Ingredients

2 cups raw hazelnuts*
3 tablespoon coconut oil melted
½ cup coconut sugar**
¼ cup cocoa powder
pinch of sea salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spread the hazelnuts out on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the melted coconut oil over top and move the nuts around with a spoon to make sure each is coated in oil. Roast in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes until golden brown (keep an eye on them around the 10 minute mark as they can burn easily).
2 cups raw hazelnuts*, 3 tablespoon coconut oil
Transfer the hazelnuts to a food processor and blend until thin and creamy. This can take a few minutes. It's important to get the mixture to a thin consistency before moving onto the next step so keep blending until it's quite thin.
Once blended, add the coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Continue to blend until the powder and sugar are "dissolved" in the mixture.
½ cup coconut sugar**, ¼ cup cocoa powder, pinch of sea salt
Transfer the hazelnut butter to a glass container and store in the fridge. It will thicken up in the fridge and will stay fresh for up 2 weeks.

Notes

*You can use pre-roasted hazelnuts if needed. However, you will need to skip the first step and will not need to use the coconut oil before blending them in the food processor.

**Feel free to use more or less coconut sugar as desired. I would not use more than a cup as it may effect the texture.
