Weekend Treats: Gluten-free Vegan Nutella and Cupcakes.🌱🌰😋❤️🌺

Hello everyone, hope you have a good Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead! 🤗

Since I’m gluten-free vegan diet and I love Nutella very much so I made my own homemade version.🌱🌰😋❤️

Vegan Nutella: I roasted organic almond and used my Blendtec twister to make almond butter. Transferred the almond butter to my food processor and added vegan nutrients dense cacao powder with a little bit of my homemade cashew milk. The result is beautiful and delicious, I’m very happy about it. 😁👍

Vegan Cupcakes: I saved my Nutella in my glass jar and the rest of it I used to make cupcakes (just need to add gluten-free flour, baking powder and a little bit more cashew milk and maple syrup). Added almond slices on top as the last step. I baked 12 cupcakes at 350F for 30 mins. I shared half with my parents and they love them. 🧁😋👍

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Hey this looks a real treat Koko and I’d love some, your home made Nutella sounds better than mass produced so you enjoy your weekend treats. 😁

Thank you very much for saying that Jerry! 😊🙏

Yes no more supermarket mass produced for me. I like the fact that almond has great amount of calcium and we can control no table sugar added in.👍

Enjoy the rest of your Friday evening Jerry! 😁

Ur so imaginative 👏 I’ll bet they were really delicious. Mmhm you got me in the mood for some chocolate

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Awe thank you Kainan for saying that! 🤗🙏What do you usually have with Nutella? 😁

[Kainan Guest in reply to Hidden]

I don’t ever have Nutella but you got me thinking I should try some

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Okay, I just attached you the pic of my old Nutella bottle and I wouldn’t recommend you to try it though. This is the reason why I made my own: 1st ingredient is Sugar and then palm oil…. all bad and 200 calories in 2 tbsp. 🤯

Time to make some cupcakes Zazen 😂, I think your treats need to kick it up a notch 😁

Enjoy your weekend! 😊🌺

[Greendream123 in reply to ZazenRiver345]

You haven't had a cupcake in years?! That's hard to comprehend. 🤣

[Hidden in reply to Greendream123]

You said it! 😂

[Greendream123]

Your cupcakes looks great. Have you tried making chocolate spread using roasted hazlenuts? I did once but the consistency wasn't quite right.

There is an amazing vegan chocolate spread by Vego (in the UK at least) but that is bound to have a lot of sugar etc in... Good for the odd treat (I've only had it once or twice, as a gift)

[Hidden in reply to Greendream123]

Thank you very much for saying that Greendream123! 😊🙏

I haven’t tried to make with hazelnuts because I currently have a lot almonds and cashews. It’s quite a process of making almond butter because they are hard texture, have to grind many times. And then last step is blending with a bit cashew milk in food processor and it comes out very smooth and thick. I would think hazelnuts much softer and easier to blend to the right consistency.🤔

We don’t have Vego in US but we have Nutiva and same problem with sugar. I use Nutella in my oatmeals quite often so I gotta make it.

Maybe you can try making your nutella again. 😁

[Greendream123 in reply to Hidden]

I can imagine it taking a long time to grind almonds down! I'll definitely try again with the hazlenuts - roasting them gives the house such a lovely aroma so it's worth it for that alone.

[Hidden in reply to Greendream123]

Definitely the aroma from roasting and baking make the house smell so warm and cozy.🤗

Thank you Happyman4 for saying that, much appreciated! Hope you have a great night. 🤗🙏
