When it comes to Nutella I am a spoon and jar kinda girl, I don't really see the point of eating it any other way.
So when I started seeing recipes on how to make yourself I obviously had to give it a go. There are so many variations on how to make it but I decided to create a guilt-free version.
If you're like me I'm sure you are sceptical about the taste, healthy Nutella?? Surely it's not as good as the real stuff?! Wrong!
This is just as good.
To make this yourself you will need;
2 cups hazelnuts
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 1/2 tablespoons cacao powder
1/2 cup hazelnut milk (almond or coconut will also do)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 tablespoons coconut sugar
Preheat your oven to 160° C, line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour your hazelnuts onto the tray. Place tray in the oven and roast the hazelnut for about 15 minutes (or until the skins have darkened and started to crack).
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool.
Place the nuts on a damp kitchen towel then close the towel and rub the nuts until their skins fall off. Get off as much as you can, there will be some stubborn bits that will stick don't worry about it.
Once the skins are removed put the hazelnuts in your food processor.
Grind them until they become a fine powder, this took about 5 minutes with my food processor.
Scrape down the sides of the food processor and add the coconut oil. Continue to blend until the mixture becomes a smooth, creamy, buttery texture, scraping down the sides when needed. (This can take up to 15 minutes)
Once the hazelnut butter is ready, add in the remaining ingredients and blend until it is silky smooth.
Pour your Nutella into a clean jar and enjoy!
**store in the fridge and keep up to a week (if it lasts that long)**
If you are feeling particularly indulgent I suggest trying some Nutella. Stuffed. French. Toast.
Mmmmhmm I just went there.
