Ingredients
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10-15 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
Step 2
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer the warm hazelnuts to a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove the skins. Some skins may remain; this is okay.
Step 3
Place the peeled hazelnuts in a food processor and blend them until they form a smooth nut butter. This should take about 5-10 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 4
Melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Step 5
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the hazelnut butter in the food processor along with the vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, and salt.
Step 6
Process everything together until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides and ensuring everything is well combined.
Step 7
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness to your liking by adding more maple syrup if necessary.
Step 8
Transfer the homemade Nutella to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your high protein homemade Nutella spread on toast, pancakes, or as a dip for fruits!
