Easy Peanut Butter Recipes

It’s National Peanut Butter Day – here is a collection of the best peanut butter recipes to celebrate the day!

Peanut butter is a budget-friendly pantry staple.  You can use peanut butter in savory, sweet, or spicy dishes.  Peanut butter is highly nutritious as well, particularly if you purchase all-natural peanut butter with no added sugars, oils, or additives.   Natural peanut butter contains peanuts and salt.

Peanut butter is comprised of about 25% protein, making it an excellent plant-based source of protein.   Peanuts are low in carbs, making peanut butter a great alternative for low-carb diets.   While peanut butter is high in fat, when eaten in moderation, it is a good source of healthy fats.

See below for recipes using peanut butter that you can make using pantry staples in addition to some fresh veggies.
