Traditional store-bought Nutella from the brand Nutella is not Vegan and is made with skim milk. There are some store-bought chocolate-hazelnut spreads that are vegan though.

How long does homemade Nutella last?

Homemade Nutella can last about 2 weeks in the pantry or 2 months in the fridge. If stored in the fridge it though it will become hard.

Is homemade Vegan Nutella healthy?

Yes. This recipe is definitely healthier than store-bought Nutella and can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy diet.

Can I make this recipe with any other nuts?

Yes. While it technically won't be a chocolate hazelnut spread, you can make this recipe with almonds, walnuts, cashews or any other nuts you love.

Can I make this recipe with store-bought hazelnut butter or other nut butter?

Yes, you can. Hazelnut butter can be a little tricky to find, which is why this recipe is made with hazelnuts, (plus making it from scratch is extra tasty!) but if you can find it you can use 1 1/2 cups of hazelnut butter instead of hazelnuts.

The BEST Homemade Vegan Nutella

Description

The BEST EVER homemade vegan Nutella with all-natural ingredients. Yum!

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 1/2 cups plain unsalted hazelnuts
4 oz 70% dark chocolate
1/4 cup refined coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 tsp salt

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, or until lightly coloured.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Place the hazelnuts in the center of a kitchen hand towel and close all 4 edges to make a pouch. Use your hands to rub the hazelnuts in the towel to remove the skins. (This will be much quicker than doing them all individually by hand.)
Once the skins are removed, place the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until they start to turn into hazelnut butter. (This should take 2-3 minutes.)
Next, melt the dark chocolate in a bowl with coconut oil in the microwave.
Add the melted chocolate, maple syrup and salt to the food processor and puree for 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Store in a jar in the pantry for up to 2 weeks. The Nutella can also be stored in the fridge for 2 months, but it will become quite hard and need to be thawed before using.

Notes

Make sure to use unsalted hazelnuts.

No chocolate? Use cocoa powder. If you don’t have any dark chocolate on hand, you can substitute it with 1/3 cup of cocoa powder.

Blend the Nutella long enough. The longer you blend it together the smoother it will become. It helps to have a powerful blender or food processor to help make it creamy.
