Plant-based Nutella
My kids are obsessed with the hazelnut chocolate spread, that's why I decided it was time to create a homemade healthy plant-based version. This sweet treat is refined sugar free, full of fiber and healthy fats and best of all, everyone will love it!
Ingredients: (preferably organic)
- 2 cups hazelnuts
- 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (optional for extra creaminess)
Directions:
01. Pre-heat the oven to 200C and toast the hazelnuts for 6-8 minutes.
02. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until creamy. Add melted coconut oil if needed. Nutella is best kept in glass containers in the fridge up to three weeks.
