Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Silken tofu
- 4 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Drain any excess liquid from the silken tofu and gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove any remaining moisture.
Add the silken tofu to a blender or food processor, breaking it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
Add the peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) to the blender or food processor with the tofu.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the desired consistency is achieved. The mixture should be smooth and spreadable.
Taste the tofu peanut butter and adjust seasoning as desired (i.e., adding a small pinch of salt or an extra drizzle of maple syrup for sweetness).
Transfer the tofu peanut butter to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Use as a spread for toast, a dip for fruits or vegetables, or a filling for sandwiches. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
