Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups hazelnuts
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, then rub them in a towel to remove the skins.
Transfer the skinned hazelnuts to a food processor. Process them until they form a smooth butter, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Add the cocoa powder, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the hazelnut butter in the food processor. Blend until fully combined.
Slowly add the coconut milk while the processor is running until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and the prepared Nutella mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Melt the coconut oil and drizzle it over the surface of the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into bars.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate to keep fresh longer.
