Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw hazelnuts
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Applesauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the raw hazelnuts on a separate baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until slightly golden and fragrant.

Step 3

Allow the hazelnuts to cool slightly, then transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Rub the hazelnuts to remove most of the skins.

Step 4

Place the skinned hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until they turn into a creamy hazelnut butter, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 5

Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor. Blend until well combined and smooth. This makes the vegan Nutella.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Step 7

In a large bowl, mix the coconut sugar, almond milk, and applesauce until well combined.

Step 8

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 9

Fold the homemade vegan Nutella into the cookie dough, leaving large swirls.

Step 10

Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
