Nut Butters – A New Dimension in Using Nuts
Does Nutella need an introduction? A childhood (and adulthood?) favorite for breakfast, a classic pancake filling, a beloved treat. But what about the ingredients? Sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts (13%), milk powder, cocoa powder, etc... Although it's sold as a hazelnut spread, based on its ingredients, it would be more accurate to call it a palm oil-sugar cream or sugary palm fat. Nutella contains a whopping 56% sugar! And only 13% hazelnuts…
We thought we could do better than that. At Mendula, we’re obsessed with hazelnuts, so we wanted to create a product where the hazelnut flavor really shines—not the palm oil. The formula is simple: we don’t use any artificial flavors, so that rich hazelnut taste comes from a high hazelnut content :)
Our Mendula Hazelnut Cream Deluxe contains 78% hazelnuts, with only honey and Belgian cocoa powder added—nothing suspicious. If you follow a vegan diet or just don’t like honey, try our Vegan Edition, made with coconut sugar instead. That’s it: just three ingredients, and you have a delicious and healthy hazelnut cream. This product became so popular that we didn’t stop there. We also created nut butters from almonds, cashews, and walnuts, which are incredibly versatile!
No need to explain this, right? :) One pancake, one tablespoon of Hazelnut Cream Deluxe, two pancakes, two tablespoons... And if you want the vegan version, just go with our Hazelnut Cream Deluxe – Vegan Edition! That’s how easy it is to make a healthy dessert for kids :) Forget Nutella... You just need to cook the pancakes, we’ve already prepared the filling!
Plant-based milk in just 1 minute. Use almond butter for almond milk, hazelnut butter for hazelnut milk, or cashew butter for cashew milk. One tablespoon of almond butter, 300 ml water, a dash of honey/maple syrup, and a hand blender—that’s all! You can even make a chocolate hazelnut milk with our Hazelnut Cream Deluxe. Not only is it tastier and faster than the store-bought versions, it’s also much cheaper. Not to mention the real nut content...
And of course, the forever favorite—oatmeal—can't be left out. A healthy breakfast has never been easier or quicker to prepare. Whether with water, milk, or plant milk, there’s always room for a big spoonful of nut butter! Almond butter, Hazelnut butter, or Hazelnut Cream Deluxe—any of them will elevate your breakfast to a whole new level. Bonus: your breakfast gets a healthy protein boost thanks to the nuts :) A bowl of oats, a spoonful of nut butter, loads of fruit toppings, maybe a handful of crunchy coconut flakes, Mendula granola, toasted nuts—and you’ve got yourself an amazing, delicious, and healthy start to the day.
Looking for a good homemade Nutella recipe? We’ve got you covered! If you want to make your own hazelnut spread, just mix melted chocolate with our plain hazelnut butter. It’s healthy, delicious, and even kids can enjoy it by the spoonful. Some prefer it with milk chocolate, others go for 80% dark—just don’t be surprised by the intense hazelnut flavor!
