Thanks to increased marketing in the past decade, it\u2019s gained popularity in the US too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalfloss.com\/article\/72594\/25-delicious-facts-about-nutella\">According to Mental Floss<\/a>, someone buys a jar of Nutella every 2.5 seconds somewhere in the world! That\u2019s a lot of chocolatey goodness. And what\u2019s not to love, right?<\/p>\n<p>A lot, actually! This delicious hazelnut spread\u00a0contains a LOT of sugar and some of the ingredients are questionable at best. While store-bought Nutella is often thought of as a healthy snack, I\u2019d lump it in with donuts and chocolate bars\u00a0due to its high sugar content. And in 2012 Ferrero (who makes Nutella) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalfloss.com\/article\/72594\/25-delicious-facts-about-nutella\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">settled a lawsuit<\/a> for deceptively marketing it as a health food.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-healthy-homemade-nutella-recipe\">A Healthy, Homemade Nutella Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>When I introduced this nostalgic treat to my children several years ago (before researching the ingredients) they loved it. So I was sad it\u2019s not a yummy treat they could enjoy often\u00a0(six kids + that much sugar = not fun). Even though it has some beneficial ingredients (hazelnuts and dark chocolate) hidden under all that sugar!<\/p>\n<p>So of course I set out to try and recreate a healthy, homemade version!<\/p>\n<p>This homemade \u201cno-tella\u201d option is great if you\u2019re really trying to limit carbs\/sugar. Some recipes call for melted chocolate, granulated sugar, or coconut sugar to sweeten. This version uses maple syrup for a refined sugar free version. Honey will also work here. The liquid sweetener helps make it creamier.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recipe-edits\">Recipe Edits<\/h3>\n<p>The downside to this homemade version? It isn\u2019t as creamy as the \u201creal\u201d thing from the grocery store and is more the consistency of almond butter or natural peanut butter. If you want a natural option that\u2019s better than the original, I recommend this one. It\u2019s nutty, spreadable, and skips the granulated sugar, palm oil, and other additives.<\/p>\n<p>I originally used room temperature coconut oil in this recipe but water seems to work better. It does decrease the shelf life somewhat, but that\u2019s not been a problem at our house. My kids eat it up fast enough I don\u2019t have to worry!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-homemade-no-tella-chocolate-hazelnut-spread\">Homemade \u201cNo-tella\u201d Chocolate Hazelnut Spread<\/h3>\n<p>This is my take on Nutella. It\u2019s homemade, is made with real food ingredients, and is\u00a0dairy-free and vegan. I\u2019ve used this spread to make brownies, buttercream for cupcakes, cake fillings, breads, cookies, and more. It\u2019s as versatile as it is delicious.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-remove-the-hazelnut-skins\">How to Remove the Hazelnut Skins<\/h3>\n<p>Homemade Nutella tastes better when it\u2019s made without the papery nut skins. You don\u2019t have to meticulously sit there with a peeler though! There are a few different ways to remove them. I use the jar method and put freshly roasted hazelnuts in a jar, shake, and then pick out the nuts.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to use a kitchen towel. Simply place the roasted hazelnuts on a towel, fold it over, and rub them together.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-203234\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"203234\" data-servings=\"16\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-wm\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-intro\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150\" alt=\"Homemade_Nutella\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade_Nutella_4-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade_Nutella_4-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" src=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/nutella-recipe\/?tp_image_id=494046\"\/><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Homemade Nutella Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" style=\"display:block;width:0px;height:0px\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-33\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"33%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"33%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-50\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"50%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"50%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><defs><lineargradient id=\"wprm-recipe-user-rating-0-66\"><stop offset=\"0%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"66%\" stop-opacity=\"1\"\/><stop offset=\"66%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><stop offset=\"100%\" stop-opacity=\"0\"\/><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><\/p>\n<p>A delicious chocolate hazelnut spread recipe with simple ingredients, much less sugar, and higher in protein than the leading brand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-body\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions-container wprm-recipe-203234-instructions-container wprm-block-text-normal\" data-recipe=\"203234\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-203234-step-0-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0 F.

Here are a few ways<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Healthier Hazelnut Spread Option<\/h2>\n<p>Confession: I don\u2019t make this recipe as much since discovering an even better pre-made version. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nutiva-Sustainably-Gluten-Free-Plant-Based-Superfood\/dp\/B01EUZV5JA?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=wellnessmama-20&amp;linkId=a1391ef7b8eb464e4db07b58983af35b&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">get it here<\/a>. I\u2019m all for taking the DIY route whenever possible, but in this case, pre-made is a good choice in several ways:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Less sugar<\/strong>: It has 40% less sugar than other options. The name brand has 21 grams of sugar per 2 tablespoons, while Nutiva has only 12 grams.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ethically sourced<\/strong>: Most hazelnut spreads use palm oil, which can be problematic if not ethically sourced. All of the ingredients in the Nutiva brand, including palm oil, are ethically sourced (rainforest and animal-friendly).<\/li>\n<li><strong>More nutritious<\/strong>: Unlike other brands, this one contains 450 milligrams of omega-3s per serving from chia and flax! (That\u2019s more than sardines and tuna contain per serving. My kids certainly prefer the chocolate option!)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Organic, non-GMO verified,\u00a0and certified gluten-free<\/strong>: Other brands aren\u2019t organic or have GMO ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Are you a fan of chocolate hazelnut spread?
