Homemade Vegan Nutella (Sugar-free)
If you love chocolate-based spreads, like Nutella, but prefer something vegan, sugar free and infinitely healthier, then I have the perfect homemade “Nutella” recipe, made with just 4 ingredients: cocoa, dates, hazelnuts and vegetable milk.
This recipe is enough for 2 jars of this utter delight—one for you and one to gift.
You can enjoy this delicious spread on toast for breakfast or brunch, adding a rich, chocolatey flavor that’s both satisfying and guilt-free. It pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit like bananas or strawberries for an extra burst of sweetness, or you can swirl it into oatmeal for a decadent twist.
This vegan “Nutella” is also perfect as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or even as a dip for snacks like apple slices.
Enjoy!

This is good! I love how there’s no need for refined sugar in this recipe since the dates give it just enough sweetness in my opinion. I’m thinking of using this as a filling for puff pastries next.
