Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter

homemade-chocolate-peanut-butter

I pretty much eat the same things for breakfast every morning. Either it’s a bowl of gluten-free oats with eggs, banana and peanut butter or a coconut flour breakfast bake topped with peanut butter, unless I’m in a sweets mood in which case I’ll make a paleo mug cake and top it with peanut butter.

Are you seeing a pattern? I really love peanut butter at breakfast time.

The only thing that I enjoy as much as peanut butter at breakfast is chocolate. Naturally, the two can only be better together.

I actually made this recipe last year around this time and completely forgot about it until I was shopping for ingredients. I figured it was time to remake it and take better photos, anyway. And I could never say no to having chocolate peanut butter on hand.

    Looks perfect– although I’m not sure I could contain it to only breakfast 🙂

    So much smarter than spending $6 a jar on Dark Chocolate Dreams! Brilliant, Evan.

    I’ve been way too cheap to buy dark chocolate dreams for MONTHS… but I have everything above in my cupboards right now… except coconut oil. If you can give me substitution for that, you’ll be my hero. 🙂

      You could use any oil that has a neutral flavor, though it’ll be a little runnier.

    This is so spectacularly good, I’m at a loss for words. I actually didn’t have enough cocoa, so I melted some chocolate chips into the coconut oil, and the result is something I almost wish I didn’t have waiting for me in the cupboard. It’s that good, and I think the coconut oil really seals the deal for me. Thanks so much.
