Creamy Roasted Hazelnut Butter
This recipe is really a precursor to some other recipes I have coming to the blog soon. Over the past year hazelnuts have become one of my favorite things to add to desserts and baked goods. They lend a very distinct and unique flavor to things and they also help a lot with texture.
Most hazelnut butter recipes are used for making a Nutella. I absolutely LOVE homemade Nutella but sometimes it is really nice to enjoy just the hazelnut flavor as it is.
You can use this butter in smoothies, on pancakes, waffles and a myriad of other things.

- Preheat oven to 350. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 15-17 minutes. Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Dampen a kitchen towel and lay it flat on the counter. Carefully pour the hazelnuts in the towel and close the towel and rub the hazelnuts to get the skin off.
- Put the hazelnuts (without the skins) in a food processor and blend for about 3 minutes. Scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the vanilla and salt and blend until mixture is smooth and creamy. It should take around 5-7 minutes.
Notes
Hazelnuts can burn easily so keep an eye on them while roasting. If your oven tends to run high then they may need less than 15 minutes.
