THIS SIMPLE HAZELNUT BUTTER IS WAY HEALTHIER THAN NUTELLA
Silky-smooth homemade hazelnut butter is often overlooked for its wildly popular chocolatey cousin. However, if you take away the chocolate, you get a gorgeous, speckled-brown nut butter that's much healthier and much lower in sugar-but just as luxe and indulgent. Make our super simple hazelnut butter recipe, and you'll instantly fall for its creamy, dreamy, naturally sweet goodness. This thinner nut butter is perfect for drizzling over waffles, French toast, fresh fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, and more. Hazelnuts may be slightly higher in fat than peanuts or almonds, but they're just as nutritious. Hazelnuts actually pack less saturated fat per serving than pistachios-and the majority of the their fat is heart-healthy, unsaturated fat. Master this basic formula, then mix it up with ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, or chopped dark or white chocolate. For best results, use a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or a Ninja. You can also use a food processor, but the nuts will take longer to break down. Looking for more homemade nut butter recipes? Try this easy peanut butter recipe or our basic almond butter recipe.

- Use the rubber spatula to scoop hazelnut butter into an airtight container. Keep refrigerated.

CINNAMON HAZELNUT BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and add hazelnuts to a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for a total of 12-15 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Then transfer to a large kitchen towel and use your hands to roll the nuts around and remove most of the skins (see photo). You want to get as much as possible off because it yields a creamier nut butter. But it doesn't have to be perfect!
- Leaving excess skin behind, scoop hazelnuts into a food processor or high speed blender. Blend on low until a butter begins to form - about 7-9 minutes total - scraping down sides as needed.
- Once the hazelnut butter is creamy and smooth, add the ground cinnamon, sea salt, and coconut sugar (optional).
- Blend/puree again until well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Transfer hazelnut butter to a clean jar and store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 months (or more).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; mix into the egg mixture. Stir in the hazelnuts. Shape dough into two equal logs approximately 12 inches long. Place logs on baking sheet, and flatten out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Bake for about 30 minutes in preheated oven, or until edges are golden and the center is firm. Remove from oven to cool on the pans. When loaves are cool enough to handle, use a serrated knife to slice the loaves diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Return the slices to the baking sheet.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes, turning over once. Cool completely, and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
