Homemade Nutella: A Delicious and Healthier Alternative

Published:

Nutella, the famous chocolate-hazelnut spread, has been a household staple for many years. Its rich and creamy texture, combined with its sweet and nutty flavor, makes it a favourite for many people. However, store-bought Nutella often contains a lot of sugar and artificial ingredients, which can be unhealthy if consumed in large quantities.

Thankfully, it’s easy to make a homemade version of Nutella that’s just as delicious but much healthier. This homemade Nutella recipe is made with natural ingredients, such as hazelnuts, cocoa powder, and maple syrup, and it’s free of preservatives and artificial flavours.

Nutella (Homemade) Ingredients:

  • 1 cup roasted hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Method:

1. Start by roasting the hazelnuts in a pan until they turn golden brown. Once done, let them cool down and remove the skin by rubbing them between your palms.

2. In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts until they turn into a fine paste.

3. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the hazelnuts paste and blend until smooth and creamy.

4. Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge.

5. The homemade Nutella will thicken as it cools, but it can be easily spreadable even when chilled.

This homemade recipe is a great way to enjoy the taste of Nutella without all the sugar and artificial ingredients. The hazelnuts provide a good source of healthy fats, fibre, and protein, while the cocoa powder and maple syrup give it a rich chocolate flavour.

It can be used as a spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, as a filling for crepes and as a topping for ice-creams and desserts. It is a much healthier alternative to store-bought Nutella and can be stored for up to a month in the fridge.
