Vegan Peanut Butter Chips Recipe

Introduction

These vegan peanut butter chips are a simple and delicious treat, perfect for adding a nutty, sweet twist to your snacks or desserts. Made with just a few ingredients, they’re easy to prepare and satisfy peanut butter cravings without any dairy.

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons sweetener (such as maple syrup or agave)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, gently melt the peanut butter, coconut oil, and sweetener together over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and combined.
2. Step 2: Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off, then pipe small chip shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Step 3: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the chips for at least 30 minutes, or until firm and solid.
4. Step 4: Once frozen, remove the chips from the parchment and store them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to use.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt or a drop of vanilla extract to the melted mixture before piping.
• If you prefer sweeter chips, increase the sweetener slightly, tasting as you go.
• Try using almond butter or sunflower seed butter as a substitute for peanut butter to change up the flavor.
• Keep your piping bag refrigerated before use to help shape the chips more easily.

Storage

Store your peanut butter chips in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To use, take out the desired amount and let them soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying. Avoid storing at room temperature, as they will become soft and lose their shape.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of liquid sweetener?

Regular granulated sugar won’t melt smoothly in this recipe and may create a grainy texture. It’s best to use liquid sweeteners like maple syrup, agave, or even a mild-flavored syrup for a smooth consistency.

Are these chips suitable for nut allergies?

This recipe uses peanut butter, which is not suitable for those with nut allergies. However, you can substitute sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative that still works well.

Peanut Butter Mixture

• 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons sweetener (such as maple syrup, agave nectar, or coconut sugar)

Instructions

1. Melt Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, coconut oil, and sweetener. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, ensuring all ingredients are well combined without overheating.
2. Pipe into Chips: Transfer the melted mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pipe small chip-sized drops of the mixture, spacing them evenly for easy removal once frozen.
3. Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the peanut butter chips for at least 1 hour or until they are fully set and firm to the touch. Once frozen, transfer the chips to an airtight container and keep refrigerated or frozen until ready to use.

Notes

• Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the best texture and flavor.
• The sweetener amount can be adjusted to taste or omitted for a less sweet chip.
• You can substitute coconut oil with vegan butter or another neutral oil if preferred.
• Store chips in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month to keep them fresh and firm.
• These chips work great as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or in baking recipes that call for chocolate chips.
