INGREDIENTS:
- 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 (I used maple syrup)
- 1 packet stevia, or 1 tbsp more agave or sugar (I used 1 packet of Stevia)
- 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt
- optional: 2-3 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 Vanilla Almond Breeze)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Roast hazelnuts for 10-14 minutes at 420 F.
- Remove and let cool. 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 food processor, blend the nuts until they’ve turned to butter, then add all other ingredients and blend till it’s smooth like Nutella.
