If you are looking for a healthier alternative to Nutella you must try this creamy vegan Nutella with only a bunch of ingredients made in less than 10 minutes.
I have a long history with Nutella. I mean I ate that stuff in my teenage age on a daily basis, sometimes just with a spoon out of the glass. and though I am aware that Nutella is one of those heavenly, chocolatey treats that no one eats in order to be healthy, I thought I could make at least a healthier version made just from plant based ingredients.
So when it comes to preparing the Nutella, there is really not a lot to say. You need a good blender in order to get the smoothest consistency possible. It definitely helps if you soak the dates overnight but if you want to make the Nutella straight away, you could soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes.
So far I have tried different consistencies by varying the amount of hot water. If you are aiming for a more “runny” Nutella you can add more water.
I really hope you enjoy this healthified Nutella and I would be happy to see your jar of Nutella on Social Media! Share it with my on Instagram @vanillacrunnch or leave a comment here!

Hi! I love your recipes, can i change the plant based oil for coconut oil? Thank you!
Hoi Elisa meins hatte nach 1 Woche leicht Schimmel aber mein Gefäss war wohl nicht dicht, super wenn du deins länger halten kannst ????
Hi Lara, wieso ist deine vegane Nutella nur bis zu einer Woche im Kühlschrank haltbar? Da ist doch nichts schnell verderbliches drinnen?!???? Ich esse die gerade noch länger…in einer Woche schaffe ich es auch nicht sie aufzuessen. Wäre schön wenn du mal schreibst was de Hintergrund der Angabe ist. Vielen Dank vorab.
Elisa
Thanks so much for the remark I will check on the recipe again! ????❤️
Hello, I made this recipe and it’s reaaaally good. But one thing is weird and that’s the water. I added the water in the end and it turned from nutella to chocolate-milk. Just way to much water, so I doubled every ingredient exept the water and hazelnuts. And then it was perfect???? (I also roasted my hazelnuts and blended them in after the food processor proses)❤❤❤
Das klingt einfach sooo gut!
Werde ich definitiv so bald wie möglich ausprobieren! 🙂
Of course! Please let me know how it goes so I can post the adaption maybe this will help other readers too! Thank you!
It looks amazing!!! But my son is intolerant to halsenuts. You think i can use macadamia ou pecan nuts? Thanks
