\"paleoLast year I spent a month on the Whole30 diet<\/a>, which is similar to Paleo with some additional modifications, and I really loved how it made me feel. Naturally gluten-free, this way of eating is heavy on the fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and animal proteins and skips the grains, legumes, dairy, sugar and alcohol. And while it is not a lifestyle I prefer to follow exclusively (I love cheese, GF grains, legumes and wine!) it is a great addition to my weekly menu. So where does dark chocolate hazelnut fit into this scheme you ask? Creatively – and deliciously – it turns out!<\/p>\n

\"12516047_10153791932698077_898403617_n\"The idea for this bread arose from a Whole30 and Paleo approved snack I created by combining dates, unsweetened cocoa, Tahitian vanilla powder, a dash of salt and hazelnuts into a thick and incredibly tasty version of Nutella, high in fiber, protein, iron and healthy fats. And I confess I love to eat it right out of the bowl with a spoon! The recipe below is has all of the same good-for-you characteristics with none of the guilt! As you might imagine, this bread is very rich and a small piece is filling. But just try stopping at one!<\/p>\n

Guilt-Free Paleo Nutella Bread Recipe<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 1\/2 unsweetened applesauce (1 medium apple, skin removed and pureed, or store-bought<\/em>)<\/li>\n
  • 12-16 medium Medjool dates with the pits removed (use 14-16 if you like it on the sweeter side)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 – 1\/3 C high-quality unsweetened cocoa\u00a0 (use 1\/3 C if you like a really dark chocolate flavor)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 6 large organic eggs<\/li>\n
  • 2 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp salt<\/li>\n
  • 1\/3 C coconut oil, hazelnut oil, melted ghee or a combo (I prefer hazelnut oil and\/or ghee<\/em>)<\/li>\n
  • 1 C hazelnut meal\/flour (Bob’s Red Mill makes a great one that is available at Whole Foods and Market Basket as well as online)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1\/2\u00a0C\u00a0coconut flour (available at Whole Foods and Market Basket as well as online)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 C toasted hazelnuts\u00a0(optional but I highly recommend!)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp each natural hazelnut and chocolate extracts \u00a0(optional as they do contain a miniscule amount of alcohol.\u00a0Bakto is my preferred brand and I buy it on Amazon)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Equipment<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Greased loaf pan<\/li>\n
    • Food processor (or a bowl, a spoon and some serious elbow grease)<\/li>\n
    • Large mixing bowl<\/li>\n
    • Spatula<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Directions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Pre-heat oven to 350\u00b0<\/li>\n
      • Combine all ingredients except the hazelnuts in the food processor and puree until fairly smooth, about 45 seconds (I would tell you to add ingredients in a particular order as most recipes do, but the truth is I am lazy and this is easier!)<\/em><\/li>\n
      • Pour batter into large mixing bowl and stir in hazelnuts<\/li>\n
      • Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for 45 min – 1 hour or until a toothpick\/knife inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/li>\n
      • Cool in the loaf pan, slice, serve and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        This bread will freeze well and you can defrost in the microwave or toaster oven.<\/p>\n

        Since I am not strictly Whole30 or Paleo I also love it drizzled with melted 70% dark chocolate and served with a glass of red wine (hey we all need just a little guilt now and again!)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
