Servings: 40
Ingredients
- 3 cups Roasted hazelnuts skins removed if possible
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or coconut oil more if needed
- ½ cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1½ tablespoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cacao or cocoa powder
- ¾ cup Almond milk (or oat milk or whole milk) as needed for creaminess
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add roasted hazelnuts to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend for 5–8 minutes or until they turn into a smooth nut butter, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Once creamy, add oil, honey (or sweetener of choice), vanilla, cacao, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Slowly add almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending until you reach a silky, spreadable Nutella-like texture. Add more milk if you like it looser.
- Transfer to a clean jar. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Roast for Maximum Flavor: Roasted hazelnuts give the spread its deep, nutty flavor. If starting with raw hazelnuts, roast them at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, then rub them with a kitchen towel to remove as much skin as possible.
Blend with patient: The hazelnuts will go through stages from crumbly to clumpy, then oily finally creamy. Keep blending until you get a perfectly smooth, silky texture.
Scrape Often: Stop the blender periodically to scrape down the sides for even blending.
Customize the flavor: For a sweeter spread, add a bit more honey or maple syrup. For a deeper chocolate flavor, mix in extra cacao or cocoa powder.
Adjust the Creaminess: If your Nutella feels too thick, add a splash of milk or a drizzle of oil and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
