Ingredients
2
cups
walnuts
1 1/2
tablespoon
cocoa powder
1/4
teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/2
teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/8
teaspoon
salt
1
teaspoon
maple syrup
1
tablespoon
dark chocolate chips
optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spread walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for about 7 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn.
Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Transfer walnuts to a food processor and process for about 2-3 minutes until they start forming a butter like consistency.
Add cocoa powder, cayenne, salt, vanilla and maple syrup and process for another 2-3 minutes. Mixture should be slightly drippy but still hold shape.
Transfer nut butter to a small bowl and top with chocolate chips if using.
Notes
Stored at room temperature it will remain drippy. If stored in fridge it will harden slightly.
