Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the flaked almonds in a single layer on the sheet and bake for about 8 minutes, until the almonds are golden brown. It’s a good idea to stir them halfway through so they brown evenly. Make sure they don’t burn!
- Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a low heat.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted flaked almonds, cocoa, protein powder, honey, melted coconut oil, coffee and salt.
- Process on high until the nuts are broken down and everything is smooth. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides a couple of times to get all the nuts incorporated. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
