Ever eaten Nutella straight out of the jar with a spoon? Remember that creamy aerated texture that would never stop at just one spoon? Well, this Keto Nutella tastes exactly like the real thing, only without the sugar, and with plenty of added healthy fats.
A lot of the taste of Nutella actually comes from the roasted hazelnuts, so roasting them in the oven for 10 minutes to remove the outer husk is very important. You can simply rub off the husk once they have cooled down. Removing the husk ensures that the Nutella is creamy and smooth. You can keep the husk and sprinkle it over salads to sure you’re keeping all the good bits.
What is the main flavour in Nutella?
Two words – roasted hazelnuts.
I purchased these hazelnuts from Coles in 150g lots, so using 2 bags of these nuts was perfect for a 300ml jar of homemade Nutella.
All of the ingredients in this homemade Nutella are vegetarian, vegan and keto-friendly, which makes this dessert the perfect option to take to social occasions. Unfortunately, I haven’t come up with a nut-free version just yet, but sesame seeds could make a fantastic option.
It goes very well with a slice or two of Keto Bread and it’s just as smooth as normal Nutella. Chocolate hazelnut spread is one of my favourites to keep in the fridge to ward off a pesky sweet tooth to ensure I’m eating something keto-friendly as opposed to letting my diet slip.
If you’ve read this far, you might get a kick out of this photo (or not) at the way I chopped the keto bread below…
I hope you enjoyed making this recipe as much as I did making it for you. If you love Nutella, and you loved this recipe, then make sure you share it with a friend.

Hi. great one for my love to PB and nutella – tnx 🙂
Had a little problam with the erithyrytol. I used my food processor to make it powderd but i still feel that crunchy texture and the cool aftertaste. Is there a solution?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hey Lilly. I’d maybe try purchase powered erythritol, or dissolve it in a little hot water before adding it to the mix. Hope that helps 🙂
Marilyn says
I never received it yet!!
Jamie G says
This is probably a silly question…but can I use my Vitamix instead of food processor?
FatForWeightLoss says
Yup, a Vitamix will also work.
Ariana says

Julie says
Coconut is a problem for me. Is there an alternative? Because I LOVE Nutella and I need a sweet fallback some days.
FatForWeightLoss says
Hmmm, not really for this recipe i’m sorry.
VicarOfStLooney says
You could maybe try avocado oil in my quest for a ketogenic nutella recipe I did see one somewhere where they said you could substitute coconut oil with avocado oil. Might be worth a try
Muge says
You can use raw tahini if you are ok with sesame
Marisa says
Can coconut sugar or a different alternative sweetener be used instead of the eryhtritol?
FatForWeightLoss says
Coconut sugar no, but monkfruit or stevia will work.
Yvonne Kenny says
Can the coconut oil be substituted for olive oil or butter maybe? I can’t tolerate coconut oil unfortunately.
Yvonne
FatForWeightLoss says
Sure! I think butter would work best.
Muge says
You can use raw tahini instead if you cant tolerate coconut oil

Betty Stahl says
What is the serving size for the Keto Nutella. Downloaded the recipe but don’t see the serving size for the 114 calorie info.
FatForWeightLoss says

Claudia says
It says 15 grams
Sabine says
Thanks for this recipe.
Do you use eryhtritol as it is in the container (granular), or do you process it in a powdered form ?
Sabine (from France)
NB. thanks for using grams in some of your recipes (cups and teaspoons are hard on froggies’ nerves !)
FatForWeightLoss says
hahaha! Froggies nerves 😀 I use powdered erythritol. However, you can powder this yourself using a food processor or blender if you’ve got one (and you’re making enough)
