Pea-nut…peanut… buuuutter and COCONUT! I know that’s not what you are thinking, but coconut and peanut butter go SO WELL together. I venture to say that this Toasted Coconut Peanut Butter may even be better than the combo of pb and j. Yep, I said that!
The key to this coconut is that it is toasted. It adds a roasty toasty flavor that pairs spectacularly with the freshly ground peanuts. Don’t skip this step! Just brown your coconut flakes in a dry skillet. Yum, yum, yum!
Next, add your coconut, peanuts, and a little agave sweetener into a high speed blender and voilà… DONE!
If you have a quality blender, do not spend your hard earned money on expensive nut butters. It’s so EASY to make your own specialty peanut butters at home in less than 5 minutes.
This Toasted Coconut Peanut Butter is out of this world good. We love to use it in our smoothies for extra protein or just spread on a piece of toast. You really can’t go wrong. In fact, right now I’m thinking an apple dipped in coconut pb sounds like the perfect snack!
Hope you enjoy this homemade peanut butter as much as we do! Happy blending!
