Do you all love Nutella hazelnut spread as much as I do? It makes everything taste better, especially fruit. But I don’t love how much refined sugar and dairy it has in it. The #1 ingredient is sugar, which means there is more sugar than hazelnuts. Crazy!

After reading the ingredients, I tweaked them to make a paleo Nutella that was refined sugar free and dairy free.

All that is in my paleo nutella is hazelnuts, cacao powder, coconut sugar, a pinch of salt, and water. That’s it. Completely guilt free and clean eating.

I roast the hazelnuts to intensify their flavor. Then, I use my food processor to turn the hazelnuts into hazelnut butter. It only takes about 5 minutes since hazelnuts are so soft. Then I add in cacao powder, coconut sugar, a pinch of salt, and some water to thin it to that perfect Nutella consistency.

This recipe makes 2 cups of homemade paleo nutella. I store them in 2 of these half pint mason jars. I’ll keep 1 the fridge, and the other in the freezer. Love freezer safe mason jars! It will keep in the fridge for at least a month, and in the freezer for at least a year.

But in my house, I’m lucky if it lasts longer than a week before we eat it all, ha!

Ingredients 
 

Instructions 

  • On a rimmed baking sheet, roast the hazelnuts at 300º for 20 minutes.
  • Once the hazelnuts are cool enough to touch, rub them with a kitchen towel between your hands to rub off any excess hazelnut skin. You don't need to get all of it, some skins are ok.
  • In a food processor with the S Blade attachment, process the hazelnuts until creamy. About 5-7 minutes. I scrape down the bowl and lid once or twice.
  • Add the coconut sugar, cocao powder and pinch of salt. Process another 2-3 minutes.
  • With the blade running, remove to top pour spout and slowly pour in 6 tablespoons water. Process another 5 minutes until very creamy. Add in another 1-2 tablespoons of water if a thinner consistency is desired.
  • Store in an airtight container. I store mine in 2 wide mouth 1/2 pint size mason jars, which are also freezer friendly mason jars. Will keep refrigerated for 1 month, and frozen for 1 year.
