Simply the best low carb chocolate hazelnut spread ever. This keto Nutella recipe is the stuff of legends. At least in my own mind, but a legend nonetheless.
It is very possible that I am among the first people to have ever created a low carb, sugar-free Nutella copycat recipe. I can’t say for sure that I was THE first, but I have been blogging since 2010 and I am certainly earliest low carb food bloggers.
I first started blogging because I was trying to create lower sugar recipes after my experience with gestational diabetes. I wasn’t fully low carb or keto because I did not know at that time that my blood sugar issues were going to stick around. But I was experimenting with sweeteners and trying to keep my sugar consumption down.
And one of the first things I ever made was a sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread. I’d spied some paleo bloggers making version with honey or maple syrup and I thought…well, I can do better than that!
How To Make Low Carb Nutella
Watch my video to see just how easy it is to make your own sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread.
How to use homemade sugar-free Nutella
I didn’t even think to blog about it right away, I was just psyched that I could come up with something that tasted even better than the sugary, high carb original. That must have been in March or April of 2010 because in May, I decided to try making something with the homemade Nutella and I turned it into low carb cookies (which I cutely called “Notella” Cookies).
From that point on, I was hooked on making my own keto chocolate hazelnut spread and using it in other recipes. Really, I was putting it into anything I could think of… Keto Nutella Cheesecake Ice Cream! Keto Hazelnut Cream Cake! Keto Nutella Truffles! Keto Nutella Swirl Bread! The list goes on. And on and on and on.
And you have to give the No Bake Nutella Cheesecakes a try. A must for chocolate hazelnut lovers.
The funny part is that I didn’t think to actually publish the Keto Nutella recipe by itself until 2015. I just kept making it part of each individual recipe.
Because sometimes I catch on slowly, and I finally realized that I need to make the Homemade Sugar-Free Nutella recipe a stand alone post so that I could refer to it and not have to type out the ingredients over and over and over again. Because let me be frank, I intend to keep making recipes with my homemade Nutella. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
Homemade Nutella is a family favorite!
I really do love this stuff, and so does my family. Love is probably an understatement. I make batches and batches of it and it somehow disappears faster than I can keep up with.
We put it on everything…my keto pancakes, my almond flour crepes, keto vanilla ice cream, keto muffins, you name it. And I am not above just spooning it into my mouth straight from the jar.
I buy the pre-roasted, unsalted hazelnuts from Trader Joe’s by the dozen and I make a jar or two every week but it never lasts. If I want to make a recipe with it, I have to hide it from my kids. It’s truly that delectable.
Tips for making sugar-free Nutella
A really good high powered blender or food processor is crucial here, to get your chocolate hazelnut spread as smooth as possible. But beyond that, the process is very simple.
I make this so often, I don’t even really measure anything anymore. I dump my hazelnuts into the blender and grind them up until the blender can’t get them any finer. Then I add a little oil and blend them until they liquify.
Only at that point do I add the cocoa powder and the sweetener. I’ve found that if you add those too early, it won’t grind up properly and become a smooth butter.
I have made one change to the recipe recently, and it’s a change for the better, in my opinion. Because my Blendtec blender is so powerful, it makes this sugar-free Nutella pretty goopy. It blends it so smoothly that it’s quite runny at room temperature. I found that by changing the oil to melted coconut oil, it firms up nicely when refrigerated and is a little less goopy at room temperature.
If you use a refined coconut oil, the coconut flavor won’t overpower the hazelnuts. But you can really still use any oil here. Hazelnut oil is great, and so is avocado. Even melted butter or ghee works.
So grab a bag of hazelnuts and let’s get grinding!
- 3/4 cup hazelnuts toasted and husked**
- 2 to 3 tbsp melted coconut oil can sub avocado oil
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
-
In a food processor or high powered blender, grind hazelnuts until finely ground and beginning to clump together.
-
Add 2 tablespoons oil and continue to grind until nuts smooth out into a butter. Add remaining ingredients and blend until well combined. If the mixture is very thick, add an additional tablespoon oil.
** To toast and husk hazelnuts, simply spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Then rub the hazelnuts with your fingers (after they cool a bit!) to take of most of the husk. Some of it will not come off and that's okay, just grind it all up. If you live near Trader Joe's, consider purchasing their already roasted hazelnuts...makes your life even that much easier!
