New-tella (Chocolate Hazelnut Butter)

When I saw this recipe at Satisfying Eats, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! I couldn't wait to try it! And it did not disappoint. Here is my Blendtec-adapted version:

Roast 1 cup of hazelnuts for 12-15 minutes at 350*.

Place roasted nuts on a clean towel and rub vigorously to remove as much of the skins as possible.
Place warm hazelnuts in Blendtec Twister Jar and press SPEED UP button to speed 7. Run full cycle while twisting scraper lid.
Then add:

1/4 cup + 2 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 Tbs. butter, salted
1/2 cup + 2 Tbs. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbs. raw honey or 2 packets of stevia
1/8 tsp. stevia

Blend on MULTI-USE setting for full cycle.

Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for about 1 week. (If it lasts that long!)

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Add to Blendtec mixing bowl in this order:

1 1/2 tsp. yeast
2 Tbs. sugar
2 cups warm water

Allow to sit for up to 10 minutes. Then add:

1 Tbs. coconut oil
1 Tbs. salt
3 Tbs. sugar
6 3/4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups raisins

Blend on BREAD setting until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Then press AUTO KNEAD.

Add 1 Tbs. cinnamon and run AUTO KNEAD setting again.

Roll the dough into a ball and place in a bowl, oiled with coconut oil. Turn to coat, cover and allow to rise 1 hour in a cold oven.

Cut dough into thirds and roll into ropes. Cut each rope into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Punch thumb through the middle to make a hole then carefully stretch hole until it's quarter size.

Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.

Fill a 4 quart saucepan 2/3 full with water, add 1 Tbs. sugar and 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil. Drop 2 or 3 bagels into boiling water and cook for 30 seconds; turn over and cook for another 30 seconds.

Carefully lift each bagel out with a slotted spoon and drain.

Place a casserole half full of water on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 450*.

Bake for 10 minutes, then turn cookie sheet and flip bagels over. Bake another 10-12 minutes.
