What to do with Cacao Nibs? Part 4 Hazelnut Butter with Nibs

Hazelnut Butter with Cocoa Nibs by ChocolateSpiel

This is an awesome recipe - really quick to make (which is always important to me) and very versatile. A heads up: this nut butter is not sweet. If you like it sweeter add sugar, maple syrup, honey or any desired sweetener. 

What you need to make my hazelnut butter:

  • 6 cups or 590g of hazelnuts 

  • If you like it crunchy you’ll need 1 cup hazelnuts extra

  • 1/2 cup or 70g nibs

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup or 60ml oil (I used almond oil)

  • If you want it sweeter: 2-3 tablespoon of sugar, sugar alternatives, maple syrup or honey


How to make hazelnut butter:

  1. Mix hazelnuts, salt and nibs in a blender on highest speed level for 1 minute

  2. Add oil (and sugar)

  3. Mix again for 1 minute on highest speed

  4. If you like it crunchy add an additional 1 cup or 150g of hazelnuts and just blend a couple of seconds

Perfect on bread, in yogurt, oat meal and with fruits!