Angela Curry says
Does it need to be kept refrigerated? Also, does it freeze well if I made a big batch?
Carolyn says
Yes to refrigeration and it lasts for a few weeks so I don’t think you’d have any need to freeze it. I’ve never tried to freeze mine so I can’t say how it would fare.
Natalie says
Is the serving size a tablespoon or 2? Thanks!Btw this recipe turned out amazing tastes like the real thing!
Carolyn says
It’s 2 tbsp. My serving sizes disappeared when I updated my plug-in. Working on addressing that!
Tammy Coughlin says
Would it change anything to sub out Monkfruit for Swerve?
Carolyn says
As long as it’s powdered. And if you mean Lakanto, then I believe theirs is 2x as sweet so you’d only want half.
Alice Jacoby says
Hi,I LOVE all your recipes ,I was wondering if I can use hazelnut flour instead of whole nuts that I grind ?
Carolyn says
Yes, probably. But it’s not toasted, so I might try toasting it in the oven to bring out the hazelnut flavour. I don’t know how long you would do it but watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn.
Pug says
For toasting hazelnut flour, I’ve done it before by putting it in a frypan on the stove (no oil, just dry) and dry-frying it a bit at a time– that way you don’t run the risk of leaving it a touch too long and burning it all and you can see and smell when it gets to the right level of toasty. It doesn’t take long at all!
nancy says
please advise the qty of hazlenut flour to use in this recipe, not sure how much 3/4 cup og whole hazlenuts give once ground.
many thanks
Carolyn says
You can just do the 3/4 cup. It’s not exact but it doesn’t really need to be. It’s rather forgiving.
Brad says
You could weigh ¾ cup of whole hazelnuts, and use that equivalent weight of hazelnut flour.
Christa Thompson says
If I cannot find whole could I just toast hazelnut pieces and use?
Carolyn says
I can’t see why not!
Suzanne says
Soak the organic hazelnuts in pure water (no fluoride or chlorine) for 6-8 hours. Then toast at the lowest temperature of your oven for another 6-8 hours. I do mine overnight. I like my nuts really crunchy. If you do, you can toast them even longer. You decide. You can do this with any nuts, and I do. This is a WestonAPrice.org recipe.
Brenda Jean Craig says
Carolyn,
Have you ever tried this with Macadamia Nuts…have some and love them. Thanks Brenda
Carolyn says
I have made mac butter, although not with cocoa powder. You will probably need to cut back on the added oil because macs are so oily as it is.
Malainie says
Looks wonderful! Trader Joe’s now carries Hazelnut Butter. Do the ground hazelnuts end up being the same measurement as the whole ones you put into the food processor?
Alice Jacoby says
Is that three quarters of a cup of whole hazelnuts or three quarters of a cup of ground up hazelnuts
Linda says
love your recipes. my fave way to save them is with mastercook. its a recipe program with a icon on the menu bar on my internet bookmarks bar. i click it saves to my mastercook cookbook of my choice and to the mastercook online trending recipes. mastercook.com if you want to check it out. love this program. does nutrition automatically, menu planning, searches. great stuff.
Linda
Katrina says
Do you pay for a monthly service. Were you able to get this for free?
Nora Nora says
The link for the “No Bake Nutella Energy Bars” leads to the recipe for the nutella cheesecake. Just thought you’d want to know.
Carolyn says
Thanks for the heads up! Will change that now.
Cat says
Hi Carolyn
i’m so excited to try this with your crepe recipe. I’ve never used or bought nut oils before. Do you have a preferred nut oil for your nutella recipe that you would recommend?
Thanks so much
Carolyn says
Hazelnut oil gives it the best flavour but if I don’t have that, I use avocado oil.
Barbara B says
This came out uber thick and a bit grainy. I did it in my Cusinart mini prep food processor and have made nut butters in it before with good results. Transferred it to my Cusinart Immersion blender with attachment. I did add a bit more oil and additional vanilla. I was wondering if it is the brand of cocoa powder and maybe I shouldn’t have used as much. I used Rademaker Dutch Process unsweetened. Always had good results with it for baking and such. What cocoa powder do you generally use ? I guess I was expecting something creamier. Any ideas ?
