ter into baby’s rice cereal, oatmeal or cooked barley cereal.
- Mix peanut butter into pancake or muffin batters (or try these Banana and Peanut Muffins – they’re easy to make, super-soft to eat and VERY yummy!)
- Blend peanut butter with frozen banana to make a simple, tasty banana ‘n peanut ice cream!
NOTE: Look for 100% peanut butter, preferably with no salt, sugar or preservatives. In other words, it should ideally be just peanuts!
This can be tricky to find, and quite expensive when you do!
Another option is to invest in a good blender and make your own nut butters. A blender capable of grinding nuts to a smooth paste can be quite an investment initially. Nevertheless, a powerful blender can take on a whole range of tasks in the kitchen (some even enable you to make your own flour!), so it might be an expense worth considering.
Best blenders for homemade nut butters
We use a Vitamix to make peanut butter, which we love but have to admit comes with a hefty price tag! Somewhat cheaper is the Blendtec Designer Series Blender which does an awesome job in preparing homemade peanut butter.
If that’s still above your price range, then we recommend the Ninja Blender 1200 which we have found to be great value for money and more powerful than other blenders in this price range.
