Welcome to Israel, the Land of Bamba.
Peanut Butter- in Hebrew, חמאת בוטנים ( pronounced- Chemat Botnim)
Below are two of my go-to, most popular, EASY, affordable Peanut butter dessert recipes.
( FYI- both these recipes work great with Almond butter or Techina Paste)
Oh, wait! How can I forget – Healthy! (ier)
Both recipes are #GlutenFree
People are getting more health-conscious, so this recipe is great because it doesn’t just taste good but feels good too.
No post-meal sluggish feeling after serving these at your Shabbos table!
This recipe is ALWAYS a hit; it gets that perfect crunch bursting with flavor.
Recipe #1: Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats
- 3/4 cup natural peanut butter ( green cover for the B&D brand)
- 1/3 cup silan ( Silan is the cheapest natural sweetener in Israel, but you can also use honey or natural maple syrup)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ( if you use maple syrup, you can skip the vanilla)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3 cups Brown rice crisp cereal ( sold in a big 450-gram bag)
- 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl that pat-down in a pan
Melt the chocolate and spread on top
- Optional to sprinkle sea salt on top
Put in freezer for about 2 hours, then remove and break into pieces and put back in the freezer in a ziplock bag or Keep in a pan and take out about 7 min before serving and cut into pieces once softens to serve.
Recipe #2: No Flour, No Sugar, Easy PB Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup natural maple syrup (could sub for any other sweetener)
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp baking soda ( sometimes its called סודה לשתייה- usually comes in little white packets)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 F/ 180 C
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, and scoop out the preferred-sized amount of dough on the baking sheet. The cookies grow a little bit, so the space between the cookies can be around 1 inch.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes.
*Important to note the cookies bake more when out of the oven, so take them out even if they don’t seem fully baked.
I’ve tried both recipes and they’re absolutely DELICIOUS!! Thank you so much