Carolyn says
Hmmm, not really sure here. I often use Hershey’s Dark when I make this recipes. I did once have it clump up and no amount of oil could thin it back out again, and that was with a different brand of cocoa (I can’t remember which one). But it only happened the one time and i’ve made this a lot. Not sure if that helps!
Janet says
Maybe she used regular swerve, not powdered? It’s in most stores now, but the powdered swerve isn’t.
Amy Koebel says
Mine was the same. I just added more coconut oil and problem solved. Yummy!
Denise S. says
Hazelnuts toasted and husked is a necessity, I learned the hard way yesterday. Today I did it all over again and this time it turned out exactly like your picture. Nice and smooth and spreadable.
Gillian says
Where can u find hazelnuts and their oil
Carolyn says
Both are available at many grocery stores. I know Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s carry them. If you can’t find the oil, replace it with avocado or olive oil.
Gillian says
Thank you
Gillian says
Ok, mine is just grainy, and dry. Not butter at all… What happened? I have a picture if u want to see it
Haleigh says
I would add more oil.
Wendy says
So is swerve a safer alternative like stevia?
Carolyn says
Yes.
Annie says
How do you husk hazelnuts ?
Carolyn says
It’s easy. Watch this: https://www.facebook.com/AllDayIDreamAboutFood/videos/1218491554844898/
Katharina Glaser says
An easier way to husk the hazelnuts is to put them all in a clean kitchen towel after toasting and rube them against each other in the towel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtEu18xA7g0
Or shake them in a strainer. http://www.daserste.de/unterhaltung/quiz-show/wer-weiss-denn-sowas/videos/wer-weiss-denn-sowas-folge-180-gehaeutete-haselnuesse-video-100.html
The videos are in German but they show the process.
Carolyn says
I’ve never tried the strainer trick but the towel trick has not worked well for me.
Carlene says
Maybe I am an idiot, but I can’t figure out the calories for 2 tablespoons. Is it 158? What does the “k” mean? Love the recipe and your site.
Carolyn says
kcal is just another formal way of writing calories. So yes, it is 158 per serving and a serving is 2 tbsp.
mat says
Can you use almond butter instead of nut oil?
Carolyn says
I think that would make it too thick. You need some sort of thin oil here.
Natalie says
Because there are not enough oils in the nuts to make a psste. And food processors cant grind them fine enough also.
Cynthia says
Why do you need to add the oil when nuts have oil naturally.
Linda Popovich says
Oh, my gosh, mine turned out chalky. I have five pounds of hazelnuts to process for Christmas gifts. What am I gonna do??!! I made my first batch of 2 cups and it is really not satisfactory? Any suggestions?
Carolyn says
What kind of cocoa powder and what kind of sweetener are you using? One of the real tricks here is to grind the hazelnuts on their own for a bit before you add other things. If you try to add them all at once, it clumps up. Are you using a food processor?
Linda Popovich says
I am using a Vitamix and I did grind the nuts quite a bit, first. I actually think I figured out that my oven is a lot hotter than I realized and I toasted the nuts a little too long. They were very dry when they came out of the oven. I don’t know what made me think that the recipe would magically change this. I am going to try, again, and watch the toasting process more carefully. Thanks.
Carolyn says
My other tip would be to grind in small batches. Even my really good Blendtec gets overloaded. Don’t to more than 1 cup of nuts at a time. Make that into Nutella and then work on the next batch. I pour it all into one big bowl and then fill the jars after that.
Bill says
Hi again,
I wanted to try the Braid Tues. because I was intrigued by the dough. I made the spread using a cup of the hazelnuts and 4T of walnut oil so I would have enough for two batches. The spread was very “liquidie” so I refrigerated it overnight. That helped but it was still too loose to actually roll up. When I tried it was just pushed along, so I ended up rolling from both ends which created a sort of pool in the middle that I captured by turning up each end to seal. It baked up ok and is more than edible, but not what I was after obviously. I have never bought real Nutella so I have no idea what the texture should be like, but I imagined it would be like a warm peanut butter. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thx
Carolyn says
The homemade Nutella does tend to be liquid-y, especially if you have a really good, strong blender. Mine always is and for this braid, I spread it pretty thinly so I don’t have issued with it pooling. But if you are having that problem, try whisking in another tbsp or so of cocoa powder to the nutella to help thicken it. If you need to add a little more sweetener to offset the bitterness of the cocoa, you can do that too.
