Nutella is one of those treats that are dangerous to keep around. You can end up mindlessly eating almost the whole jar in no time by eating spoonful after spoonful after spoonful.

Keep in mind that there are 21 grams of sugar and 22 grams of carbohydrates in only two tablespoons of regular Nutella. And who in the world only eats only two tablespoons of Nutella at a time?

That's some serious willpower.

Why You Should Make This Homemade Healthy Nutella Recipe

Obviously, the main reason to make this delicious healthy Nutella recipe is that there is no sugar in it at all. There's no guilt here when you eat this Nutella so even if you overindulge, you aren't going crazy.

Now this isn't permission to go overboard and eat the entire jar in one setting. You still have to watch your portion size.

The first ingredient in regular Nutella is sugar which is just another way of saying that it consists mainly of sugar. There are also several questionable ingredients in regular Nutella unlike this healthy version.

This Homemade Healthy Nutella recipe is also so simple to make. It might look fancy, but it can be ready in under 30 minutes.

Recipe Ingredients

Raw Hazelnuts - Make sure you use raw hazelnuts, many of the roasted nuts contain unnecessary ingredients as well as oils. You can use raw or dry roasted hazelnuts, just read the ingredients.
Sugar free chocolate chips - I use Lily's sugar free dark chocolate chips in this Nutella recipe. You can get creative and use white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips as well for a fun twist.
Pure Vanilla extract - I use pure vanilla extract which doesn’t contain any artificial flavors or additives, it’s just pure vanilla made from alcohol. I use this one.
salt
Monk fruit or another sugar free sweetener (optional) - Personally I don't use any sweetener if this recipe, but you can start with 2 tablespoons of sweetener and then add more to your taste. This is the sweetener I always use.
