Healthy Homemade Nutella

Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Keyword: breakfast, cacao, chocolate, cocoa, dairy free, easy, gluten free, hazelnut, hazelnuts, healthy, homemade, low sugar, nutella, snack, vegan
Servings: 8 oz

Ingredients

  • 2 cups hazelnuts
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder (or to taste, cocoa powder works too)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Add hazelnuts to baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add hazelnuts to a cloth and rub together to easily remove the skin (it’s okay if there is some skins left).
  • Add hazelnuts, maple syrup, cacao powder, and sea salt to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. PATIENCE is key— it’s going to take at least 5 minutes (maybe 10) and you’ll need to scrape the sides quite a few times. If you don’t have a super powerful blender or food processor, you can add a little bit of avocado oil or melted coconut oil to help with blending!
