Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they're fragrant and their skins have darkened.
Once roasted, use a clean kitchen towel to rub the hazelnuts together and remove most of the skins. It’s fine if some skins remain.
Transfer the warm hazelnuts to a food processor and blend them until they form a smooth butter, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract to the food processor. Blend again until the mixture is well combined.
With the processor running, drizzle in the vegetable oil until you have a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or under a broiler to your desired level of crispiness.
Spread the homemade low sodium Nutella generously onto each slice of toasted bread.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
