Make healthy Vegan Nutella at home in just 10 minutes. This homemade nutella is smooth and creamy - enjoy as a spread for toast, drizzled over ice cream, or just on the spoon!
Alright, this recipe might be competing for my all-time favorite recipe. Don't get me wrong, my plant-based bourbon pecan pie and my no-churn date-sweetened vegan vanilla ice cream are both incredibly delicious recipes. But this nutella.
THIS NUTELLA.
It is SO good.
And it's so easy to make. Like 10 minutes and you're done. I can't believe I haven't tried making nutella before. This spread is so good. No wonder people love nutella so much.
As per usual, I've made some swaps to the original recipe to make a healthy, whole food version of nutella. One that is delicious and nutrient dense.
Okay were do I start? This nutella is rich and thick and creamy. It's the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with tons of flavor from the nutty hazelnuts and chocolate. Like, it's a dream.
Step 1. Add the hazelnuts to a food processor and blend until smooth. This may take several minutes and you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl. When smooth, the nut butter should sound 'sloshy' as it splashes on the sides of the food processor.
Step 2. While the nut butter is processing, melt the chocolate.
Step 3. Add the melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to the nut butter. Pulse a few times to mix - avoid overmixing. Serve and enjoy!
Oh the possibilities...
Since this nutella doesn't have any oils or gums to keep a certain consistency, too many added ingredients will ruin the texture. Use only as much maple syrup as you need to achieve your preferred sweetness level.
I recommend using only maple syrup or date syrup. A dry sweetener might cause the nutella to clump up.
If you really want to use a dry sweetener, use something like stevia that has a high ratio of sweetness to volume, so you can add as little dry ingredients as possible
Cocoa powder is very dry, and when added to hazelnut butter it clumps up to create a terrible texture. Use only melted chocolate
Thank you God for this decadent homemade nutella. Thank you for helping us to create healthy versions of foods we love, so we can enjoy our food and fuel our bodies at the same time. Amen.
