Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed hazelnuts
What can you bake with crushed hazelnuts?
Crushed hazelnuts work well in brownies, biscuits, cakes and tart crusts. Fold them into the batter for nutty flavour throughout, or scatter them on top for crunch; add delicate pieces near the end of baking so they do not burn.
Can crushed hazelnuts replace whole hazelnuts in a recipe?
Yes, crushed hazelnuts can replace whole hazelnuts when the recipe does not rely on their shape. They distribute more evenly in fillings and batters, but will not provide the same whole-nut crunch or appearance.
Should you toast crushed hazelnuts before using them?
No, toasting is not required, but it brings out a deeper, more aromatic flavour. Toast crushed hazelnuts briefly in a dry pan over low heat, stirring constantly, because the small pieces brown faster than whole nuts.
How do you keep crushed hazelnuts from going rancid?
Keep crushed hazelnuts in an airtight container away from heat, light and moisture. Their natural oils can develop an unpleasant stale or paint-like smell, so refrigerate them if you will not use them soon.
Can you freeze crushed hazelnuts?
Yes, crushed hazelnuts freeze well when sealed in an airtight freezer bag or container. Remove only what you need and let it come to room temperature while still sealed, which helps keep condensation from dampening the pieces.
Can crushed hazelnuts be used to make hazelnut butter?
Yes, but crushed hazelnuts may need extra processing to become smooth hazelnut butter. Blend them in a powerful food processor, scraping down the sides; lightly roasting the nuts first can help release their oils and deepen the flavour.
Can crushed hazelnuts be used as a coating for fish or chicken?
Yes, crushed hazelnuts can make a crisp coating for fish or chicken. Press them onto the food after dipping it in egg or another suitable binder, then bake or pan-cook gently so the nuts brown without scorching.
Can you eat crushed hazelnuts raw?
Yes, crushed hazelnuts sold for eating can be eaten raw; roasting is optional. Raw pieces have a milder flavour, while brief toasting makes them more aromatic. Keep them dry and use a clean utensil when serving.
Do crushed hazelnuts need to be peeled?
No, the thin brown skin on crushed hazelnuts is edible and does not need to be removed. It can add a slightly more robust, mildly bitter note; use blanched hazelnuts if a recipe needs a paler colour and gentler flavour.
Can eating crushed hazelnuts cause weight gain?
Crushed hazelnuts do not cause weight gain on their own, but they are energy-dense, so large additions can raise the total energy in a snack or meal. Measure them into a dish rather than eating straight from the bag.

What is Crushed hazelnuts?
Crushed hazelnuts are hazelnuts broken into small pieces, sold or prepared raw or toasted. They’re a versatile ingredient in baking and desserts, and can also add crunch to savoury dishes.
Their rich, gently sweet, nutty flavour works well over porridge, yoghurt and fruit, or folded into biscuits, cakes and chocolate desserts. In hazelnut-growing regions they’re a familiar baking ingredient; elsewhere, they’re easy to use as a topping for breakfast bowls or salads. They’re energy-dense, with mostly unsaturated fat, plus fibre and protein; a 20 g serving adds plenty of flavour without needing much. Toast the pieces briefly for a deeper aroma, or use them as they are when you want a milder taste.
