Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C and spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on the baking sheet.
-
Step 2
Roast until fragrant and lightly browned, shaking the baking sheet once halfway through.
-
Step 3
Transfer the warm hazelnuts to the kitchen towel. Let them cool briefly, then rub firmly in the towel to remove most of the loose skins.
-
Step 4
Place the skinned hazelnuts in the food processor and process until they become a fluid, smooth nut butter, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
-
Step 5
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until evenly blended and glossy.
-
Step 6
Scrape the spread into a clean, dry lidded jar. Cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.
