Healthy Nutella Recipe
This sweet and healthy recipe it's for those days when you're unable to resist your desires. Delight in this sin of gluttony, without guilt.
Portions: 1 medium jar
Ingredients
- 150 gr hazelnuts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 to 2 tbsp raw cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp water (optional)
- 1 dsp honey
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by roasting your hazelnuts, either in the oven (approx. 15 min at 180º) or in a frying pan, over high heat and until they start to get toasty.
- Place the hazelnuts in a food processor, kitchen robot, or blender and use at maximum speed until the hazelnuts crumble into small pieces.
- Turn it off, open the lid, and push everything on the walls down.
- Turn it on again a little until it's flour-like.
- Repeat this process until the hazelnuts start to turn into a somewhat viscous paste.
- Add the coconut oil, salt, and chocolate, and continue to turn it on and off as you control the consistency.
- If it's taking too long, add water to make the paste form more easily, and turn the blender on until you get a homogeneous paste, almost like a cream.
- Add the honey and mix well.
- Pour your healthy Nutella into a glass jar.
- Serve to your liking.
Notes
You can use this healthy Nutella to spread on bread or on pancakes, to top a cake, or to eat with a piece of fruit.
Basically, this recipe is so versatile that you can use it however you like.
You don't have to use hazelnuts, you can use whatever nuts you like.
The water can be replaced with milk or a plant-based drink.
The honey can be replaced by a sweetener of your choice or even dates, I'd say about 4 to 5 dates previously soaked and pitted. Add the dates at the same time you add the chocolate.
If you want a crunchier touch, add a handful of hazelnuts and pulse on medium speed just to break them up and wrap them in your healthy Nutella.
