Description
This isn't peanut butter. It's pea butter, aka pea protein with extra virgin olive oil. The oil and protein powder add the exact amounts of fats and protein, while oats and inulin add net carbs and fiber. Finally, salt and potassium chloride add sodium and potassium.
The result is a gram for gram nutritionally identical recreation of natural peanut butter. Use this as you would peanut butter, whether it be spreading on an apple or for baking. For another unhinged peanut butter recreation, check out my Reconstituted Peanut Butter!

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl with a silicone spatula. Use as you would peanut butter.
Notes
- I'm using EVOO, but any other oil, like virgin coconut oil or avocado oil would work here.
- Here I spread some pea butter on a Sourdough Discard Flatbread for a quick snack.
- This recipe makes exactly 2 tbsp (32 g) of pea butter to perfectly replicate a 2 tbsp (32 g) serving of peanut butter. Simply scale this recipe up by x8 to replace 1 cup (256 g) of peanut butter. The recipe to replicate 1 cup (256 g) of nut butter is below.
- 1/2 cup (120 g) Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 scoop (64 g) Pea protein powder, unflavored
- 1/2 cup (48 g) Oat flour
- 4 tsp (19.2 g) Inulin
- 1/2 tsp (2.4 g) Salt
- 1/2 tsp (2.4 g) Potassium Chloride
- Below is a nutritional comparison of this pea butter to natural peanut butter, per 2 tbsp (32 g). As you can see, they're virtually identical.
