Peanuts, almonds and hazelnuts are my nut butter go-to’s, but lately I’ve been playing around with macadamia nut butter and created a recipe that is next level delicious, I’m obsessed!

I roasted mine for a few minutes to intensify the flavor (don’t skip this step!) and blitzed them up with some cocoa and honey – so delicious! Macadamia nuts have a high fat content and blended up easily in my Nutribullet, so I didn’t need to add extra oil to get the texture I wanted.

- Servings: Makes 325 g
- 300 g raw macadamias
- 2.5 ml (½ tsp) vanilla extract
- 20 ml (4 tsp) cocoa
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) runny honey
- pinch of fine salt
1.) Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Arrange the macadamias in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2.) Place the macadamias in a high speed blender and process until they’ve broken down into a thick, grainy paste. Add the vanilla, cocoa, one tablespoon of honey and salt. Blend again until combined and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste the mixture and if you prefer it a bit sweeter add the remaining tablespoon of honey, otherwise leave as is.
3.) Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge. Stir before use.
