Quick & Easy Vegan Nutella – with NO oil & NO sugar

As a child, one of my favourite after school snack was a toast or a crepe with a big spoonful of Nutella over a thin layer of butter! Ohlala I can hear you think “As if Nutella did not contain a lot of fat already!”. And you are right, which is why I have made my very own Vegan Nutella, with no oil and no sugar, for a much more nutritious and delicious after work snack 😊.

I have always loved Nutella, the sweet smell of hazelnuts, the silky texture and the chocolate flavour, I loved it all! But this is until I realised that half a jar of Nutella was made of refined sugar, while the other half contains palm oil, powdered milk, and a little bit of cocoa and hazelnuts, not too much though as those last two are costly.

We can skip all the nasty ingredients found in a jar of Nutella by making our own version for a Quick & Easy Vegan Nutella – with NO oil & NO sugar.

Half of my Vegan Nutella is made of hazelnuts! Hazelnuts are full of fibre, vitamins and minerals, and rich in monounsaturated fat contributing to a healthy heart.

To achieve a beautiful and silky Vegan Nutella, place the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until it becomes very fine and slightly sticky before adding all the other ingredients.

In Your Shopping List all you need is:

• Hazelnuts
• Cocoa
• Maple Syrup
• Soya Cream
• Vanilla & Salt

This is a quick & easy recipe for a rich, creamy and silky Vegan Nutella – with NO oil & NO sugar

Optional: I like to add a spoonful of chia seeds to the mix, these tiny little seeds pack a nutritional punch.
