💕We love the idea of choccy nut butter: a promising combo of cocoa (rich in flavonoids) and nuts (rich in minerals, B vitamins, fibre, fats – we could go on). But supermarket jars disappoint. Instead of cocoa or nuts topping the ingredients list, it’s sugar followed by plain old refined vegetable oil. So it kind of is like spreading sugary chocolate, adding a couple of nuts,and drizzling some unappetising vegetable oil on your toast – not the greatest start to a day. 🍫Our version is very easy and something we are happy to offer our kids. Try out the recipe below👇🏻
⠀
2 cups hazelnuts⠀
0.25 cup cacao or cocoa powder⠀
2 tbsp coconut oil⠀
1 tsp vanilla extract⠀
2 tbsp maple syrup⠀
0.5 cup coconut milk carton; optional, if needed to thin⠀
⠀
🔸Spread the nuts on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 minutes at 160 degrees C. The skins should look cracked. Let them cool then place in a tea towel and rub, to remove the skins.⠀
🔹Put nuts in a food processor and blitz. Give your food processor a break every few minutes and scrape down the sides. 🔸First you'll end up with chopped nuts, then a couple of minutes later you'll end up with a nutty-looking dough. Keep going until the nuts release their oils, and the nut butter is a little liquidy.⠀
🔹Keep going until the nuts release their oils, and the nut butter drips thickly off a spoon (around 10 minutes)⠀
🔸Add cacao, coconut oil, vanilla, maple syrup and blitz.⠀
🔹Add remaining milk if you like your chocolate nut butter a little more runny⠀
🔸Store in a sterilised glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks⠀
😊Mistakes are part of life - we can’t wait for the perfect time to make change and it’s often better to take imperfect action than to take none at all. ⠀
⠀
😳I regret missed opportunities, times when I’ve not been brave enough to follow something through or confident enough to step outside my comfort zone. But I dont regret my mistakes.⠀
⠀
🙏We are who we are today and where we’re meant to be right now because of the paths we’ve taken - and that includes the mistakes we’ve made. ⠀
⠀
👍Mistakes are ok. Peacefully accepting them, never regretting them and viewing them as an opportunity to learn and to grow and to find out who we are and where we’re meant to be is the gift our mistakes give us. ⠀
