IF you go potty for peanut butter, try using the cupboard staple for more than toast.
As today is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day, now is the perfect time.
Spread the love with these tasty ideas.
DOG TREATS: Did you know you can use peanut butter to make treats for your pup?
Just make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol, a sugar substitute found in some brands, which is harmful to dogs.
Mix together two cups of flour, half a cup of peanut butter and two eggs.
Then add a little water to bind together as a dough.
Roll out the mixture and cut shapes — a set of bone-shaped moulds ia £1.67 from Cakedecoratingcompany.co.uk.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C for 15 minutes, then allow to cool (recipe from Puppyleaks.com).
COOKIES: This three-ingredient recipe from Tesco is simple to make, so get the kids involved.
You need peanut butter (200g), golden caster sugar (175g) and one large egg.
Mix the ingredients in a bowl and add a pinch of salt.
From the mixture, take biscuit-size pieces and press them down on baking paper on a baking tray.
Space the cookies out and pop into a preheated oven of around 180C and bake for between ten and 15 minutes until golden.
Wait until cooled before enjoying your creations — the recipe will make around 16 cookies, depending on size.
SATAY SAUCE: Peanut butter tastes delicious when made into a chicken satay sauce and takes very little effort with this Herbeevore.com recipe.
Simply whisk or blitz equal quantities of peanut butter and rice vinegar — around one third of a cup — plus one tablespoon of soy sauce.
If the mix seems too thick add a little water.
Cook chicken as normal and coat in the sauce at the last minute or use it as a dipping sauce on the side.