Bill says
I will try all of the above and maybe just drizzle the oil to make so to speak. I can’t see any real downside to a lesser amount of oil, can you?
Carolyn says
No, except it can be really hard to get out of the blender if it’s thick.
Bill says
I had one more thought that may have added to my problem. Not having made this dough b4 I was not certain just how mixed together the melted butter and cheese needed to be. I kept in on the heat long enough to be fully combined but also long enough to get some sticking to pan (not a good thing particularly). I never did get the dough to 12X15, so I’m thinking that perhaps my technique yielded a stiffer dough and thereby a smaller surface on which to put the same 1/2 c of spread, and thus pooling. Any thoughts on that possibility?
thx,
Carolyn says
Basically, the cheese should be super melted and mixing with the butter but not really sticking to the pan. That may have played a part, too. Also keep in mind that some stoves are hotter than others. I have a gas stove and I have a heck of a time with electric because the heat is harder to control. With gas, you can reduce the flame and increase it, according to how quickly things are cooking. Once your cheese is melty, maybe turn off your element and keep stirring for a bit.
Bill says
Yes I know the tribulations with electric; short of inducton I wouldn’t have it. I think I just took it a tad too far which would have dried it out some.
Thanks again for your responsiveness.
BILL
Carolyn says
Gas all the way! 😉
Tamera Alexander says
Why did I wait so long to make this!!??? DELICIOUS! So appreciate you, Carolyn, and all the work you do to gift these recipes to us. I’ve already pre-ordered your new cookbook. Cannot wait to dive into those recipes. #grateful
Jennifer Blake says
This post came to me at the perfect time. I was just reading another recipe that included Nutella and I wondered if it could easily be made rather than purchased. And with this healthier version, BONUS!
allison says
We love this! I make a triple batch often. Comes out perfect every time!
Kate says
This video is the first time I’ve seen the whole you – you look and sound great! You definitely should have your own cooking show. With about half of Americans with diabetes and prediabetes, it certainly would be popular. Being prediabetic yourself gives you “street cred” too.
Carolyn says
Thanks, Kate. I actually have two other of these videos posted… Sheet Pan Chicken and Pepper Jack Cauliflower! I plan on doing more too.
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
Going to spread this on EVERYTHING!
Jennifer Farley says
This is my dream come true!
Linda says
I thought I’d share a tip that I prefer when working with hazelnuts. There’s another way to skin hazelnuts. You bring a pot of water to boiling. Add 2 tablespoons baking soda and the hazelnuts. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour into a colander. Run cold water over them to cool them off. The original instructions say that you have to skin each nut individually, but that’s not true. You can rub the nuts together under running water and the skins easily peel off. The advantage of this method is that all of the skin is removed. The disadvantage is that you have to toast them separately, if you want toasted nuts. If you’re not using them right away, be sure to let them air dry before storing them or they’ll get moldy.
And, thanks for the recipe. Sugar-free nutella is a win!
Wendy Bussell says
I am very excited to have this recipe! Thank you for sharing. I was wondering though if stevia would be a good sub for the swerve?
Carolyn says
You can really use whatever sweetener you like here.
Cookin Canuck says
This is brilliant! You can’t beat Nutella…and now to have a low carb version!
Koshie says
Hey, Carolyn — I always check the math, and without starting from scratch and looking up the nutrition values, I can tell immediately that at least some of your nutrition values here aren’t right. For one thing, total calories are less than fat calories! And if you do the math (multiplying fat grams by 9), the fat calories reported in your nutrition data are correct — but then there appears to be no accounting for carb and protein calories.
But I can’t say just that, I have to add “Thank You” for the blogs and joy you spread!
Carolyn says
Hi Koshie, I’ve been having a LOT of trouble with my website lately and it seems to stem from my recipe plug-in. I have people working on it but no one has quite been able to identify the issue. I don’t even know why “calories from fat” is showing up because on the back end, there’s no data entered in there! The other numbers appear to be correct so I think it’s calculating the total calories incorrectly. I am going to have to investigate this further. Thanks!
Angela Roberts says
BrAVO. Just the other day we were talking about making a healthy nutella. Can’t wait to try.
