We're Making Roasted Hazelnut Butter!
As some people have peanut allergies or just a general distaste for peanuts which prevents them from enjoying regular peanut butter, hazelnut butter is a great alternative to peanut butter! At Hazelnut Hill, we make our own hazelnut butter spread with 100% roasted Oregon hazelnuts.
Although hazelnut butter may be a little less familiar than peanut butter, there are just as many tasty and creative ways to use it. Here are some ways you can incorporate hazelnut butter into your meals.
Ways To Use Hazelnut Butter:
Spread on toast, pancakes, and waffles
Simply spread hazelnut butter onto your favorite breakfast carbs such as toast, pancakes or waffles.
Chocolate hazelnut spread. There is something magical about the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts, which makes the popularity of chocolate hazelnuts spreads, such as Nutella, completely understandable. Just add some cocoa powder, vanilla, and sugar to your jar of Hazelnut Hill Hazelnut Butter and you’ve got some homemade chocolate hazelnut spread.
In shakes and smoothies! If you’re short on time in the morning, try making a breakfast smoothie using hazelnut butter which will fill you up and give you the energy to get your day going. Check out this Chocolate, Hazelnut Butter, Chia Seed, Maca, and Banana Smoothie.
In desserts. Cookies, brownies, muffins, dessert bars, fudge, ice cream, and so much more. Hazelnuts and desserts tend to go hand-in-hand and the recipes are endless.

As a dipping sauce for apples, celery, and crackers. We all know that apple slices and celery go great with peanut butter, so why not switch it up and use hazelnut butter to make your ants on a log instead. Hazelnut butter is an easy and tasty dip or spread for vegetable crackers, apples, and celery.
