I keep getting these e-mails that March is National Peanut Month. I’m confused, because I didn’t know we needed a month for that. Isn’t every month peanut lover’s month? Or at least, peanut butter lovers month?
In any case, here is a cinnamon peanut butter recipe in honor of yet another one of these silly food holidays.
It’s a real toss-up on which is better. This cinnamon peanut butter or the vanilla cashew almond butter I made a few weeks ago. I made a lot more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with this batch!
It certainly was a lot cheaper though. About 2/3 of a $2.00 canister of unsalted peanuts was all it took! Oh – and a lot less patience. The peanuts were much easier to process into a creamy consistency than the cashews and almonds.

This peanut butter was delicious in protein shakes with a little banana, spinach, almond milk and chocolate or vanilla protein powder. I’ve been going through banana bread like no other with this stuff too.
I can’t wait to try all kinds of new recipes with this. First on my list will be peanut butter cookies. And then some vanilla peanut butter energy bites!
