Why I Love Cooking with Peanut Butter
I’m a big peanut butter fan and eat it almost every day! Here’s why I love it:
- Budget-friendly – in comparison to other kinds of nut butter which can cost upwards of $10 a jar, peanut butter is typically around $4 or $5 and can easily be found cheaper than that, especially if you make your own!
- Versatile – peanut butter has a subtly nutty flavor that pairs well with a variety of sweet and savory dishes. As a result, it can be used in everything from morning smoothies to after dinner desserts.
Tips for Purchasing Peanut Butter
When it comes to buying peanut butter, not all jars are the same. Here are my tips for finding the most nutritious options with the best taste and texture so all your recipes turn out amazing:
- Avoid added ingredients – many peanut butter options contain lots of added ingredients like sugar and hydrogenated oils. The only ingredients should be peanuts and salt.
Or, you can just make your own homemade peanut butter instead so you always know exactly what goes into it!
Is It Cheaper to Make Your Own Peanut Butter
Of course, it depends on a lot of factors like where you live, the specific peanut butter you’re buying, and what ingredients you use. However, in general, making your own peanut butter is much more cost-effective than buying it from the store, especially when you purchase your peanuts in bulk!
