Yes, that’s right! Why would you want to do that? Soy Lecithin (found in Nutella) is actually a controversial ingredient so we are just handing you a healthier alternative that is fun to make. This recipe comes from the kitchen of our lovely “Inter-Generational Inspired Cook.” Thanks, Eve!!
You will need; a food processor, 1 cup of blanched hazelnuts (walnuts or peanuts work too), 1/2 cup of 100% organic dark cacao powder, 1/2 cup local unprocessed honey, 2tbs organic fresh pressed virgin coconut oil, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 pinches of sea salt, 1/4 cup of coconut (almond or skim work too)milk and remember you are aiming for a creamy consistency!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use 1 cup of blanched hazelnuts and toast until slightly brown(15 min.). Let them cool for 5 min. when done.
Add nuts to food processor. Next, add 1/2 cup of cacao powder. Add 1/2 cup of honey(if you spray the cup with non stick cooking oil it will come out easier). Run food processor.
Add 2 pinches of sea salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Run food processor. Lastly, add 1/4 cup of almond milk and 2 tbs coconut oil. Remember that you are aiming for a creamy consistency. so keep an eye on the mixture.This recipe makes over 2 cups and should be stored in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
Those are some pretty cute kiddos in the peanut gallery!
