Vegan Nutella
This rich and creamy Vegan Nutella is packed with hazelnuts, coconut sugar, cacao powder, with hints of vanilla. It’s a healthy take on store-bought Nutella minus the downsides of artificial additives with the additional perk of being gluten-free. Spread it on toast or dip fruits into it, this hazelnut cocoa spread will satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising taste or nutrition.
Ingredients
- 5 cups Hazelnuts
- 1/4-1/3 cup coconut sugar to taste
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil optional
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- ⅙ tsp salt
Instructions
- First start by roasting your Hazelnuts until golden. 425f for about 10 minutes should do the trick! Watch carefully at the end so they don’t burn! You can also buy them pre-roasted!
- If your Hazelnuts have skins on them, rub them off after roasting by rubbing them with a kitchen towel before adding them to your blender or food processor.
- Blend the hazelnuts until completely smooth - it should take less than 5 minutes. Hazelnuts are very easy to turn into nut butter!
- Once the hazelnut butter is super smooth add in the rest of your ingredients and blend again until fully incorporated.
- Make sure not to use any water based ingredients such as water, maple syrup, honey etc as these will cause your nut butter to seize up!
- Spread two tablespoons of Vegan Nutella on toast, oatmeal bowls, in smoothies and more! Enjoy!
