I used to LOVE peanut butter: on pancakes, in cookies, chicken stews or just by itself. It was often one of my pre-workout snacks. However, here are a few reasons why you may want to avoid peanut butter like I do now:
- you are trying to eat as little carbs as possible
- you are following a paleo lifestyle
- you are allergic to peanuts
You can either try Coconut Butter, which has the least net carbs and most fiber from all nut butters - yes, coconut is technically not a nut :-) If you prefer a more "nutty" flavor, you will love this recipe. Just for comparison, Coconut & Pecan Butter has about half the carbs of unsweetened peanut butter!
Top tip: Toasting and baking the coconut & pecans for 5-8 minutes adds a beautiful flavour boost, plus it helps with the blending as the oils that are released with heat make the butter runnier.
Update: Since I got my new Kenwood mixer with a food processor attachment, I don't use anything else to make nut and seed butter. It's strong, doesn't overheat and takes just a few minutes to make smooth nut butter!
