I may or may not have had a 2-minute low carb English muffin with homemade sugar-free Nutella spread with my coffee this morning. Hey, don’t judge! This indulgent sounding little meal is actually packed with protein and healthy fat, sans the carbs, gluten, and sugar. Besides, I needed a quick and easy low carb breakfast to conquer this busy day.
How is it that the long Thanksgiving weekend always flies right by? You think you have all this time, but it quickly fills up with multiple get-togethers for different sides of the family, frenzied holiday shopping, and whatever tasks you’ve been putting off doing around the house. With December right around the corner, it feels like the holiday season is here.
You want something festive, and maybe chocolate-y. But with how busy this time tends to get, not to mention all the food you just made for Thanksgiving, many of us need a little break from cooking.
Sugar-free Nutella Spread Recipe
Sugar-free Nutella spread is a wonderful way to solve this little problem of “need chocolate” + “no cooking”. It requires just five ingredients and a few minutes to whip up! When you don’t want to spend time in the kitchen, it’ll satisfy your craving for chocolate (and Nutella!) over the aforementioned microwave English muffin.
Like any nut butter, this low carb Nutella spread does sometimes thicken slightly over time. Partly this happens due to natural oil separation.
If your recipe needs it to be ultra spreadable, or if it’s just denser than you like a few days later, you can always blend in a little more oil to make it smoother. Otherwise, if you just find that the oil separated toward the top, you’ll also want to blend it again. Don’t just pour it off, or the spread will be too hard. Try blending first without adding anything, and if it’s still too thick you can try adding a little more oil.

-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Arrange the hazelnuts in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes, until they are browned and fragrant.
- Place the hazelnuts into a large container or bowl with a lid. Shake vigorously to remove loose skins. Repeat the process as needed, setting aside hazelnuts that already have their skins removed, until most of the skins are off. (Alternatively, rub the hazelnuts inside a folded towel to remove the skins.)
-
Place the skinned hazelnuts into a high-power blender, like the Blendtec 625. Process for 1-3 minutes, scraping the sides as needed, until the nuts begin to release oil and then form a smooth nut butter. (The Blendtec Twister Jar works well for this - just turn the lid counterclockwise as the blender runs.)
-
Add the powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, avocado oil (start with 1 tbsp (15 mL)), and vanilla extract. Process for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spread is smooth and glossy.
- If the spread is thicker than you would like, you can add a little more avocado oil, a teaspoon at a time, and process again, until you reach the desired consistency. Similarly, you can add additional sweetener to taste if you'd like.

I have tried a few recipes for nutella and it is by far my favorite one. Stays spreading straight out of the fridge. Delicious!

Hi, the kcal count per tbsp is underestimated. I logged the separate ingredients in my calculator, and it comes to 115 kcal, not 67.
