Refined-Sugar Free Healthier Nutella

chocolate + hazelnuts = perfection

I love this recipe because it is the perfect combination of hazelnuts and chocolate to give that nostalgic taste-and even better is sweetened with date sugar.

It is perfect to spread, on fruit, or use in recipes like these Ferrero Rocher!

Ingredients and benefits:

Hazelnuts: Of course we need these! They’re rich in antioxidants, health fats, and vitamins to protect heart health and support blood sugar.

Cacao powder: Rich in flavonoids that lower blood pressure and have anti-aging effects.

Date sugar: A natural sweetener that contains fiber, minerals, and antioxidants.

Salt: Balances the flavors

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

• Roast hazelnut for 10-15 minutes

• Remove from oven and pour into kitchen towel. Rub the skins off by folding the towel over the top of them

• Once skins are off (it’s okay if they’re not totally off) add to food processor with the rest of the ingredients

• Blend until combined, it will take a few minutes and scrape down the sides if you need to

• Store in glass jar and enjoy 😋
