What do you get when you mix together frozen raspberries, peanut butter, and dark cocoa powder? Something incredible -- heavenly, even. It's an easy breakfast condiment you can create in less than a minute. I made it so fast, I slathered the stuff all over two toasted wheat English muffins this morning even though I was running late (as always). Like with (most) everything else we post, it's pretty healthy, too.
I'm also thinking it would go nicely in some homemade banana "ice cream" -- huh?
COCOA-RASPBERRY PEANUT BUTTER
What you'll need . . .
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder (regular will do, too)
- Honey or agave, if you'd like it sweeter
Method . . .
- Toss everything in your food processor and blend.
- No, really. That's all. Then spread onto toast.
I know I'll get the question: Do I have to use FROZEN raspberries? I think the answer is no. However, the consistency will be soggier if you use fresh. It's interesting how it turns out with the frozen -- then it melts just slightly over the warm toast. I enjoy it this way, much like how I must, must, must have cold cream cheese on a toasted bagel.
Another question I'm anticipating is: Can I use another kind of frozen fruit? I think the answer to this one is YES. I'd recommend cherries, blueberries, or blackberries. And if you try it, please let us know! Just leave a comment or email us at neverhomemaker [at] gmail [dot] com.

Wow, this looks absolutely tasty. I've never heard of doing anything like this, AND this is probably so much better than the artificial equivalent crap found at the grocery store!

oh my gosh! this is genius, I would never have in a million years thought of this. thanks for generously sharing!
I love raspberries so so much!! ..and peanut butter and chocolate! YUM-O-RAMA
I buy frozen raspberries and blackberries pretty regularly and I also have peanut butter and cocoa in my pantry - so I will try this one very soon and let you know :)
Great idea! I'm not a huge PB fan in the first place, so this might make it more appealing to me.
mmmmm looks and sounds delicious!!
Thanks, everyone. And I tried it with blackberries this weekend -- perfecto!!! I love the texture the frozen fruit gives it -- it's really like a cream cheese or something :)
Tried it, and loved it! I don't have a food processor, and didn't have dark cocoa, but the results were great anyways!
