Is Nutella Keto-Friendly?

Traditional Nutella is not keto friendly because it contains a large amount of added sugar, and one serving of two tablespoons has around 22 grams of net carbs. That amount is enough to take you out of ketosis very quickly.

The good news is that you can still enjoy the same chocolate hazelnut flavor with this homemade sugar free Nutella. It has only 2g net carbs per tablespoon, and it tastes rich and creamy just like the real thing. It is the perfect keto-friendly alternative for anyone who loves Nutella but wants a healthier, low carb option.

Keto Nutella Ingredients

You only need five simple ingredients to make this creamy and delicious sugar free Nutella at home. Everything blends together into a smooth, rich low carb chocolate hazelnut spread that tastes just like the classic version.

• Hazelnuts – Choose raw hazelnuts and roast them at home to release their natural oils and deepen the flavor. If you are short on time, dry roasted hazelnuts work well too.
• Coconut Oil – This helps create a smooth, creamy consistency. You can also use avocado oil or macadamia oil if you prefer.
• Cocoa Powder – A good quality cocoa powder makes a big difference. Higher fat cocoa gives the spread a deeper color and richer chocolate flavor. Cacao powder is also a great option.
• Sweetener –Use a powdered sweetener so it blends smoothly and dissolves quickly. Adjust the amount based on how sweet you like your keto Nutella.
• Vanilla Extract – A high-quality vanilla extract adds warmth and richness to the flavor.
• Salt – Just a small pinch enhances the sweetness and brings all the flavors together.

How To Make This Delicious Homemade Nutella

I have been making my own keto Nutella for years, and it is honestly so easy that I never buy the store version anymore. All you need is a food processor and a few ingredients. The one step I never skip is roasting the hazelnuts because it makes the spread extra creamy and brings out the most incredible flavor.

Roasting The Hazelnuts

Start by roasting the hazelnuts for about 10 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, you will smell that warm, toasty hazelnut aroma that makes this recipe so good.

Let them cool for a minute, then place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub them together to remove the skins. They come off easily, and a little leftover skin is totally fine.

Making Hazelnut Butter

Transfer the warm hazelnuts to a high-speed food processor. At first they will turn into a powder, then they start clumping, and after a few more minutes they transform into a smooth hazelnut butter.

It usually takes me around 8 to 10 minutes, and I scrape the bowl a few times as it blends.

Once the hazelnut butter is creamy, add your cocoa powder, coconut oil, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

Blend everything until it becomes glossy and smooth. I always taste it at this stage and adjust the sweetness a little if needed.

When the texture turns silky and chocolatey, that is when I know it is perfect.

Scoop your homemade sugar free Nutella into a jar and enjoy it warm or chilled. I spread it on keto toast, swirl it over waffles, and sometimes just take a little spoonful straight from the jar.

It keeps well in the fridge, but honestly, it never lasts long in my house.

Tips For Making The Best Homemade Sugar-Free Nutella

• Make the hazelnut butter extra smooth: The creamier your hazelnut butter is, the creamier your sugar free Nutella will be. Let it blend long enough to get silky before adding any other ingredients.
• Add a splash of coconut oil if needed: If the mixture looks a little dry or grainy, a spoonful of melted coconut oil helps everything blend into a smooth chocolate hazelnut spread.
• Try different nuts for fun variations: If you want to switch things up, you can make this recipe with peanuts or almonds. Each one gives the spread a slightly different flavor, and they all work beautifully.
• Boost the chocolate flavor: If you love a stronger chocolate taste, melt half a cup of sugar free chocolate and blend it in at the end. It gives the spread a richer, deeper flavor.
• Make it thicker and creamier: For a thicker and more decadent texture, add a splash of heavy cream during the last minute of blending. It makes the low carb Nutella extra smooth and spreadable.

Can I Use Hazelnut Butter?

Yes, you can absolutely use store bought hazelnut butter to save time. If you already have a jar at home, you will need about 2 cups for this recipe. Just skip straight to the step where you add the cocoa powder, sweetener, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy and you will have the easiest homemade Nutella in minutes.

How To Serve

• You can spread it on a slice of keto bread.
• Eat it with your favorite keto pancakes in the morning.
• It’s great as a dip for strawberries.
• It’s perfect as a glaze for some keto donuts.
• Mix into your favorite smoothie recipe for added sweetness and flavor.

How To Store These Delicious Homemade Sugar-Free Nutella

• Fridge: Store homemade keto Nutella in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator for up to one month.
• Freezer: Nutella made at home is not freezer-friendly because when the chocolate spread is thawed from the freezer, it becomes crumbly and thick rather than smooth.
