Valentine Hazelnut Spread

Trying to find the perfect Hazelnut Spread was quiet a challenge to me. A year ago when I started my healthy journey I promised myself to never buy a Nutella Jar for the house again. So for that to happen I kept on trying to make a hazelnut spread that is yummy and nutritious at the same time so we can have it whenever we want without all the added sugar and junk that is in the store bought hazelnut spreads and finally i must say that this Valentine Hazelnut Spread hits the spot :D

What i love most about this recipe is its simplicity! it is so easy to make with just a few ingredients. I used a mixture of sugar cane and maple syrup to sweeten it and it was perfect to my taste but you could feel free to add more or any other natural healthy sweetener you choose.

Recipe
Ingredients:
3/4 cup hazelnuts
3 TBSP cacao powder
3 TBSP coconut oil
3 TBSP water
1 TBSP sugar cane
1 TBSP Maple syrup

- Put it in a jar and shake it to remove all the skin
- Mix in a food processor until its soft

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)
