My mind has been playing with the possibility of enjoying hazelnut & chocolate (cocoa), without compromising my immune system along with all the other craziness sugar wrecks on my system.
I kept looking at the ingredient list on the Nutella jar:
INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, PALM OIL, HAZELNUTS, COCOA, SKIM MILK, REDUCED MINERALS WHEY (MILK), LECITHIN AS EMULSIFIER (SOY), VANILLIN: AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR.
Ingredients are listed based on the amount used greatest to least. SUGAR is the first ingredient...!!!!!
The second ingredient is Palm Oil...Ehhhhhhh
Ok...then we get to hazelnuts, cocoa, skim milk and some other stuff.
So....I figured cut out the first two, take the yumminess in the middle and leave the stuff at the end.
This was the end result and all 7 of my kids LOVED it!!!!!
Healthy "Nutella"
Ingredients
14 oz Hazelnut Flour ( I used Bob's Red Mill All Natural Hazelnut Meal/Flour, 14 oz)
1 cup Organic Unsweetened Cocoa
1/4 Organic Coconut Oil (I used Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil)
3/4 cup Raw Organic Honey (I typically get mine from our local farmers market)
2 1/2 cup Almond Milk
Directions:
Place first 4 ingredients into food processor and process till combined and somewhat smooth.
While processor is running drizzle in 2 cups of Almond milk, continue to process until well combined and smooth.
Depending on the consistency you are looking for you can add more Almond milk, until the consistency you desire is reached.
Store in containers with air tight lids. Keep refrigerated for 1-2 weeks.
