Homemade Hazelnut Butter Guide

Now you can make your own hazelnut butter at home. Perfect on toast, oatmeal, in dessert and lots of other treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 350g / 12,3 oz plain hazelnuts
  • A hearty pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start with spreading out the hazelnuts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Set the oven to 175ºC / 350ºF and while heating up roast the hazelnuts until the skins of the nuts fall off when rubbed, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to burn them! I also recommend trying to taste the nuts and from that decide when you think they’re done roasting.
  2. Once roasted, rub the skins of the hazelnuts by rolling them, with quite a lot of pressure, against the baking tray. Transfer the still warm and more or less skinless hazelnuts to a strong food processor, add a hearty pinch of salt, and process until you get a nice silky smooth nut butter. Have patience and stop to scrape the sides every now and then. Transfer to a clean jar and voilà! Enjoy!

Notes

What ever you do DO NOT ADD ANY LIQUIDS to the nut butter, especially not anything water-based. It make the nut butter curl and split!