Nicolas Dulion says
There is nothing better than homemade nutella !
Love your recipe, thanks.
Brenda says
Hi
Can be frozen and sent by mail?
Carolyn says
I’ve sent it in the mail but I never bothered to freeze it first.
Diana Lopes says
Sugar-free nutella? Oh man, I can’t wait to try it myself, must be delicious!! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Dawn says
I couldn’t find them at our Trader Joes. I did find roasted hazelnuts on nuts.com. I understand that you don’t have to get all of the husks off, but I am having a hard time getting much of the husks off at all. Any other tips?
Carolyn says
If they are already roasted then there probably isn’t much you can do. Try grinding them up!
Lizbeth says
I seem to have mended a lot more oil. I forgot to dehusk as a result a slightly bitter taste not sure why I needed extra oil though. I’ll try again as this was my first try thanks for all the sweet low carb recipes I use Vitafibre so always on the look out for protein powder and Vitafibre recipes to help me stick to diet and stop me eating high carb versions.
Carolyn says
The husks could easily be why you needed extra oil, since they add a dryness to the whole thing.
Jennifer Blake says
So simple! We love hazelnut spread in our house!
Katie | Healthy Seasonal Recipes says
I never buy Nutella because it is so sugary, now I still don’t have to and I can indulge to my hearts desire! Thanks for the great recipe and cool back-story too. You’re OG girl!
Jennifer Farley says
This is exactly what I need!
Jos says
Sorry I left my comment on the wrong post!
What’s your Blendtec capacity? I have 9 cup food processor (Cuisinart). Would it be too big to make this recipe? Thanks!
Bita Shakoory says
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I made mine exactly as you did, but noted that the coconut flavor from the coconut oil really dominates the taste and does not allow the spread to taste much like hazelnut. I also noted that the amount of powdered erythritol used here was not as sweet as the real thing (which I understand is the challenge we face when we want to make something commercially made). I turned my batch into tea cookies.
So next time I will use hazelnut or avocado oil and will make it a bit sweeter.
If (just if) you decide to replace this video with another updated one, may I suggest doing one of those fast videos with ingredient name written? Many Thanks
Gretchen says
I had the same result as you — the coconut oil was just wayy too strong. It didn’t taste like Nutella at all or even very pleasant. I want to try with another oil as well. Did you get any better results with hazelnut oil or avocado oil?
Carolyn says
I wonder what kind of coconut oil you are using because I can barely taste it in mine. I have used Avocado oil many times and it’s great but it’s goopier.
Gretchen says
Thanks, Carolyn! Good point that it may be the coconut oil…we buy it in bulk and it’s not high quality. I bought some good hazelnut oil and just tried again a few minutes ago, and it’s REALLY good!! If I do it again with coconut, I’ll get a higher quality, but I’m happy with the hazelnut oil results!
Carolyn says
I like it with hazelnut oil or avocado oil too but it gets really drippy!
Sonya says
What kind of coco powder and vanilla do you ya? I didn’t see any links for either!
Carolyn says
Well it sort of depends on what’s on sale sometimes! But I love Rodelle for both cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
Glenice says
I have used clarified butter (or butter, I just always have clarified butter on hand) just a bit which gives it the perfect consistency once refrigerated. Cocao butter does the same and is another option. Oils don’t solidify in the fridge (except coconut oil, but I don’t want my nutella tasting of coconuts) so I find butters a better option.
Huma says
is it unsweetened cocoa powder? Thanks
Carolyn says
I’ve never seen sweetened cocoa powder. yes it’s always unsweetened.
CHRIS says
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU HOST A “FOOD NETWORK” TYPE SHOW FOR LOWCARB/GF/KETO I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE ON SCREEN… AND ALL YOUR RECIPES!!!!
Carolyn says
Thanks so much, Chris.
Maxie says
Just thought I’d share a variation I think people might enjoy. I used hazelnut oil instead of coconut, in order to keep it in more of a liquid state, then I added heavy cream powder (hard to find in stores but Amazon has it) to give it a bit more of a milk chocolate taste. I experimented and found I liked a proportion of one half teaspoon powder to 1 tablespoon pseudtella, but of course everyone is different. I found more than this detracts too much from the hazelnut flavor but I may try adding extract to see how that turns out. I doubt this would work with coconut oil since the powder thickens the mixture more.
