Rich, Sweet, & Sustainable Homemade Hazelnut Spread: A Gluten-Free & Vegan Nutella Alternative

Hazelnutty, chocolatey, and sweet. This recipe is gluten-free and vegan friendly. It uses sustainable ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. If you don’t have or can’t eat hazelnuts, you can substitute with any nut or seed. In this video after making the spread, Scott and I compare homemade hazelnut spread to Nutella. We discuss our preferred version and why. Scott educates us a little on the evolution of processed foods and macronutrients.
