Gluten Free Low Calorie Nutella

Better than Nutella....courtesy of http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com
(Makes about 2 cups)
This is a Gluten-Free Recipe.
■2 cups raw hazelnuts (240g)
■1 1/2 T pure vanilla extract
■1/4 cup cocoa powder
■1/4 cup plus 2 T agave or sugar (A sugar-free option is noted in the directions)
■1 packet stevia, or 1 T more agave or sugar
■1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt
■2-3 tsp oil (Can be omitted, but it’ll be a little less smooth.)
■1/2 cup milk of choice (I used Almond Breeze)
Roast hazelnuts for 10-14 minutes at 420 F. Rub them together in a paper towel to get the skins off. (It’s ok if a few stubborn skins won’t come off.) In a food processor, blend the nuts until they’ve turned to butter, then add all other ingredients and blend a long time until it’s smooth like Nutella! (I think I blended off-and-on for a full two minutes in my Cuisinart.)
This recipe yields around 2 cups.
Per 15 g serving:
■57 calories (regular Nutella has 100)
■4.5 g fat
■2.5 g sugar (regular Nutella has 10 grams!)
■4 g carbohydrates
■0 mg cholesterol
This nutritional info DOES include the sugar/agave (and the oil). If you sub stevia for the sugar, the amount of calories (and obviously the sugar) will be lower. (As I said in the post, I haven’t personally tried subbing stevia for the sugar, and therefore I can’t vouch for the taste.)
