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:
I only buy Egg Nog at Christmas (one bottle). I could drink the whole thing at one sitting if it weren’t for the fact that I like the kind with Bourbon already in it and a juice glass of it puts me right to sleep (a little built-in ‘Stop!”); strange because I am not a drinker. It is the taste combination that I love…
Then there’s Nutella, chocolate chip cookies (NOT the healthy version), brownies… there is a definite trend here that someone whose blog is called ‘Chocolate Covered Katie’ should be able to relate to…
This is great – it is just like a big bowl of decadence!
Yes this sweet dish is something I won’t be able to put down- yum!
Wow this looks absolutely amazing and simple. Thanks for sharing, gotta go get some coconut oil now..
Mmm sounds fantastic, I am going to give it a try replacing the peanut butter with tahini. Thanks for sharing it.
Wonderful but I think I made it even better. Used Coconut Manna instead of oil and added a chunk of dark chocolate and melted them together. Heavenly!

Like the ideas, you mean it took you how long to tell us about this good food. Looking forward to seeing other recipes of yours
Believe me, I have eaten the contents of a whole jar of peanut butter in one day. I’d do the same with almond butter but that really is too expensive not to be enjoyed slowly!
Thanks for posting this, I made it right away. I can tell it’s going to be a love/hate relationship! I love its awesome deliciousness and the health benefits, I hate that I have to ration myself. Either that or find something to eat it on.
I used almond butter and added some cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves. Tasted like gingerbread cookie butter!

My husband thought this would be great, so we made it for breakfast. He wanted to use honey, and once we got mixing, he got really excited! He added cacao & cacao nibs, and cinnamon, and ate it straight out of the pan (no leftovers!)
PS- I tweeted a picture in case you’re curious
I know you’re not exaggerating you peanut butter addiction because its mine too! I can easily spoon/shovel 1/3 jar of pb into mouth. You should try the Earth Balance Peanut and Coconut Spread soooo good!
Once I start eating dark chocolate, particularly Dove Dark Chocolate, I just can’t stop!!!
TRY BLISS DARK CHOCOLATES—-I THINK IT EVEN BETTER TASTING THAN DOVE’S…..I’VE WAITED ALL MY LIFE FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THAT CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!! (BIGGEST SMILE)
I just made this and me and my 7yr old are fighting over it! Very delish!
