Hazelnuts

What Are Hazelnuts Used for in Baking?

Hazelnuts are among the healthiest nuts in the world. They are packed with antioxidants. You can enjoy hazelnuts on their own as a snack, but they are also delicious when incorporated into bakes. Think of a classic hazelnut meringue pastry, brownies with hazelnuts or a hearty muesli loaf.

Types of Hazelnuts in Our Webshop

Looking to buy hazelnuts? At Baktotaal, you will find a wide range:

• Roasted hazelnuts: ready-roasted for extra flavour and crunch.
• Lightly roasted hazelnuts: gently roasted so you can decide how intense the flavour will be in your bake.
• Hazelnut flour: finely ground, perfect for use in cake batter or biscuit dough.
• Finely chopped hazelnuts: convenient for mixing straight into dough, muesli or yoghurt without having to chop them yourself.
• Brown hazelnuts: with skin on, slightly more intense in flavour and wonderfully crunchy.
• Blanched hazelnuts: without skin, milder in flavour and ideal for light cakes or desserts.

Baking and Cooking with Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts add a delicious crunch and flavour to both sweet and savoury dishes. They are a classic choice for cakes, muffins or brownies. Add them to your yoghurt or porridge for a nutritious breakfast or make your own homemade hazelnut spread. Hazelnuts also work well in bread dough, especially when you choose finely chopped nuts that stay evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Health Benefits

In addition to their delicious taste, hazelnuts are also beneficial for your health. They contain healthy fats, fibre and protein, which contribute to a healthy heart, stable blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of inflammation. A handful of hazelnuts as a snack is therefore not only tasty but also nourishing. A great reason to include hazelnuts more often in your daily diet.

Combining Hazelnuts with Other Products

Hazelnuts are delicious when combined with other flavours and ingredients. Their nutty, creamy taste pairs perfectly with chocolate, caramel and coffee, making them a staple in cakes and desserts. Think of a chocolate and hazelnut cake or brownies with extra crunch. Hazelnuts also work beautifully with fruit, such as apples, pears or berries.
