Homemade Sugar-free Nutella (Low-Carb & Vegan)

18 Tbsp
20 min

A smooth and creamy homemade Sugar-free Nutella made with raw cacao powder and sweetened with stevia. With the natural oils of roasted hazelnuts and no added oil or sugar, this healthy Nutella makes the perfect low carb spread. Vegan too!


Let’s be honest, I think most of us are Nutella fans here and can probably finish spoonfuls of it straight out of the jar!


Well I for sure am, but after realizing - a while ago - that it’s got so so much sugar in there, I just stopped.


At this point I don’t even remember the last time I had the OG Nutella.


Well the cravings never die, so I decided to just make my own healthy version of that chocolate hazelnut spread without any of the sugar.


Roommate-tested recipe here, so it was definitely on point!

  • 2 cups Hazelnuts, 270g
  • 2 Tbsp Cacao Powder or Unsweetened Cocoa
  • ¾ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Stevia Sweetener, 1 Tbsp sugar worth (Use your brand's Conversion Chart)
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Place hazelnuts on a large baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
Bake for about 10 minutes, shaking half way.
Wrap nuts in paper towels and rub vigorously to remove as many lose skins as possible - this makes it more creamy.
Let cool slightly until warm, 5-7 minutes.
Transfer to a food processor or high-speed blender and process until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if necessary. Takes about 3-4 minutes
If mixture gets too hot, stop processing and allow to cool for a bit before continuing.
Add cacao powder, vanilla and stevia sweetener, and process again until combined.

    Instead of stevia can we use anything else

      Hi Anna,


      You can use the Sugar equivalent, which is 1 tablespoon of sugar or any other sweetener of your choice.


      Let me know if you try it out or have any other questions!
