We love pretty much any type of nut butter, from peanut to almond to cashew. But one in particular—hazelnut—has a buttery richness you just can’t find anywhere else. Throw in chocolate, and it’s downright impossible to resist. Nutiva Classic Hazelnut Spread is a healthier version of classic chocolate-hazelnut spread—made vegan and organic. For an unforgettable breakfast treat, try it slathered all over toasted sourdough and topped with fresh berries.
Yield: 2 servings
Active Time: 10 minutes
2 slices sourdough bread
1 to 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
chocolate-hazelnut spread, to taste
1 cup mixed berries (sliced strawberries, blackberries, pitted cherries, raspberries, blueberries)
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush tops and bottoms of bread with oil and grill until golden brown and crunchy, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Spread toast with chocolate-hazelnut spread and top with berries to serve.
