From Food Blog “The Toasted Pine Nut”
Swap your store-bought chocolate hazelnut spread with a healthy, homemade version!
Put it in a crepe or just use a spoon, it’s vegan + refined sugar free!
3 cups peeled hazelnuts
1/2 cup coconut sugar
splash of good vanilla essence
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 300F.
Lay your hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
Place the peeled and roasted hazelnuts in your food processor along with the coconut sugar, vanilla, sea salt, and cocoa powder.
Turn the food processor on and forget about it for about 3 minutes.
Turn it off, scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and then turn it on for another 7 – 10 minutes.
Once the mixture is smoooooth and the consistency you like, transfer the chocolate hazelnut mixture to an air-tight container and store in the fridge until you’re ready to eat!
