Description

Homemade DIY peanut butter chips that are natural, creamy, and free from additives or preservatives. These chips are made with simple ingredients like natural peanut butter, powdered sugar, agave nectar, and coconut oil. They freeze solid, making them perfect for adding to recipes as a wholesome alternative to store-bought peanut butter chips, with a rich peanut flavor and slight melting during baking.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted, creamy natural peanut butter (Trader Joe’s brand recommended)
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a rectangular baking pan. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the peanut butter mixture once set.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and agave nectar. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add Coconut Oil: Pour in the melted coconut oil and mix until the mixture is smooth, thin, and pourable. This ensures even spreading and proper setting.
  4. Spread Mixture: Pour the peanut butter mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula or spoon to spread it evenly into a uniformly thin layer to avoid thick spots.
  5. Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the mixture to firm up completely, at least 30 minutes, ideally 4-6 hours or overnight for easier cutting.
  6. Cut into Chips: Once very firm, use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the set peanut butter into chip-sized pieces. Loosen the chips with a spoon or spatula to separate them fully.
  7. Store Properly: Keep the peanut butter chips stored in a freezer-safe container or bag in the freezer. They will soften at room temperature and should remain frozen until ready to use.
  8. Use Tips: Add the chips directly from the freezer to your recipe. Avoid mixing into warm batter to prevent premature melting. Expect them to melt slightly more than store-bought chips due to the lack of preservatives.
  9. Shelf Life: These homemade peanut butter chips will keep fresh and tasty in the freezer for one month or longer.
  10. Yield: This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of peanut butter chips, about 16 servings.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter with salt for best flavor.
  • Choose agave nectar, maple syrup, or honey depending on dietary preference.
  • Melt the coconut oil gently to avoid separation in the mixture.
  • Ensure an even thin layer when spreading the mixture for consistent chip size.
  • Keep chips frozen until use to prevent melting.
  • Adjust batch size by modifying ingredient quantities proportionally.
  • These chips will melt more than commercial ones but provide a wholesome, natural alternative.
