]]> Peanut butter is one of the most popular spreads on the market, and you can find it in pretty much every grocery store. That shouldn’t stop you from trying to make your own because homemade peanut butter comes with a long list of benefits–starting with these three.

Easy to Make

Making homemade peanut butter may seem like a waste of time because you can buy it everywhere, but it’s actually pretty quick and easy. Peanuts, honey, and a pinch of salt are usually all you need to make delicious peanut butter, and it will be done in a matter of seconds or minutes, depending on the strength of your blender.

Avoiding Unhealthy Ingredients

Peanut butter may be healthier than sugar-rich chocolatey spreads, but it still has its downsides. Once you carefully inspect the labels, you’ll notice that peanut butter is packed with unhealthy oils, artificial sweeteners and flavorings, and an abundance of salt and sugar.

Staying in Control

You won’t have to worry about these unhealthy ingredients when making your own peanut butter. You’ll be able to stay in control of the ingredients being used and avoid unhealthy add-ins. You can also make your peanut butter as crunchy or creamy as you like it, or use some extra ingredients to enhance its flavor.

]]> Making natural peanut butter at home is easier than you may think. And once you try it, you may never go back to the store-bought version. The freshness is hard to compete with. Plus, you can create your perfect texture, from extra crunchy to silky smooth. 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of roasted unsalted peanuts (you can use raw peanuts if preferred)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Spread the peanuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them for approximately 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. If using roasted unsalted peanuts, skip this step.
  2. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a high-powered food processor or blender. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a bit of oil at this stage. Also, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor if desired.
  3. Start blending the peanuts at a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Depending on the power of your blender or food processor, it may take several minutes.
  4. Check the consistency of the peanut butter. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more oil and continue blending until you reach the texture you want. 
  5. Transfer the freshly made peanut butter into an airtight jar or container and enjoy.

]]> Are you ready to take your snacking game to the next level? Look no further than the irresistible world of peanut butter dip! Creamy, nutty, and oh-so-delicious, this dip is the perfect companion for your favorite fruits, crackers, or even a spoonful straight from the jar. Get ready to embark on a flavor adventure as we dive into the simple steps of creating your peanut butter dip masterpiece.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Whip It Up

In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Give it a good stir until all the ingredients are well blended. The Greek yogurt adds a creamy tang to the dip, while the honey provides a touch of natural sweetness. Feel free to adjust the honey to your desired level of sweetness.

Get Creative with Add-Ins

While the classic peanut butter dip is already a winner, you can take it up a notch by adding your favorite mix-ins. Get creative and try:

  • Chopped nuts: Add some crunch and extra nutty flavor with a handful of chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts.
  • Chocolate chips: For a touch of indulgence, sprinkle in some mini chocolate chips or gently fold in some melted dark chocolate for a sinfully delicious twist.
  • Cinnamon or cocoa powder: Add a hint of warmth and spice with a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder. Experiment with different spices to suit your taste buds.

Dive into Dipping

It’s time to grab your dippers! Sliced apples, celery sticks, pretzels, graham crackers, or even carrot sticks all make fantastic companions for this creamy creation. Dip, swirl, and savor each bite as the flavors dance on your taste buds.

]]> When compared to most other popular spreads, peanut butter is pretty healthy, but it still contains high amounts of fat, sodium, and calories. If you can’t imagine cutting it from your diet, here are three tips you should embrace to develop a healthier relationship with peanut butter.

Label Check

Peanut butter is extremely popular so you can choose between countless brands when buying it at your local supermarket. To make the right pick, check the labels every time so you could pick peanut butter that contains natural peanuts and doesn’t use too much sugar, salt, and added oils.

Eat in Moderation

Peanut butter may be healthier than other spreads, but that doesn’t mean you should eat it in unlimited quantities. Moderation is key when it comes to consuming it because it has high fat and calorie content and that’s why you should never go overboard.

Homemade Version

The healthiest possible peanut butter isn’t the one you’ll find at the store, but the one you make on your own. Making homemade peanut butter leaves you in total control of the ingredients you’re using, making it possible to skip unhealthy add-ins and make it as healthy as it gets.

]]> If you don’t already have powdered peanut butter in your pantry, it’s time to get some. Not only is it healthier than regular peanut butter, but it’s also much more versatile. There are tons of ways to use it in your cooking and here are five we have to share with you.

PB&J

The most obvious way to use powdered peanut butter is to make a PB&J. Mix two tablespoons of the powder with water until you get the desired consistency. Add your favorite jelly and put the spreads on bread.

Smoothie or Milkshake

Take your smoothies or milkshakes to the next level with powdered peanut butter. Next time you’re making a frozen drink, throw in some powdered peanut butter.

Popsicles

Make delicious popsicles by mixing 1/2 a cup of powdered peanut butter, 2 cups of frozen bananas, and 1 cup of yogurt. Blend and then divide the mixture into popsicle molds and put them in the freezer.

Oatmeal

Add a few tablespoons of powdered peanut butter to your oatmeal for a treat that tastes almost too good for breakfast. To take it to the next level, add some dark chocolate chips.

Baked Goods

Baked goods are better with peanut butter and powdered peanut butter can be added to the dry ingredients. Plus, it mixes in better than normal peanut butter.

