No mystery oils, no sugar overload—just deep chocolate flavor, natural sweetness, and the nostalgic comfort of spreading love on toast. Grab your food processor—it’s time to feel like a kitchen wizard!
Ingredients
-
2 cups (240g) raw or blanched hazelnuts
-
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
⅓ cup natural sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or powdered sugar)
-
¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp fine sea salt
-
½ cup milk or 2 tbsp neutral oil (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
1️⃣ Roast: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread hazelnuts on a tray, roast 10–12 mins until fragrant and skins split. Shake halfway—don’t walk away!
2️⃣ Skin: Wrap warm nuts in a clean towel, rub to remove skins (perfection not required!).
3️⃣ Blend: Add nuts to processor. Blend 8–10 mins, scraping sides often. Be patient—crumbs → paste → glossy nut butter.
4️⃣ Flavor: Add cocoa, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Blend 1–2 mins more. For a silkier spread, stream in warm milk or oil until smooth.
5️⃣ Jar: Spoon into a clean jar. Chill to thicken, spread at room temp for max scoopability!
Notes
-
Roast nuts darker for a deep, toasty flavor.
-
For smoother texture, add liquid warm.
-
Store in fridge for 2 weeks—stir if it separates!
