Nutworks natural cocoa powder has a deep, rich flavour that blends easily into drinks and baking. Since every order is packed fresh, the colour stays dark and the aroma stays bold. It is one of those reliable staples that earns its place in the pantry.
Nutworks cocoa powder has earned a steady place in Canadian kitchens because the flavour is rich, smooth, and always freshly packed. It blends effortlessly into drinks and baking, and it pairs well with our versatile Almond Flour for everything from brownies to quick mug cakes. With a few reliable staples like these on hand, cosy winter treats come together with almost no effort.

A Warm Mug for Cold Mornings
For an extra touch, some customers sprinkle in a little cinnamon or even a pinch of sea salt. It’s a simple upgrade that makes winter mornings feel more comforting, especially when the snow is piling up outside.
Mug Cakes for the Win
Few desserts fit Canadian schedules as well as a mug cake. A single mug, a spoon, and a couple pantry staples, and you’re minutes away from something warm and chocolatey. Customers often lean on our cocoa for this because the flavour stays bold, even in quick microwave recipes.
A basic version comes together easily:
- 1 tablespoon Nutworks Natural Cocoa Powder
- 2 tablespoons Almond Flour
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon oil
- A small pinch of salt
Mix everything right in the mug, microwave for about a minute, and you get a soft, comforting dessert that tastes like you put in far more effort than you did.
Cocoa in Everyday Recipes
Cocoa might seem like a baking ingredient, but it shows up in more places than you’d think. A spoon can deepen the flavour of oatmeal or smoothie bowls. It adds just enough richness to pancake batter to make weekend brunch special. And in savoury dishes, cocoa gives chili and stew a subtle earthiness without adding sweetness.
Here are a few small ways customers use cocoa through the week:
- Stirred into warm milk with cane sugar for instant hot chocolate
- Added to homemade brownie mixes using almond flour
- Blended into spice rubs for a hint of depth
- Mixed with maple sugar for a quick cocoa sprinkle on toast or oatmeal
Simple, everyday upgrades.
Why Quality Makes a Difference
Cocoa trees can’t grow in Canada, but everything else we can keep local, we do. Our packaging and labels are made here at home. Our custom mixes are made in-house in small batches. And every order is packed fresh, not left sitting for months.
Customers who choose the paper bag option often transfer their cocoa into glass jars when it arrives. It is a small step toward reducing waste while keeping ingredients fresh.
For anyone baking more at home or watching their grocery budget, quality cocoa goes further. A richer flavour means you use less. And when a single ingredient improves everything from drinks to desserts, it earns its keep.
FAQ
