Ingredients
- 2 cups unsalted blanched almonds
- 2 Tbsp grapeseed oil or sunflower oil
- 3 Tbsp cacao powder
- 1 Tbsp honey optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 4 slices whole grain or gluten-free toast
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 4 Tbsp cacao nibs optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F. On baking sheet, spread out almonds; place in oven and roast until golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes, stirring once or twice. Watch closely, as nuts can quickly go from perfectly toasted to bitterly burnt.
- While almonds are still warm, transfer to food processor or high-powered blender container and process until finely ground. Add oil and continue to blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add cacao powder, honey (if using), vanilla, cinnamon, and salt; blend for another minute.
- Mix together yogurt and lemon zest.
- Spread 2 Tbsp almond butter on each slice of toast. Layer on yogurt and strawberry slices. Sprinkle on cacao nibs, if using.
