Trying out the viral Beanut Butter recipe with my favorite natural sweetener, Natural Delights Medjool Dates!
This “peanut butter” made with beans and peanut powder is lower in fat and calories, but higher in fiber than typical peanut butter. Perfect for all my peanut butter lovers who feel 2 tbsp is simply not enough!
Macro breakdown:
Per ⅓ cup Beanut Butter: 150 calories, 1g fat, 5g fiber, 7g protein
VS.
Per 2 TBSP Peanut Butter: 190 calories, 16g fat, 3g fiber, 8g protein
Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup Great Northern Beans, rinsed
¼ cup powdered peanut butter
4 Natural Delights Medjool Dates, whole, pits removed
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
4 TBSP warm water, plus more as needed
Directions
To a small bowl, add 4 Natural Delights Medjool Dates (pits removed), and cover with very hot water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until dates are very soft.
To a small blender or food processor, add Great Northern Beans, soaked dates, ¼ cup powdered peanuts, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, a generous pinch of salt, and ¼ cup warm water.
Blend until completely smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times. You may also add more water by the tablespoon if you like a thinner consistency.
Enjoy how you would peanut butter!
