A healthier, refined sugar free natural nutella alternative!

Nutella is a sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread that is very popularly around the world and especially in Europe where I grew up.

The main ingredients in the Italian manufactured Nutella is sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, and milk powder.

Who grew up eating a lot of Nutella like I did?

When my sister and I were younger, we would want to eat Nutella on a slice of bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I definitely think we were slightly addicted and I’m confident we always had it stocked.

Now that I actually read the food labels, I no longer buy Nutella. It contains saturated fat and lot of refined sugar.

So what does one do when you still love Nutella? You make your own! With all real and natural ingredients.

This natural nutella is still packed with chocolate and hazelnut flavor and is made in the food processor.

It’s actually very simple and it’s the same as making any kind of nut butter but then just adding a couple of key ingredients.

First, the hazelnuts are roasted to maximize flavor.

Next, nut butter is made in the food processor then sweetened with coconut sugar and flavored with cocoa powder!

It is best to use a sugar rather than a liquid sweetener as this will change the texture of the nutella.

For a smooth nutella outcome, it is best to use powdered coconut sugar.

You can use a spice grinder, coffee bean grinder or high speed blender to make your own powdered sugar.

Watch me make it in this video!
