Be it for breakfast or evening snacks or even for mid-day munchings and hunger pangs, peanut butter spread becomes our saviour. Spread it on a toast and you are good to go! Instead of normal butter, peanut butter is much healthier and a good source of proteins, vitamins and dietary minerals. This nut butter is commonly used to make PB and J, (Peanut butter and jelly/jam) sandwiches. It can also be used in several dishes like granola, smoothies, crepes, cookies, brownies or even croissants. Children often do not like the taste of peanuts and prefer chocolate spreads. So, what can you do in such circumstances? Well, you can make delicious yet healthy chocolate-flavoured peanut butter right at home which all can enjoy. Here are the ingredients you will need to make this recipe:
2 cups of peanuts
1/2 cup of sugar
4 teaspoons of cocoa powder
2 teaspoons of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Steps to make the recipe:
The first step is to roast the peanuts properly as it enhances the nutty flavour. You will need a heavy-bottomed pan and then roast the nuts for about 10-12 minutes. Let them cool down.
Once it cools down, peel off the skins and let the peanuts cool down.
Take a mixer and grind the nuts into a fine powder. As you continue to grind, add coconut oil and pulse for an additional five minutes. Keep pulsing till you get a thick and creamy consistency of the peanut butter.
At this point, your creamy nut butter will need more ingredients to enhance its flavour. So, add half a cup of sugar, four teaspoons of cocoa powder and a teaspoon of vanilla essence to the nut butter.
Mix it till everything is combined properly. You can store the peanut butter immediately in a glass container. Or you can let it cool down completely and then store in a cool and dry place for later use.
Now, everyone in your household will be able to enjoy the flavourful chocolate-flavoured peanut butter.
