**Vegan Nutella Recipe Easy Chocolate Spread ElaVegan**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups raw hazelnuts
– 1/3 cup cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup maple syrup
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
**Instructions:**
1. **Roast the Hazelnuts:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast them for about 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Be sure to shake the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting.
2. **Remove the Skins:** Once roasted, transfer the hazelnuts to a clean kitchen towel. Fold the towel over the hazelnuts and rub them together to remove the skins. It’s okay if a few skins remain – they add a bit of flavor and texture.
3. **Blend the Hazelnuts:** Place the peeled hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until they form a smooth, nut butter-like consistency. This process may take a few minutes, so be patient and scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
4. **Add Remaining Ingredients:** Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and melted coconut oil to the hazelnut butter in the food processor. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well mixed.
5. **Adjust Consistency:** If the Nutella is too thick, you can add a little more melted coconut oil or maple syrup to reach your desired spreadable consistency. Blend again until everything is well incorporated.
6. **Enjoy:** Once your Vegan Nutella is ready, transfer it to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!). Spread it on toast, use it as a dip for fruit, or get creative with how you enjoy this delicious chocolate spread!
