Vegan-Nutella-1-Wb

 2 cups hazelnuts, roasted
 ⅓ cup coconut sugar
 3 tablespoons cacao powder
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 ⅛ teaspoon salt
1

For unroasted hazelnuts, roast the hazelnuts at 350°F for 10 minutes. (Don't over roast them, as that will change the taste of the spread.)

2

Let the nuts cool to touch. Using a kitchen towel, gently rub the nuts to remove the skin.

3

Place the nuts in a Vitamix and blend until smooth, scraping the sides of blender jar occasionally. Be patient as it takes a few minutes, but you will soon see the butter.

4

Add coconut sugar, cacao, vanilla, and salt. Blend again until the ingredients are well-incorporated and smooth.

5

Enjoy the spread with your oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, toast or fresh fruit. The possibilities are endless!
