Healthy Nutella
(Makes about 2 cups)
This is a Gluten-Free Recipe.
2 cups raw hazelnuts (240g)
1 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp xylitol, or agave, or sugar, or maple syrup
1 packet nunaturals stevia, or 1 tbsp more agave or sugar
1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt
optional: 2 tsp oil (for extra smoothness, but it’s still very smooth if you leave out the oil)
1/2 cup milk of choice (I used Almond Breeze)
Roast hazelnuts for 10-14 minutes at 400 F. Rub them together in a paper towel to get the skins off. (It’s ok if a few stubborn skins won’t come off.) In a Vita-mix or food processor, blend the nuts until they’ve turned to butter, then add all other ingredients and blend a long time until it’s smooth like Nutella! (I think I blended off-and-on for a full two minutes. It’s extra-creamy in a Vita-mix, but a Cuisinart food processor works as well.)
The nutritional info includes the sugar/agave. For a sugar-free version, you can replace all of the sugar with an equal amount of xylitol.  Or, you can sweeten with stevia instead. (I haven’t personally tried this recipe using just stevia, so I can’t vouch for the resulting taste if you go that route.)

Homemade Nutella Nutrition Information


This recipe yields around 2 cups.
Per 15 g serving:
57 calories (regular Nutella has 100)
4.5 g fat
2.5 g sugar (regular Nutella has 10 grams!)
4 g carbohydrates
0 mg cholesterol
This nutritional info DOES include the sugar/agave AND the optional oil. If you sub stevia or xylitol for the sugar, the amount of calories (and obviously the sugar) will be lower. (As I said in the post, I haven’t personally tried subbing stevia for the sugar, and therefore I can’t vouch for the taste. But xylitol works well!)
