Vegan nutella
We are many who loves nutella. I can only speak for myself but for me it is a nostalgic thing, I only got to have on special occasions as a child. No more of that. Dryk votes that you should be able to eat nutella every day. That is why I have made this healthier vegan nutella and it is so delicious.
Healthy nutella recipe
Of course we can discuss the word ‘healthy’ when it comes to this nutella. It is not low on calories but it is naturally sweetened with dates, made with a base of hazelnut butter and added oat milk, cocoa and a little salt. Simple and really good. Perfect to smear on freshly baked bread or pancakes, top on oatmeal, dip with apple slices or eat with a spoon. Sometimes the last option is our favorite.
Vegan nutella
Beside the fact that this is a healthier version of nutella, the recipe is also vegan. Without even trying. We have used our Oat Drink as liquids, that in the combination with dates sweetens the nutella naturally. You could also easily use or Oat Cocoa as liquid or just drink a glass while preparing the nutella. It will take around 20 minutes, so you might actually have time for two.
