I know some of you follow my rants for healthy eating and today I want to give you a treat. I was searching on you tube and found this recipe. I made it this morning and it's really good!
It's a take on the children's favorite chocolaty-peanut butter like spread Nutella. It's extremely simple with only 4 ingredients. Except for roasting the hazelnuts for 10 minutes, letting them cool overnight and peeling off the hazelnut skins (aka: The Prep Work) it only takes a few minutes to make this. You'll be licking the spoon in no time and without any reason for guilt.
Why no guilt? The Hazelnuts provide some protein and healthy fats, Coconut oil provides healthy fats, organic cocoa powder provides antioxidants and stevia extract powder is a natural plant extract that is naturally sweet but doesn't have any of the harmful effects of sugar. This recipe seems to be a great sweet treat without any of the downsides. Just remember: your body needs healthy fats to thrive, but fats have twice the calories of carbs and protein. So don't eat the bowl. But as long as you're active - enjoy as a sweet chocolaty treat whenever.
So, get your sweet tooth and taste buds ready, here's comes chocolaty awesomeness:
Primal Nutella
1 pound of Roasted and peeled hazelnuts
2 teaspoons of Organic cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of Stevia extract powder
2 teaspoons of Coconut oil (best is cold pressed extra virgin)
Directions:
1. Lay 1 pound of hazelnuts on a baking sheet (with small sides so they don’t roll off) and bake on 350 for 5-7 minutes. Place on counter and let cool for a few hours or overnight.
2. In the morning, peel skins off roasted hazelnuts and put clean hazelnuts in a bowl, use the skins for compost or just discard.
3. Pour hazelnuts into vitamix or cuisinart and grind them until they start to have the consistency of a cookie dough or like clumpy peanut butter. (in the vitamix you can just grind it into a peanut butter consistency
4. Add 2 teaspoons of coconut oil a little at a time.
5. Add 3 teaspoons of organic cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of stevia powder
6. Continue to blend it until it’s smooth and creamy. (If you’ve used a vita mix the Nutella will be hot and thin. Just let it cool to room temperature. But in the mean time, feel free to lick the spoon, the bowl, the vita mix container, etc…)
7. Pour into a container, let cool and ENJOY!!!

Great recipe! I'm going to give it a try. However, I'd soak the nuts first to break down the anti-nutrients.
Thanks Sandy, yes that's a great idea and something I didn't think about. When I made this recipe, originally I roasted the Hazelnuts too long and it had a bit of a roasted peanut butter taste and feel. I would probably roast the hazelnuts for 5-6, maybe 7 minutes instead and leave everything else the same... Let me know how it comes out...
