chocolate, cacao powder, raw honey, vanilla and sea salt. Process again until creamy, about 10-20 seconds more.
  • Store in a clean jar for about a week.
  • Serve over Ezekiel bread toast, and top with sliced bananas and strawberries.
  • Enjoy!
