Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp brewed coffee
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of brewed coffee, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a mixing bowl, add the 1 cup of peanut butter. You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on your preference.
- Pour in the 2 tablespoons of brewed coffee. Make sure the coffee is cooled to room temperature to prevent the peanut butter from becoming too runny.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the bowl. This will add sweetness and enhance the flavor of the spread.
- Include 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. The vanilla will complement the coffee and peanut butter beautifully.
- Using a spatula or a whisk, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth. Ensure there are no lumps and that the coffee is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Taste the spread and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup according to your preference.
- Transfer the Coffee Peanut Butter Spread into an airtight container or a jar for storage.
- Refrigerate the spread for up to two weeks, if it lasts that long!
- Enjoy your Coffee Peanut Butter Spread on toast, pancakes, or as a dip for fruits and snacks.
Tips
- Coffee Choice Matters: Use freshly brewed, high-quality coffee for the most robust flavor. Let it cool completely before mixing to maintain the spread's perfect consistency.
- Peanut Butter Selection: Opt for natural, creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture, or choose crunchy for added texture and bite.
- Sweetness Control: Start with the recommended amount of honey or maple syrup, but feel free to adjust to your personal taste preference.
- Mixing Technique: Use a whisk or electric mixer for the smoothest, most homogeneous blend. Mix thoroughly to ensure no coffee or honey pockets remain.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Pro tip: Label with the date to track freshness.
- Serving Suggestions: Beyond toast, try this spread on pancakes, waffles, apple slices, or as a dip for pretzels for an unexpected flavor twist.
- Make Ahead: This spread can be prepared in advance and keeps well for up to two weeks, making it perfect for meal prep enthusiasts.
