Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 tablespoons water or milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

1. Add drained and rinsed cannellini beans to a food processor.
2. Add creamy peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt.
3. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Add water or milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach desired consistency.
5. Blend for an additional 1-2 minutes until creamy and well combined.
6. Transfer to an airtight jar or container.

Notes

• Use a food processor or high-powered blender for best results.
• Make sure to rinse canned beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium and starch.
• Beanut butter will thicken slightly as it cools; add liquid gradually to avoid over-thinning.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Stir before serving if separation occurs.
• For a sweeter spread, increase honey to 3 tablespoons.
• This recipe provides approximately 8-10 grams of protein per 2-tablespoon serving.
