Raw Hazelnut Recipes

Here I share my favourite vegan recipes that are not only delicious, but they are vibrant, wholesome and designed to nourish you from the inside out with vegan and vegan curious followers.

Sticky, gooey and delicious double layered fudgy brownies with no baking required. A nutty-date base with a chocolate-caramel like frosting, these raw brownies are naturally vegan, gluten-free and easy to make.

The weather may be cooling down here in the UK and as much as I love baking and seasonal recipes, no bake chocolate treats will always have a place in my kitchen. These Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge Brownies are the best of the best: they’re everything I want in a raw brownie. The base is slightly dense and chewy while being sticky and rich with cacao and the frosting is gooey like chocolate caramel with a good sprinkling of salt. Despite the wholesome ingredients, they taste so indulgent.

I first made these Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge Brownies to celebrate Jim Jam’s Dark Hazelnut Chocolate Spread which is low sugar, fully plant-based and naturally gluten-free and I love it. You can use any chocolate spread or chocolate nut butter in its place for delicious results.

It’s amazing how all of these simple ingredients come together to form a sticky, chewy and delicious base for these Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge Brownies. Press down firmly into a lined tray while you make the even simpler frosting.

Sprinkle with more chopped hazelnuts and a good amount of flaky salt and allow the Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge Brownies to set in the fridge. They slice neatly and easily into 8 large squares, perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.

I cannot wait to hear what you think of these, they’re gooey, fudgy, rich and indulgent while being made with wholesome ingredients. They are naturally vegan and gluten-free and can be refined sugar free depending on the chocolate spread you use. The smoother and creamier, the better.

I love making homemade nut butters so much. I even did a whole post on them! My most used nut butter recipes are roasted almond butter and cashew butter, but I have to tell you, this homemade simple hazelnut butter is so dreamy, I honestly eat it with a spoon!

Hazelnuts are very robust and strong in flavor, almost bitter. But when you roast them, their natural oils release and after blending it into a creamy texture, it has a wonderful sweet flavor to it.

They are also a healthy whole food source of fat with many health benefits. They contain very little saturated fat, got a decent amount of protein and potassium in them and loaded with antioxidants! Additionally, they are a great source of Vitamin E!

The only ingredient you need to make hazelnut butter is hazelnuts! Make sure to buy them whole with the skins on them, since we are roasting them ourselves.

Step 2: Roast at 325°F for 15 minutes until golden brown and looking a bit oily on top. Watch closely the last couple of minutes to make sure they aren’t burning. Your whole house will smell amazing!

Step 4: Add the hazelnuts to a clean kitchen towel. Gather up all the sides and rub vigorously all over the towel, sides and bottom, rubbing the hazelnuts well. This will loosen most of the skins. Do not worry about getting every single skin off. Some left are ok. You should have lots of dark brown skins of the hazelnuts left on the towel.

Step 5: Scoop up all of the hazelnuts carefully in small amounts, leaving behind the skins, and place them either in a Vitamix or a food processor. Do not use a standard blender, it will not blend up properly! I used my Vitamix and it worked like a dream in just a few minutes.

Step 6: Start out blending on low and it will turn into a bunch of tiny pieces. You will have to stop and scrape down the sides and shake the container (if using the blender) several times in the beginning.

Step 7: Keep doing this until it starts to come together into a paste. Once it reaches this stage, run it gradually turning up to high until it becomes super smooth and runny. It will be nearly a liquid when you test it with a spoon. That is how you will know it’s done. This will vary depending on if you use a Vitamix or a food processor, but this happened within about 5 minutes in my blender.

This homemade hazelnut butter tastes absolutely amazing plain like this! It is slightly sweet, super warm and robust in flavor. But, if you like, you could add a pinch of salt or coconut sugar if you want it sweet. I do not advise adding maple syrup or a liquid sweetener. Adding liquid sweetener to nut butters causes them to seize up often in a blender or food processor.
