Sugar Free Peanut Butter Heaven Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1/3 cup sugar substitute (such as erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia—adjust according to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, adjust based on your preference)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolatey twist)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and salt. If you’re using cocoa powder for a chocolate flavor, add it in as well.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. You can use a spoon or an electric mixer for ease.
- Once mixed, you can either scoop the mixture into small balls or spread it into a lined baking dish and smooth it flat for bar-style treats.
- If rolling into balls, place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- If making bars, refrigerate for about an hour before cutting into squares.
- Enjoy your heavenly sugar-free treats straight from the fridge, or store them in an airtight container!
Tips for Success
- For a creamier texture, feel free to warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for easier mixing.
- Store your treats in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to keep them fresh and firm.
- These treats are also fantastic as a topping on yogurt or oatmeal for an extra peanut butter kick!
