Recipe by Amy Davis.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Great Northern Beans, rinsed
  • ¼ cup powdered peanut butter
  • 4 Natural Delights Medjool Dates, whole, pits removed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 4 TBSP warm water, plus more as needed

Find "12 oz Organic Pitted Medjool Dates" in a Store

Preparation

  1. To a small bowl, add 4 Natural Delights Medjool Dates (pits removed), and cover with very hot water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until dates are very soft.
  2. To a small blender or food processor, add Great Northern Beans, soaked dates, ¼ cup powdered peanuts, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, a generous pinch of salt, and ¼ cup warm water.
  3. Blend until completely smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times. You may also add more water by the tablespoon if you like a thinner consistency.
  4. Enjoy how you would peanut butter!

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
