Peanut Butter
Peanut butter (barring nut allergies) has a place in any healthy diet and in my PLANT BASED BAKING. The most important part to indulging in peanut butter is finding a clean brand that doesn't come with a slew of chemicals, preservatives, or partially hydrogenated oils. My rule is...👩🏻🍳only 1 ingredient= 🥜 peanuts! Approximately 35% of peanut butter's total weight is from protein, making it one of the better sources of non-meat protein. Plus, peanut and all nut butters pack a lot of nutrition into such a little amount of food. And, because peanut butter can make you feel fuller faster, you don't tend to eat a lot. So, enjoy peanut and other nut butters in your healthy baking projects. Check out my Triple Peanut Cream Bars for the ultimate peanut experience.
We recommend the SantaCruzOrganics brand (of course, because we like to support local businesses!). Trader Joe’s offers a great value as well.
