Who doesn’t love a generous spoonful of peanut butter?
We all get a delightful satisfaction in scooping out a glob of creamy peanut butter.
Sometimes it’s to spread on other food items. Bananas and whole wheat bread are my favorites.
Other times, it’s for your favorite dessert recipe, like 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies.
The most memorable moments are those when you scrape it from the jar and eat it plain. Nutty goodness rushes to your taste buds. A satisfying earthy flavor takes over. The peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth and the spoon
You just can’t help yourself. It’s too delicious.
And then you feel guilty. Why a Nutless nut butter?
Most peanut butters have added oil and sugar. Both add empty calories that contribute

An alternative you could eat guilt-free. One that was low fat and free of added oil and refined-sugar.
You think I’m lying. ‘There’s no such thing,’ you scoff.
Oh, how wrong you are.
I’ve created a healthy, low fat nut butter recipe that’s absolutely delicious. It’s as addicting as peanut butter and you can eat as much of it as you want.
I found the need to create this recipe from searching through Pinterest. There are so many recipes that involve peanut butter.
Sure, they’re all scrumptious. I can’t deny that. But they’re also high fat. And most peanut butters have the dreaded added oil and sugar.
I knew this was a recipe I needed to create. Not just for me and my husband (he’s a peanut butter lover, too). For everybody who wants to stop feeling regret for enjoying a spoonful of something delicious, nutty and sweet. Testing the recipe
I admit, this recipe was challenging. I ended up trialing this recipe six times.
The first time I attempted a peanut butter alternative was March 21st. I had a concrete idea of what I wanted to put into my peanut butter alternative to make it low fat, creamy and nutty. The two main ingredients were going to be:
• Chickpeas
• Toasted flax

The second and third were complete failures. The rice, quinoa and chickpeas burned to the bottom of my pressure cooker. Twice.
The fourth trial was an overcorrection. Too much water. Yet since this trial was edible, I could taste I was on the right path. It had the nutty aftertaste I was looking for.
The winning trial was trial five. Creamy yet slightly chunky and salty, nutty and sweet.
My husband declared it wasn’t peanut butter.
He was right; it wasn’t peanut butter. However, it was healthy, low fat, nutty and addictive to eat.
I completed a sixth trial. That trial confirmed the previous version was the best.
I’m sure you’re ready for the recipe.
Here it is! Recipe

Now here comes a tricky area, remember that spoon I told you to pull out, this is where it can become useful so listen close, for those who are watching their weight, counting calories or even watching their fat, use the cupped part of the spoon to get a tablespoon of peanut butter out and smear this on the bread, it will stick to the spoon so you may need to use your finger to get the rest of the peanut butter off the spoon….now pop peanut butter finger in mouth and lick off…. Sorry just being funny. For those who really don’t care how much goes on the bread, pick up the butter knife, dip it in the peanut butter and pull out as much as you would like and smear it on the bread also. Now with the flat part of the spoon and the flat edge of the knife, smear that peanut butter around so that all the bread is covered, keep spreading out, great!

We will need the following ingredients: 1c. of brown sugar, 1c. of white sugar, 1c. of margarine or butter, 1c. of peanut butter, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp. of baking soda, 1/4 tsp. of salt, 2 tsp. of vanilla, 3 cups of flour, and 1/2 cup of white sugar.
Tip: If the peanut butter is too hard to spread on the piece of bread without tearing. Put the peanut butter in a bowl and microwave it for 10-20 seconds to aid in the ease of spreading.
So, consider food items such as room temperature scrambled eggs, chicken, beef, fish, and nut butter like almond and peanut. Consider the spices put into the food and the consistency, depending on how much a person can take.
The FDA has allowed pistachios, and other nuts, to claim that they may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Pistachios reduce lipoproteins and therefore reduce the risk of clogged arteries which can reduce blood flow and cause heart problems. So we can say that pistachios lower cholesterol levels, most importantly LDL, which reduce risk of heart disease.
You will need to prepare ¾ cup of peanut butter, seed butter or almond butter, 2 tablespoons of unrefined coconut oil (set at room temperature), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate (bars or chips). You can double the ingredients as you like, since 24 cups will surely not be enough because this tastes so good.
Credibility: This recipe I got it from my sister and has been one of the family things we do when we go to visit someone or get non expected gests and I am now a use to make them when I’m on rash.
In my opinion the modified recipe tasted much better while being healthier with significantly less calories and fats. I substituted sugar and white rice with brown sugar and brown rice while completely removing vegetable oil form the recipe. Furthermore, once I removed the vegetable oil from the recipe I decided to grill the chicken instead of sautéing it with oil and to steam my vegetables instead of sautéing them. Therefore, with a few minor changes I was able to eat healthier while keeping the taste even making the recipe taste and look better. This is a recipe that I will definitely make again because it was much better than the original and I would not have thought to change the recipe if it was not for this assignment.
