I have mentioned earlier that when I started my healthy journey I promised myself never to buy a Nutella jar for the house again. I kept on trying to make a hazelnut spread that is delicious and nutritious without all the added sugars and junk that are in the store brought jars so we could enjoy it without harming our bodies and feeling guilty.
This No-Tella Hazelnut is made with only the best ingredients, its creamy and delicious. You could spread it on your choice of bread, rice crackers or pancakes. You can use it as a dip for fruits, as a topping to your nice creams and porridges, or just enjoy a spoonful of it by itself like I do :D
Recipe (1 small jar)
Ingredients
1 cup of hazelnuts
1/8 cup of raw coconut sugar
1/8 cup of organic maple syrup
1TBSP + 1tsp of raw cacao powder
1/2 TBSP coconut oil
1/8 cup of water + 1TBSP for later to make it even more creamy if needed
Method
- Pre heat your oven to 200c.
- Roast your hazelnuts for 20 minutes.
- Let them cool then rub them with your hands or a dishtowel to remove the skins as much as possible (it is alright if you can't get all the skin out).
- Blend all in a food processor for 5 minutes, it will start to become smooth.
- Once its smooth, add in the coconut sugar, cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut oil and water.
- Blend again until its all well combined and enjoy!
*Keep refrigerated for up to a week :)
