Ingredients
- 1¼ cups (200 g) macadamia nuts, roasted
- 10 dates, pitted
- ⅓ cup (40 g) raw cacao powder
- 2 tsp wattleseed extract (see Note)
- 1 tsp ground wattleseed
- 2 tbsp macadamia oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon myrtle
Instructions
- Blitz macadamia nuts in a food processor until they begin to form a paste. Add remaining ingredients and continue to blitz, adding 1 tsp water at a time until you reach a thick, spreadable consistency. Add a pinch of salt and stir through.
- Serve on toast, crumpets or whatever else takes your fancy. Wattella will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
Note
• For wattleseed extract, add 1 tbsp ground wattleseed to a small coffee plunger and pour in ¼ cup (60 ml) boiling water. Leave for 2 minutes to steep, then plunge as normal. (Alternatively, brew it in a tea infuser.)
Substitution options (if required)
