DESCRIPTION
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1 tbsp Dutch cocoa
- 1 tbsp raw cacao
- 2 drops vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp monk fruit sugar
- Pinch of sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pre-heat oven to 120°C / 248°F.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a big bowl, mix together all ingredients apart from almonds.
- Pour almonds into bowl and stir until each almond is coated in the cacao mixture.
- Transfer almonds to lined baking tray in a single layer, making sure the almonds are not touching each other.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the almonds are completely dry.
- Take almonds out of oven and let cool completely before storing.
NOTES
- Store in air-tight container for up to 3 weeks.
- Taste the almonds after they cool down. If they're still a bit soft or not crunchy then return them to the oven to dry out more. But take care not to burn them!
- Raw cacao powder contains more nutrients from cacao beans but Dutch cocoa powder has a deeper, richer chocolatey taste. Adjust amount of each according to your preference, or you may use one in place of the other for this recipe.
