Questions about Chunky peanut butter
How do you stop the oil separating in chunky peanut butter?
Stir right down to the bottom of the jar before using it, then keep the jar tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard. If the oil has set or is hard to mix in, leave the jar at room temperature for a while first.
How do you make a quick peanut sauce with chunky peanut butter?
Whisk a spoonful with hot water, adding the water a little at a time until the sauce is pourable. Stir in soy sauce and lime juice; it works well with noodles, roast vegetables or satay skewers.
Can you use chunky peanut butter in baking?
Yes. Use it in peanut butter biscuits or brownies, and fold it into the mixture rather than warming it first. The peanut pieces add crunch, so the finished bake may be less even than one made with smooth peanut butter.
What can you use instead of chunky peanut butter?
Use smooth peanut butter for the same peanut flavour without the pieces, or stir chopped roasted peanuts into it to bring back some crunch. For a peanut-free swap, try tahini, though its sesame flavour is quite different.
How is chunky peanut butter different from smooth peanut butter?
Chunky peanut butter contains small pieces of peanut, while smooth peanut butter is ground to a finer paste. Their nutrition is broadly similar: the listed chunky type has 26 g of protein per 100 g, compared with 25.7 g in smooth peanut butter.
How much protein is in a typical spoonful of chunky peanut butter?
A typical tablespoon is about 32 g and provides 8.3 g of protein. Spoon it onto toast, or mix it into porridge or yoghurt.
Can young children eat chunky peanut butter?
Whole or coarse peanut pieces can be a choking risk for young children. For them, spread a thin layer of smooth peanut butter, or mix the chunky kind thoroughly into a soft food so the pieces are no longer distinct.
Is chunky peanut butter safe for dogs?
Peanut butter is high in fat, and some products contain xylitol, a sweetener that is dangerous to dogs. Keep the jar out of reach and do not give it to a dog unless you have checked the ingredients and confirmed it is suitable.
