2-Ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella with roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate. Made with just 2-ingredients! Try serving with apple chips!

Hi guys!

Since we last chatted I taught a 60-minute yoga class to my yoga teacher training group and finished a 6-hour YTT final exam.

I definitely clutched my sequence paper a little too tightly while teaching and scratched my head at a few questions on the final, but guys, I DID IT.

I passed. Whew.

My graduation is in two weeks and then I will officially be certified.

So this week has been all about rest and recovery, and getting my life together off the mat.

I’ve been looking for excuses to treat myself, because that sh** was hard!

Enter 2-ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella.

It comes together in less than 30 minutes for a sweet nutty spread that is totally oil-free and refined sugar-free!

Make Healthy Nutella

To be honest, I can probably count on my (one) hand the number of times that I had Nutella in my life.

Did you have a jar in your pantry during childhood?

My parents never bought the stuff, but I remember having it at friend’s houses and thinking— what is this chocolate-y goodness?!

It was always a little too sweet and stiff for my liking, though.

How about we upgrade this spread to be lower in sugar and high in nutty protein and healthy fats?

What You Need to Make 2-Ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella

To make this 2-ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella, you only need 2 ingredients (duh!).

Here’s the big DUO:

Raw hazelnuts
Dark chocolate

That’s it!

Mic drop.

How to Roast Hazelnuts

The first step is to roast the hazelnuts.

If you’re in a hurry or would like to make this recipe raw vegan, you can skip this step.

However, I highly I recommend roasting.

Roasted hazelnuts are more flavorful with a richer smoother tasting profile.

If you’ve never toasted hazelnuts before, you’re in for a treat, because it makes tour house smell fantastic.

Roasting them in the oven also allows for easier removal of the bitter skins.

I like to do this by wrapping the roasted nuts in a clean kitchen towel and roughly rolling them.

It works magic— all of the skins stick to the towel leaving creamy shell-less hazelnut behind.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella

Collect your naked nuts and add them to the blender for making hazelnut butter.

You’re going to want to grab a high speed blender or food processor for this one.

Roasting the hazelnuts also makes the hazelnuts easier to blend into Nutella.

You shouldn’t have any trouble blending them into a smooth hazelnut butter in 1-2 minutes.

I used a Vitamix to blend mine and it took less than 60 seconds!

At this point, I highly recommend trying a spoonful.

(You can stop here if you decide you just want roasted hazelnut butter!)

If you want to level up, let’s continue.

How to Add the Chocolate

Once the hazelnut butter is blended, let’s add in the chocolate.

When choosing chocolate, I prefer to use a dark chocolate, at least 70% higher or above.

The darker the chocolate, the less sweet it will be, so choose a percentage that will compliment your Nutella.

I think somewhere between 70-85% cacao is the sweet spot for the best Nutella that is mildly sweet And chocolate-y but not bitter!

If possible, find one that is vegan and refined sugar-free to keep this Nutella good for-you!

I used a chocolate bar for mine, but you could also use chocolate chips.

Melt your dark chocolate on the stovetop over medium-low heat, careful not to burn it.

Dip with Apple Chips

Once it’s fully melted, transfer the hazelnut butter and melted chocolate to a large glass mixing bowl and stir together with a spatula.

At this point, your mixture should be chocolate-y and fragrant and quite runny.

This is OK, because the Nutella will set up after left at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Transfer the mixture to glass jars and let it sit for 6-8 hours to firm up into a spreadable chocolate hazelnut dip.

If you’ve made my dips before, you know I love to pair it with a clean dipping partner.

Try pairing this 2-ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella with Bare Snacks Apple Chips!

I used the Fuji & Reds chips to dip in mine, made with baked red delicious and fuji apple.

These chips are a fantastic dip choice because they’re just 1-ingredient- apples!

Apples + hazelnuts + dark chocolate = happiness.

How to Serve 2-Ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella

This 2-ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella is the perfect dip to have on hand for any day snacking and spreading.

It keeps for several weeks, so I personally think you should always have a jar on hand.

Store 2-ingredient Roasted Hazelnut Nutella in the fridge for a firmer nut butter or keep it at room temperature for a more fluid spread.

This dip is perfect for kids, adults, and everyone in between.

Try spreading it on toast, rice cakes, in oatmeal, on pancakes, as dip for fruit, and by the spoonful.

Pair it was apple chips for a great after school snack for kids OR an after work snack for all you “bigger” kids.

Enjoy!
