Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-15 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer the warm hazelnuts to a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove the skins. Some skins may remain; this is okay.
Place the peeled hazelnuts in a food processor and blend them until they form a smooth nut butter. This should take about 5-10 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the hazelnut butter in the food processor along with the vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, and salt.
Process everything together until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides and ensuring everything is well combined.
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness to your liking by adding more maple syrup if necessary.
Transfer the homemade Nutella to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your high protein homemade Nutella spread on toast, pancakes, or as a dip for fruits!
