Servings 10
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (70 g) nut butter of choice (*see notes)
- 4 tbsp (80 g) maple syrup (*see notes)
- 3 tbsp (18 g) cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 tbsp water or plant-based milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 dash of instant coffee optional
Instructions
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Add all ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and stir with a whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste it and add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter! Add more nut butter and cocoa powder for a thicker cream or more water for a thinner chocolate spread. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a similar taste to "Nutella", I would recommend using hazelnut butter, however, if you can't find it, then simply use creamy peanut butter or your favorite nut butter. Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
- Use your favorite liquid sweetener instead of maple syrup. Some examples are rice malt syrup, agave syrup, date syrup, etc. Or use powdered Erythritol for a sugar-free, low-carb Nutella. You might need to add a little more water to thin out the spread.
- You can melt dairy-free chocolate chips and add a few tablespoons for an ultra-rich and chocolatey spread!
- Add a tiny dash of instant coffee (or room temperature espresso liquid in place of the water) to enhance the chocolate flavor.

- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
