HOMEMADE VEGAN NUTELLA

With all the healthy “detox” foods this January, I figured it’s time to share something a little more on the sweet side.

Don’t get me wrong, this homemade vegan nutella is still totally healthy! But it can be enjoyed as a treat or for dessert.

Nutella is one of those treats I remember having when I was younger that I especially loved on crepes with sliced bananas. I find it funny now when I see nutella advertised as a healthy breakfast option, when in reality it’s loaded with sugar and processed artificial ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups plain unsalted hazelnuts
• 1/2 cup 70% dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, or until lightly colored.
2. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. Place the hazelnuts in the center of a kitchen hand towel and close all 4 edges to make a pouch. Use your hands to rub the hazelnuts in the towel to remove the skins. (This will be much quicker than doing them all individually by hand!)
