Healthy "Nutella"

My daughter loves Nutella, but I have issues with the artificial flavors and palm oil. In search for a healthier version and after a few trial and errors of recipes I found online, I have created one that is chocolaty, moist, creamy, and dairy free. I make two versions depending on what I have in the fridge. We use almond butter or peanut butter, so depending on your preference, you decide. Honestly, I think any nut butter would work. We also like to add sliced strawberries to increase antioxidant levels or sliced bananas. If you want to skip the bread or have a healthy desert you can dip your strawberries in the spread and it tastes delicious.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup almond or peanut butter

1/4 cup cacao powder

1/4 teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon

3-4 dates for sweetness

1/3 cup almond or oat milk

Preparation:

In blender, mix non dairy milk with 3-4 pitted dates. Blend for 90 seconds.

Mix nut butter, cinnamon, and cocoa powder in medium sized bowl. Once mixed through, add date "milk" for desired consistency.

Spread on crackers, your favorite bread, or use as a dipping sauce.

Enjoy!