Why not try your peanut butter as a kitchen “swiss army knife?” Its uses and utility are endless, as these three creative uses for peanut butter demonstrate.

Fruit Dip

Fruit goes great with peanut butter, and we love using it as a dip for slices of fruit. Two of our favorite fruits to eat with peanut butter are apples and bananas, both of which are easily sliced and whose flavors are enhanced by the creamy spread.

Crepe Filling

Nutella and chocolate-filled crepes are all the rage these days, so why not try a little bit of peanut butter inside your next batch? We love melting peanut butter and then sticking it inside of these thin French pancakes as a special treat.

Ice Cream Topping

Hear us out on this one! Peanut butter actually works great as a topping for ice cream if you know which flavors to use it with. Adding a modest amount of peanut butter to a bowl of dark chocolate or vanilla ice cream is a fantastic idea, but maybe don’t try it with lemon sorbet!

]]> Are you ready to take your snacking game to the next level? Look no further than the irresistible world of peanut butter dip! Creamy, nutty, and oh-so-delicious, this dip is the perfect companion for your favorite fruits, crackers, or even a spoonful straight from the jar. Get ready to embark on a flavor adventure as we dive into the simple steps of creating your peanut butter dip masterpiece.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Whip It Up

In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Give it a good stir until all the ingredients are well blended. The Greek yogurt adds a creamy tang to the dip, while the honey provides a touch of natural sweetness. Feel free to adjust the honey to your desired level of sweetness.

Get Creative with Add-Ins

While the classic peanut butter dip is already a winner, you can take it up a notch by adding your favorite mix-ins. Get creative and try:

  • Chopped nuts: Add some crunch and extra nutty flavor with a handful of chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts.
  • Chocolate chips: For a touch of indulgence, sprinkle in some mini chocolate chips or gently fold in some melted dark chocolate for a sinfully delicious twist.
  • Cinnamon or cocoa powder: Add a hint of warmth and spice with a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder. Experiment with different spices to suit your taste buds.

Dive into Dipping

It’s time to grab your dippers! Sliced apples, celery sticks, pretzels, graham crackers, or even carrot sticks all make fantastic companions for this creamy creation. Dip, swirl, and savor each bite as the flavors dance on your taste buds.

]]> When compared to most other popular spreads, peanut butter is pretty healthy, but it still contains high amounts of fat, sodium, and calories. If you can’t imagine cutting it from your diet, here are three tips you should embrace to develop a healthier relationship with peanut butter.

Label Check

Peanut butter is extremely popular so you can choose between countless brands when buying it at your local supermarket. To make the right pick, check the labels every time so you could pick peanut butter that contains natural peanuts and doesn’t use too much sugar, salt, and added oils.

Eat in Moderation

Peanut butter may be healthier than other spreads, but that doesn’t mean you should eat it in unlimited quantities. Moderation is key when it comes to consuming it because it has high fat and calorie content and that’s why you should never go overboard.

Homemade Version

The healthiest possible peanut butter isn’t the one you’ll find at the store, but the one you make on your own. Making homemade peanut butter leaves you in total control of the ingredients you’re using, making it possible to skip unhealthy add-ins and make it as healthy as it gets.

]]> If you don’t already have powdered peanut butter in your pantry, it’s time to get some. Not only is it healthier than regular peanut butter, but it’s also much more versatile. There are tons of ways to use it in your cooking and here are five we have to share with you.

PB&J

The most obvious way to use powdered peanut butter is to make a PB&J. Mix two tablespoons of the powder with water until you get the desired consistency. Add your favorite jelly and put the spreads on bread.

Smoothie or Milkshake

Take your smoothies or milkshakes to the next level with powdered peanut butter. Next time you’re making a frozen drink, throw in some powdered peanut butter.

Popsicles

Make delicious popsicles by mixing 1/2 a cup of powdered peanut butter, 2 cups of frozen bananas, and 1 cup of yogurt. Blend and then divide the mixture into popsicle molds and put them in the freezer.

Oatmeal

Add a few tablespoons of powdered peanut butter to your oatmeal for a treat that tastes almost too good for breakfast. To take it to the next level, add some dark chocolate chips.

Baked Goods

Baked goods are better with peanut butter and powdered peanut butter can be added to the dry ingredients. Plus, it mixes in better than normal peanut butter.

]]> Who doesn’t love a good dose of peanut butter? This creamy treat is best known as a sandwich filling, but the possibilities for peanut butter go way beyond the classic PB&J.

Why not try your peanut butter as a kitchen “swiss army knife?” Its uses and utility are endless, as these three creative uses for peanut butter demonstrate.

Fruit Dip

Fruit goes great with peanut butter, and we love using it as a dip for slices of fruit. Two of our favorite fruits to eat with peanut butter are apples and bananas, both of which are easily sliced and whose flavors are enhanced by the creamy spread.

Crepe Filling

Nutella and chocolate-filled crepes are all the rage these days, so why not try a little bit of peanut butter inside your next batch? We love melting peanut butter and then sticking it inside of these thin French pancakes as a special treat.

Ice Cream Topping

Hear us out on this one! Peanut butter actually works great as a topping for ice cream if you know which flavors to use it with. Adding a modest amount of peanut butter to a bowl of dark chocolate or vanilla ice cream is a fantastic idea, but maybe don’t try it with lemon sorbet!

Pecans
