Homemade Nutella ingredients
I love this recipe for homemade Nutella! It’s not quite the same as the real stuff, but it’s a great healthier alternative made with wholesome real-food ingredients and no added refined sugars!
- 1 cup hazelnuts, roasted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil (for best results, either buy from these pre-vetted coconut oil brands or make your own coconut oil at home!)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract (easy to DIY vanilla extract at home – although it DOES take awhile)
- Between 1/4 and 1/2 cup coconut milk (either buy good-quality coconut milk or DIY at home)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (this is a great counterpoint to the sweetness and really emphasizes the flavors)
How to make homemade Nutella
In addition to easily-found, all-natural ingredients, this recipe is also VERY easy to do. The three simple steps in this recipe only take a few minutes to execute:
- You should use a food processor to blend the hazelnuts until they form a nut butter. (That is, until they’re fully broken down.)
- Add 1/4 cup of coconut milk along with the remaining ingredients.
- Blend until mixture is creamy and smooth. Add more coconut milk if needed.
And that’s it!
