My love for Nutella runs deep. There’s just nothing better than smooth, creamy, chocolatey, nutty Nutella! But ever since I started to low-carb/keto, I’ve been missing Nutella and couldn’t find a suitable low-carb/keto replacement on the market.
So that’s why I decided to experiment and just make my own! It was surprisingly easy and although it’s not as smooth as the store-bought kind, the taste though, in my opinion, rivals the original.
To get a smooth texture, you’ll need to run it in the food processor for ten-plus minutes, which is a very long time! So if you don’t mind the grainy texture, you’ll just have to pulse it until it is spreadable!
My favorite way to eat Nutella is with our Keto Crepe, but you can enjoy this homemade Nutella with low-carb/keto bread, pancakes, cheesecake, strawberries or even Chaffles! The choices are really endless and if you want, you can just eat it straight out of the tub!
So to get this party started, all we need to do is throw some husked hazelnuts into a food processor and grind it down until it’s paste like.
After that, we simply add some coconut oil and pulse again until it turns to a butter like consistency.
Finally, we finish off by adding some Cocoa Powder and sweeteners to the mix and pulsing for another 1-2 minutes until you get some homemade low-carb/keto nutella!
For this recipe, you will need a food processor (a blender will not work as it will separate the oils). You will also need Monkfruit, Cocoa Powder and Coconut Oil, all of which can be purchased on Amazon.
Now, let’s get cooking!
