5 ingredient Nut Free Nutella
It’s not very often you get a superfood combined with a dessert, but this nut free Nutella made from sunflower seeds is just that! Sunflower seeds are one of my favorite ingredients to use in recipes because they are allergy friendly, packed with vitamins like zinc, potassium, copper, manganese, iron just to name a few, and are full of healthy fiber for your gut microbiome. Plus this entire batch has over 66 grams of protein…whoa! It’s no wonder why people call them superfoods.
Oh, and the best part about this recipe is it contains zero added oils, unlike the many Nutella recipes out on the market/internet. Enjoy this nut free Nutella to help promote healthy heart function, reduce inflammation, and support a healthy immune system.
This recipe is:
high in fiber
plant based
high in protein
dairy free
heart health dessert
kid friendly
diabetes friendly
I love this recipe because it’s made with just 5 simple ingredients, and pairs perfectly with toast, fruit, as a garnish on a smoothie bowl, or simply by itself. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
