Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter
How do you make homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
Make homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter by blending roasted hazelnuts in a food processor until they release their oils and turn creamy. They pass through a dry, crumbly stage first, so scrape down the bowl and keep processing in short bursts.
Why is my homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter still dry and crumbly?
Homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter can stay crumbly if the hazelnuts have not been blended long enough or the processor is underpowered. Continue in short bursts, scraping the sides; a little patience usually works better than adding liquid.
Do you need to add oil to homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
No, homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter usually needs no added oil because hazelnuts release their own oils as they are blended. If it remains unusually thick after thorough processing, a small amount of neutral oil can loosen it.
Should you roast hazelnuts before making homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
Roasting hazelnuts first gives homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter a deeper, toastier flavor and helps the nuts blend smoothly. Let them cool before processing, and avoid dark roasting, which can make the finished butter taste bitter.
Do you have to peel hazelnuts for homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
No, you do not have to remove every hazelnut skin to make homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter. Leaving the skins on can make the flavor more robust and the color darker; rubbing roasted nuts in a towel removes much of the loose skin.
How should you store homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
Store homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter in a clean, tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator, especially if you will keep it for a while. Chilling makes it firmer, so let a portion soften briefly before spreading.
Why does homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter separate?
Homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter separates because the hazelnuts' natural oil can rise to the surface while the jar sits. Stir it thoroughly with a clean, dry spoon before using; separation alone does not mean the butter has spoiled.
Can you freeze homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
Yes, homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter can be frozen in a tightly sealed freezer-safe container. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well afterward if the texture has separated; leave a little room in the container for expansion.
What can you eat with homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
Homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter works well on toast, stirred into oatmeal or yogurt, or blended into smoothies. Pairing it with fruit is an easy option, and its lack of added sugar lets you control the sweetness in baking.
Is homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter the same as Nutella?
No, homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter is not the same as Nutella: it is typically just ground hazelnuts, while Nutella includes sugar, cocoa, and other ingredients. The homemade version tastes more like roasted nuts and is not as sweet or chocolatey.

What is Homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter?
Homemade unsweetened hazelnut butter is made by grinding hazelnuts until they become smooth or retain a little crunch, with no sugar added. Its rich, toasted flavour and naturally sweet edge work well on toast, stirred into porridge or yoghurt, or spooned over sliced fruit. It is easy to fit into breakfast or a snack, whether you make it with roasted hazelnuts for a deeper flavour or keep the taste milder.
Hazelnuts bring substantial fat alongside protein and fibre, making this a filling, energy-dense spread. A modest spoonful goes a long way; pair it with fruit or whole-grain toast for a simple snack, and stir the jar before serving if the texture has separated.
