Homemade Nutella. The wonderful creamy, silky, chocolatey, hazelnut spread that is adored by chocolate lovers throughout the world! Me being me, I had to try my hand at making it at home! If it can be packaged, it can be made at home… much healthier. I altered this recipe a bit from Steph Chows blog. I added coconut oil to make it a bit silkier and to add a bit of nutritional punch!
Did you know — Coconut oil improves digestion, strengthens the immune system, and protects against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.
(You can tell in the image that it’s a little bit chunkier than I had wanted. My blender burned out a couple weeks ago making homemade gyro’s 🙁 I used my mini food processor which did the best it possibly could.. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can… LOL!)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raw hazelnuts
- 2 tbs cocoa powder
- 3 tbs real maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbs coconut oil
Method:
- Roast hazelnuts in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the skins by rubbing them with your hands.
- Blend the hazelnuts in a food processor or blender until they form into a thick butter.
- Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
- Put into a jar and refrigerate.
Buen Provecho!!

No fair!! I have that on my list of things I want to make for the blog… LOL!! Yummy? Creamy? Smooth? I can't wait to try! I bet it is the same recipe that I found too :o) LOL!
Wow, I've never even thought of making homemade Nutella but that is one treat I love! Great idea – thanks for sharing!
I made homemade nutella a while back and it was fantastic!! I used some virgin coconut oil and some expeller pressed to keep the coconutty flavor (and cost) down a little. I thought about spreading it on toast, but ended up eating most of it out of the jar with a spoon. Lovely photos!
Oh my goodness that looks amazing! I love nutella but I never buy it anymore…I had no idea I could make it AT HOME!!
Thanks so much for this post! I am definitely going to give it a shot.
