Hi this looks amazing. Before I try it, I’d like to know about the peanut butter. The pb I use comes very liquidy from the natural peanut oils on top. By the time I get to the bottom of the jar, it’s incredibly dry. What do you recommend for getting the right consistency peanut butter for this recipe?
Hi Julie,
for the peanut butter in this recipe, I recommend using a creamy, well-mixed peanut butter. If your natural peanut butter tends to separate with the oils rising to the top, you can try stirring it thoroughly with a spoon before measuring out the amount needed for the recipe. I sometimes use a hand mixer to ensure my peanut butter is well-mixed before using it in recipes. This helps to achieve a smoother consistency, especially if it tends to separate easily.
How do you recommend melting the chocolate?
Hi Annie,
you could melt the chocolate in a double-boiler (preferably) or in the microwave in 15-20 seconds intervals stirring until completely smooth.
Hi there: This looks delicious! Can I substitute the coconut flour for a different kind of flour? I am not a fan of the coconut flour 😕. Thank you!
Hi Fran,
Thank you!
You could substitute it for almond flour, however, you may need to adjust (reduce) the amount of water.
