Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Spread hazelnuts in a baking tray and roast for 10-15 minutes depending on how powerful your oven is. Watch them closely to make sure they don’t burn.

Step 3

Remove hazelnuts from the oven. In order to achieve smooth Nutella, the skin needs to be removed from the hazelnuts.*

Step 4

Transfer the warm, peeled hazelnuts to a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until very smooth. You will likely have to stop and scrape the sides of your container a few times before the butter is really smooth.

Step 5

Add the cacao powder, vanilla, salt and dairy-free milk and blend again until well combined.

Step 6

Slather some of this healthy, sugar-free nutella on a piece of toast, your favourite pancakes, or eat it straight from the jar with a spoon like I do! The possibilities are endless, so enjoy however you please!
