  1. Ahh! I am so excited about this!! I can’t wait to make this! I am a HUGE nutella fan but it’s expensive! I’d much rather make my own! 🙂

  3. I am making this recipe for a friend who is stationed overseas. Does it travel well? How long will this keep?

    1. Hi Diane! I am not sure how well it travels (I’d asume well, as long as you keep it in a tight container), but it lasts around 3 weeks. 🙂

  4. Hi! Can you tell me how many cups this one made…….I’m going to use it for your banana and nutella popsicles!

    1. Hi Cassie! It made about 9 oz, which is a little over a cup. 🙂 Have fun making Paleo Nutella!

  5. I have a question…and I’m a total newbie. Are you toasting the hazelnuts just to remove the shells? The reason I ask is blanched hazelnuts are more available here so the shell is already removed. Do I still need to toast the blanched hazelnuts to any degree? Thanks!

    1. Hi John! I toasted the hazelnuts in order to give them a smokey taste and feel, you need to have toasted hazelnuts for the recipe to turn out well. Unfortunately blanched hazelnuts will not work for this particular recipe.

  6. I can’t find shell hazelnuts, could I get raw unshelled then roast them in the oven to get the smokey taste and feel, or does that only happen when they are roasted in their shells..

  7. Does it need to stay refrigerated? I left mine in there overnight and now I can’t scoop it out.

    1. Hi Jasmin! No, it’s not supposed to be refrigerated. Just keep it in a cool place. 🙂

  8. Mariel,

    This was amazing! I loved it, and found it was fantastic that satisfies a sweet craving and then you are full, I did not feel the need to keep eating tons of it since it was so natural and great tasting. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂

    1. Vania! Yay, so glad to hear you liked my homemade Paleo Nutella! Thanks so much for your comment. 🙂

  9. Hello!
    Made the paleo bread first and then I made the Nutella.
    My Nutella is really thick and dark? What have I done wrong? Tastes lovely but consistency doesn’t seem write?
    🙂

    1. Did you use enough coconut oil? Did you melt the coconut oil before using it for the recipe? Try adding a little more coconut oil next time. Also be sure to roast and de-shell your hazelnuts before processing!

  10. Hello

    I just tried making this recipe but my Nutella tastes a little gritty. (I think it’s from the cocoa) What can I do to fix this? I don’t want to add too much coconut oil bc I don’t want to make it runny and lose the hazelnut taste.

    1. Hi there, Maria! Either process it a little bit longer or add some coconut oil/milk to it. Just so you know, my Paleo Nutella was not as smooth as butter, it was a tiny bit gritty as well…the nature of the ingredients used, I guess. 😉

  11. i finally found the perfect paleo blog. By any chance do you have a paleo bread recipe ? It would be used to spread my nutella on 😀
