A gorgeously rich and creamy easy hazelnut milk recipe, rich in nutrients and made in minutes with raw hazelnuts.

Hazelnut milk. this recipe

Use hazelnut milk in your morning cereal, in overnight oats, as the liquid in your morning smoothie. Wonderful in tartes, smoothies, raw cheesecake and sweets. They're also delicious as a dairy replacement in coffee.

Hazelnuts are without a doubt my absolute favourite nut.

Often associated with rich desserts, chocolate gifts and that famous brand of chocolate hazelnut spread we all know. They’re a favourite ingredient at celebrations and special occasions, and always part of something fabulously indulgent.

Thanks to simple recipes like this I can enjoy them whenever I like. And so, of course can you.

Recipe ingredients.

This simple, easy to make recipe has just 3 ingredients:

  1. Raw hazelnuts
  2. Water (I prefer filtered or bottled water to tap water)
  3. Pitted dates. I like zamali dates or medjool dates.

Follow my easy 3-step method below for perfect hazelnut milk in just 5 minutes.

The most difficult bit of making raw nut milk is remembering to soak the nuts.

Whole hazelnuts.

Soak for 8-10 hours then rinse and drain before blending with any added ingredients and turning them into hazlenut milk.

I like to leave them soaking in a bowl or a mason jar on the worktop overnight, and cover them with a clean tea towel to keep them clean.

About hazelnuts.

Hazelnuts are also known as cobnuts and filberts. They are native to the uk and grow on trees, among hedgerows and in our woodland areas. Much loved by our wildlife, especially squirrels they begin to become ripe and available mid-late autumn.

They can be found with a papery outer covering, are light in colour with dark brown skins. Small and roundish shaped, they’re similar in size to chickpeas. 

Hazelnuts are highly nutritious containing many essential nutrients including Vitamin E, zinc, b vitamins, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and others. They’re also high in fat, protein and dietary fibre.

They make a fab plant based alternative to dairy milk and are gluten free.

Hazelnuts can be used in many foods including to make:

  • chocolate,
  • liqueur 
  • spread, 
  • vegan milk and milkshakes, 
  • butter,
  • flour.

You can also use the leftover pulp for making fabulous raw sweets!

  • apples
  • pears
  • cherries
  • peaches
  • chocolate
  • pomegranate
  • coffee
  • brussel sprouts

Soaking the nuts softens them and produces a smoother tastier milk.
Try adding a little vanilla, a pinch of sea salt or powdered cinnamon to your nut milk for a slightly different flavour.
