Meet My Peanutella

When you’re in the mood for some chocolate goodness, meet my joyful “Peanutella” delivers a creamy, dreamy chocolate-PB spread that’s ridiculously easy to whip up. Made with powdered peanut butter and cocoa, it provides rich, fudgy flavor with a nice boost of protein… I’ve been making this for years and my house is officially hooked.

For this recipe, I slather the velvety spread onto crisp whole-grain toast and decorate with whatever fruit is on hand. Top one slice with banana for that classic chocolate-PB magic, another with sliced strawberries for a chocolate-covered-strawberry moment, and another with blueberries for juicy pops in every bite. Or mix, match and pile on all three (there are no rules here!).

Chocolate for Breakfast? Absolutely.

I could tell you this one is for the kiddos, but who are we kidding? Grown-ups deserve a little chocolate fun in the morning, too! And when chocolate comes paired with nourishing ingredients like whole grains, fruit, nuts, seeds and protein, there’s plenty to feel good about.

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 to 8 tablespoons water

  • 1 slice whole grain toast
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread
  • Fresh fruit of choice, such as sliced banana, sliced strawberries, blueberries, or a combination
Ingredient Details to Know
*If you don’t have powdered peanut butter see recipe in directions for using traditional creamy peanut butter. Check powdered PB to make sure it’s a gluten and dairy free brand if you have dietary restrictions. 

Instructions
 

Make the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread

  • Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If it’s too stiff and thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons additional water and continue to stir until you reach a spreadable-velvety consistency.
  • If using creamy peanut butter, soften ¼ cup peanut butter in microwave (about 30 seconds) and then stir in 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons sugar, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix until smooth and well-blended. Add a 3rd tablespoon water if it’s too thick.

Build the toast

  • Top your whole grain toast with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chocoalte-pb spread and layer with fruit of choice.
