This is an easy nut spread to make if you are just learning. It is not at thick as store bought Nutella, but it tastes very similar. It is probably a very good thing that hazelnuts are not super cheap, otherwise, we would make this a lot more often than we do.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Hazelnuts raw
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 6-8 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup opt
Servings: cup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F and arrange hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Toast the hazelnut for 20 minutes until their skins begin to crack.
- Cool nuts then rub them in a dishtowel to help remove skins.
- Place hazelnuts in the bowl of a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, then process them
- into a creamy nut butter, stopping to scrape down the bowl if necessary.
- This usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Once you've got a smooth hazelnut butter, add the coconut sugar, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and 1/4 cup of water and process again until well combined.
- Taste and add maple syrup if needed.
- If you prefer a thinner spread, add water a tablespoon at a time.
- Blend until smooth.
