Homemade Peanut butter with only one ingredient- peanuts.
Is peanut butter an acquired taste? I remember trying it as a child and not liking it at all. Maybe it was too new of a texture and taste back then, but now I am obsessed with it. I love adding my homemade sugarless peanut butter with apples and bananas to my oat bowl.
But we can't make everything we eat, eat, constantly living in fear of artificial additives and colors, but there are certain things like peanut butter and almond butter which are just plain stupid to make, and there is absolutely no need for us to spend money on buying these.
This Homemade Sugarless Peanut Butter takes 20 minutes from start to finish to make, and it lasts a good 3-4 weeks in the fridge.
What's the best thing about making Homemade Sugarless Peanut Butter is that it doesn't need any added sugar or oil. You can make homemade peanut butter cups and easy, healthy peanut butter cookies or your everyday PB&J that are not loaded with extra sugar and bad oil.
Once you have this base recipe down, you can eat it in so many ways. Have you ever tried Date Snickers? They make for a perfect snack.
Or make this peanut butter pie.Gosh, it's so good!