Carolyn says
Sounds good!
Rachael Yerkes says
Oh no! A healthy Nutella??? I will eat this so fast! It’s perfect!
Allyson Zea says
Sugar-free?! This sounds like a dream come true! I can’t wait to try it!
Lori says
I have always loved this recipe of yours!
Sandy says
This recipe is great. Love it with less sugar!!
Erin | Dinners,Dishes and Dessert says
I’m going to have to try this. This looks incredibly delicious!
Baz says
Looks delicious! How long is this good for in the fridge? Thanks
Carolyn says
FOREVER! Okay, not quite but since there is nothing here that will go bad, it can last months.
Katrina says
After looking at this recipe for a YEAR, we made it today for an after school snack. Kids ate it on apples and licked to bowls clean! Thanks!
Carolyn says
What took you so long??? 😉
Kari says
Hi there! I have a premade butter called NutiLight. How much of that would I use? It’s a low carb hazelnut spread.
Carolyn says
How much of it would you use in what? This is my own version but you wouldn’t add the jarred store-bought version to this. Did you mean to ask this on another recipe?
QB941 says
Hi, just made it yesterday and the hazelnuts really smelled nice. However, the cacao you recommended is kinda bitter and didn’t taste at all like the one in the Nutella product. Do you have any alternatives? I don’t have any problem if I need to use sweetened cocoa etc.
Thanks!
QB
Carolyn says
You can use whatever cocoa powder you like best
Martine Dubois says
HI! I got so excited when I discovered your Sugar-Free Nutella recipe (via reading your No-Bake Nutella Energy bars recipe). I can’t wait to give it a try.
I do have one question: since I don’t have a high powered blender or food processor, could I use an all-natural hazelnut butter from “Nuts to You nut butter inc.” and then mix everything with a hand mixer?
Carolyn says
I guess that would work. It may thicken your butter a bit too much so you may need to add more oil.
Martine Dubois says
I did it, and as you mentioned, I needed to add oil, but it worked! Thank you! 🙂
Ayse Koymen says
Thanks for this recipe. However my Nutella got really hard when I put it into refrigerator. Can I just keep it on the shelf rather than putting it in the fridge? Thank you
Carolyn says
Sure but I wouldn’t keep it out too long. It’s supposed to go hard in the fridge and it softens within 5 minutes on the counter.
Claudia says
Even though this recipe has been on your site for years AND it’s in two of your cookbooks, I only now made it for the first time. Probably because I knew it would be AMAZING, which can be a bit of a dangerous thing because I grew up eating Nutella and it’s one of my all-time favourite foods. EVER.
Well, today I put my Blendtec Twister Jar to good use. It’s kind of embarrassing, but I immediately ate several big spoonfuls right away. So GOOD!! Then I put some cream and freshly-brewed coffee in the blender jar, switched to the other lid, and made myself some Nutella coffee.
Thank you, you’ve made my day!!!!!!
Carolyn says
Welcome to my world! 😉
Claudia says
I just made yet another batch and forgot to mention something: I use a Twister Jar, just like yours, and find I don’t have to melt the coconut oil. The Blendtec takes care of it 🙂
Carolyn says
Ah, an even easier method. Excellent!
Maria Mateus says
Hi there, can I use other type of nuts? Almonds? Or cashews?
Carolyn says
Sure!
Kathi Ondanet says
I used almonds – it’s a little less bitter and tastes fabulous!!!
Ioana Didac says
This was so easy to make and it’s incredibly good. My Ninja professional blender wasn’t able though to grind the nuts to a smooth paste, I wonder if I would have waited more they would have gotten there. Nevertheless, it’s flavorful and yummy and chocolatey and I love it. I have to stop myself from going to the fridge and getting the jar out to have a spoon of it, just like that.
Thank you for sharing!
Carolyn says
It is hard to get it smooth without a high powered blender!
Kathi Ondanet says
I just made this with Almond butter in place of the hazelnuts and oil. It’s a little less bitter, and I don’t have to do anything except mix the ingredients together to make it.
Carolyn says
I don’t know what kind of hazelnuts you are purchasing but I NEVER find them bitter. On the contrary… You may want to look into a different brand.
