Ingredients
-
2

roasted hazelnuts
peeled -
2
tablespoons
avocado oil -
⅓
cup
cocoa powder -
2
tablespoons
powdered monk fruit
or your preferred keto sweetener -
¼
teaspoon
salt -
½
teaspoon
vanilla extract -
keto-friendly milk (such as almond milk or coconut milk)
optional, as needed for consistency
Instructions
-
Place the roasted, peeled hazelnuts in a food processor or high-powered blender. Process them for a few minutes.
-
Add avocado oil and process until it turns into a smooth nut butter consistency.
This process may take several minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides of the processor occasionally.
-
Once the hazelnuts have reached a smooth butter consistency, add the sweetener, vanilla extract, salt and cocoa powder. Keep blending for a few seconds until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a creamy mixture.
-
Once the sugar free Nutella has reached your desired consistency, transfer it to a jar or airtight container.
Recipe Notes
- Adjust consistency: If the Nutella is too thick or if your food processor didn’t fully blend the hazelnuts, you can add a small amount of keto-friendly milk, such as almond milk or coconut milk, to achieve a smoother consistency. Add the milk gradually, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired texture.
- I recommend using 1 cup of milk max for a creamier and smoother consistency.
- Storage: Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
