This recipe is CRAZY addictive.
One taste and you won’t be able to think of anything else.
Yet it only takes about 30 seconds to make.
With no refined sugar… and it’s high in iron, calcium, and protein!
I wasn’t initially planning to post the recipe, as it’s almost too easy and you don’t even need to measure anything – it’s pretty difficult to mess this one up. However there was such an overwhelming number of requests when I mentioned it in my post on “Why I gave up running” that—as promised—I’ve gone ahead and measured the ingredients so as to come up with an actual “recipe” for this crazy addictive peanut butter spread that will have you reaching back into the jar again and again until suddenly there is none left!
Black Magic Peanut Butter
(3 ingredients)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (I like While Foods 365 crunchy)
- 2 1/2 tbsp blackstrap molasses (or other liquid sweetener of choice)
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil (for coconut-free version, see nutrition link below)
Melt the oil if it is not already in a liquid state. Then stir all ingredients together until they are fully blended. If a fudge-like texture is desired, freeze 15 minutes. Otherwise eat as desired, refrigerating leftovers… if there are any!
Question of the Day:
Are there any foods that, once you start, you’re unable to stop eating?
For me, that food would be peanut butter. My comment in a previous post that I could eat 1/3 of a jar in a single sitting was met with skepticism, but this is not an exaggeration! For others, that food might be potato chips or candy… I also know quite a few people who consider Oreo cookies to be their kryptonite.
Link Of The Day:
Ran to make this the minute I read the recipe and was sad to see that I had no coconut oil….but I had lots of coconut butter! Since my pb is smooth I added a couple of small handfuls of chopped peanuts. Then I noticed some 85% Belgium chocolate in the cupboard so added 2 small chopped squares. It turned out pretty thick so I made little balls and rolled them in chia seeds. What a treat! You are inspiring CCK!
Bread with butter on it is my kryptonite:) that, and peanut butter cups.
Hello, new favorite food! Thanks for posting this Katie =-)
As I currently sitting here eating it by the spoonful, I definitely have to agree that peanut butter is my favorite food. The good homemade stuff from the farmer’s market or Whole Foods… notice we all seem to love peanut butter, perhaps that’s why we love your website!
If I don’t finish the jar of pb sitting next to me, then I can’t wait to make this recipe!
Right now, it’s coconut butter (it’s addicting). At a close second is brown rice.
I just made this and it is DELICIOUS! I made it with sunflower seed butter rather than peanut butter. Sunflower seed butter and almond butter are definitely my “can’t get enough” foods.
Wow, this looks so rich and gooey and buttery. Only three ingredients? you are my hero! :)The one thing I can’t stop eating if I start is grapes.. mmm grapes.
Coincidentally, I had already shared my Black Magic Bars recipe on my gfe Facebook page. However, the moment I saw this magical spread of yours, Katie, I had to share it on FB and my AllGlutenFreeDesserts.com site! Can’t wait to try it, and I bet the recipe would work great with almond butter, too. 🙂
xo,
Shirley
Thank you so so much, Shirley!! I will go off to see about your black magic bars now ;).
Yumm, I’ll try that.
I have a similar recipe that I am also addicted to: raw almond butter (crunchy is awesome!), raw honey, and cacao butter. Soooooo good! Could eat half a jar in a sitting. =]
Yum! My (5) kids & I just ate this up for dessert! Super easy – of course they all loved it on whole grain toast. I just picked up molasses at the health food store yesterday- perfect timing. Nutella is the one food not allowed around me bc it instantly disappears.
Just made this and…wow….
This is good. Very good. I added a little more molasses, mine was nowhere near as dark as yours, it still isn’t, but it’s tasted about right, I think much more and I wouldn’t be able to taste the peanut better much.
I gave some to my son to try, he loves peanut butter and often just wants plain molasses on toast for breakfast. He loved it and had it on toast for lunch. I have the rest in the fridge to cool down. It’s so hot here that this was the first time I could actually pour my coconut oil out, usually I have to gouge bits out with a spoon or even sit it in a bowl of water to be able to do that.
PANETTONE! We get one every year and I eat almost my body weight in it. (Well, maybe a little less…)
It is completely delicious and addictive and surely it can’t be bad for me, it’s Italian!
I first saw this and I was like– ohhhhhhh godd eww.. what is that..
and it got me thinking sort of naughty- what if you mixed in some pureed spinach in there? It would look totally gross but would still taste amazing. I’d totally gorge on that for halloween 😉
Katie!
I just made this!! I used trader joe’s organic creamy and salted peanut butter with blackstrap molasses and coconut oil. It was amazing!!! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Is 11:09pm too late to make this? It looks incredibly delicious!!!
