ServesMakes about 2 cupsPrep25 minutesCook20 minutesTotal45 minutes + 15 minutes resting
ingredients
- 500g almonds
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup pitted dates
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
method
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
- Place almonds onto a lined baking tray and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. This will bring out the natural oils of the almond and make it easier to blend.
- Allow almonds to completely cool before proceeding to the next step.
- Into a strong food processor, add almonds, coconut oil, dates, salt and cinnamon and begin to blend. Scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure it's all mixing!
- Blend until a smooth paste. Depending on your food processor, this could take around 20 minutes. I tested this recipe with a normal food processor and it took me 20 minutes of blending time and also with my Thermomix and that took 10 minutes.
- Once it's all done, store in an airtight container and eat (ie. spoon it onto EVERYTHING)
