Strawberry PB&J Butter

May 28, 2018 by Audra's Appetite 7 Comments

Your classic childhood sandwich redefined in this delicious nut butter! Bursting with both creamy, salty peanut butter and fruity, sweet strawberries, you won’t be able to stop eating this!

AND…we’re back with another nut butter recipe! I’m so excited for this one. Honestly, it rivals this honey roasted mixed nut butter, and that’s saying something. It’s currently my new favorite nub butter recipe (until I dream up something new next week, that is).

This is a one-and-done deal. A nut butter that has BOTH peanut butter and jelly flavors in just ONE spread?  It seems too good to be true. But it’s not. And, I can assure you, it is so simple to make! You can literally have this made, start to finish, in less than 10 minutes.

I truly believe you can never be too old for a good ‘ole classic PB&J. Fun fact: the peanut butter and jelly sandwich has been around since 1901 .  I’m sure you were dying to know this fact. Hey, it may come in handy someday if you’re ever on a game show trivia!

Supposedly, the first PB&J sandwich used currant or crab-apple jelly. Can’t say I’ve ever had either…and to be honest not sure I want to haha. But, this brings up the million dollar question: what is your favorite jelly or jam flavor??

 

Growing up, we always had grape jelly at home. I specifically remember the first time I had strawberry jam. I was visiting my grandparent’s farm in the summer, and picked fresh strawberries from their garden. My grandma and I then made a huge batch of freezer strawberry jam using the fresh garden strawberries. Such a fun, special memory I will always remember. Goodness, who knew a post about peanut butter of all things could bring up so many emotions!

Anyways, it forever converted me from grape jelly! It’s SO good. Honestly, it makes sense considering how strawberries are one of my favorite fruits and I’ve never cared for grapes as much.

Back to the recipe. You can use either a food processor or high-power blender for this recipe. And, it requires just 3 ingredients!! I love using peanuts that are already roasted and salted for simplicity, such as a cocktail peanut variety. I’ve easily found freeze-dried fruit in many grocery stores now these days. It’s so good straight from the bag! I love how it adds such a bold flavor to this recipe. Like I’ve mentioned, I prefer adding a tablespoon of neutral-flavored oil to the blender to make this nut butter extra creamy, even after being refrigerated.

As with any nut butter, this strawberry PB&J version is delicious on just about anything: toast, fruit, smoothie bowls, with yogurt and granola, dark chocolate, and literally by the spoonful are some of my top favorites.

Hope you try this and love it as much as I do! Tell me, what is your favorite jelly/jam flavor? And what are some of your favorite ways to eat nut butter? 🙂

Author: Audra's Appetite
Recipe type: Nut butter, condiment
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 heaping cup
Ingredients
  • 2 cups roasted and salted peanuts (I used cocktail peanuts)
  • 1 package (1 ounce) freeze dried strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon neutral flavored oil (canola, vegetable, etc.)
Instructions
  1. Add peanuts to a food processor or high-speed blender (such as a Vitamix). Process until a nut butter forms, then add in strawberries and tablespoon of oil and blend until creamy and smooth.
  2. This will take a total of approximately 3-5 minutes if using a Vitamix, but may take up to 10-15 minutes if using a food processor. Store in fridge to keep fresh.
Notes
I have personally found freeze-dried strawberries at Aldi, Kroger, and Target. They are likely at other grocery stores as well!

      Hi! So unfortunately fresh stawberries won’t be a good substitute due to their high water content; you won’t get the proper consistency. Fresh strawberries also won’t add as much flavor. I’ve found freeze dried strawberries easily for a couple dollars/bag at every major grocery store around though! Usually in the produce section or nut aisle.
