Do you like Nuttela ?

I love chocolate, the real dark one. My buddy and my kids love white and milky one… and Nuttela…

So when I started to change our food habits, they were quite upset I stopped buying that terrible but so addictive spread.

However, one day I showed them that picture of a Nuttela container, which is mostly filled with white sugar and palm oil… and they all said they didn’t want to eat it ever again !

I love them, so I have been looking for some healthy yummy way to propose them an alternative.

And this one is definitely a very good one 🙂

Only 5 ingredients, no refined sugar, no oil, no bad stuff, just the goodness of wholefood.

Of course you don’t have exactly the same texture and flavor, but it contains so much toasted hazelnuts and good stuff that it turns out better 🙂

Have a go and you might become addicted. After all chocolate is definitely a feel good food and rich in Magnesium 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 1,5 cups roasted hazelnuts (10 min in 180°C fan forced oven)
  • 0,5 cup 75% dark vegan chocolate
  • 0,5 cup coconut milk
  • 0,25 cup apple syrup
  • 0,5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0,25 tsp sea salt

Directions:

  1. Once the toasted hazelnuts have cooled down, finely grind them (if they had skin, remove it before grinding in high speed blender)
  2. Melt your chocolate mixed with the other ingredients (except the hazelnuts). Ensure it does not boil. Let it cool down a little
  3. Add the melted chocolate to the hazelnuts flour and mix it at high speed until you get a smooth and creamy texture.

Enjoy immediately or store in a glass container in your fridge for up to 1 week… if it can last so long 🙂

Do you crave for chocolate sometimes ?
Me, I do, but for the real dark chocolate indulgence !
Brownies are my go to treat on a rainy day or when I want to indulge myself. But I can never eat brownies I haven’t baked 🙂
First, never vegan, often far too sweet, and almost always loaded with saturated fat…
So I had to find the proper brownie recipe to make my own.
After a few trial I came up with this one, which is also gluten free 🙂 and definitely super super yummy.
Easy as it requires only 6 ingredients and is impossible to fail.
