Crazy Richard’s is famous for our peanut butter, but did you know that we also have 100% Peanuts! Peanut POWDER, too? We’ve been making creamy and crunchy peanut butter since 1898, and we added peanut powder in 2014. Just as the name states, it only has one ingredient: peanuts, with no added salt or sugar.
Whether you’re blending up smoothies, baking, meal-prepping or simply looking for an easyway to add plant-based protein and peanut flavor to everyday recipes, Crazy Richard’s 100% Peanuts! Pure Peanut Powder is about to become your new pantry MVP.
Below is a quick guide to what peanut powder is, how to use it, and which of our 3 sizes might fit your routine best.
What is peanut powder?
You might see it called peanut powder, peanut flour, powdered peanut butter, or peanut butter powder. Regardless of the name, it starts out as peanuts ground into ultra-smooth peanut butter. After that, most of the oil is pressed out, resulting in a fine, silky powder that mixes easily into both sweet and savory recipes.
Because it’s a powder, it:
- Blends smoothly into liquids (no fighting with sticky spoonfuls!)
- Works great for baking and cooking where you want peanut flavor without changing the texture too much
- Stores easily and is smile to measure for recipes.
- Adds protein and peanut flavor to recipes while keeping the calorie and fat counts low
How to use peanut powder (sweet, savory, and everything in between)
One of the best things about peanut powder is how many ways it can show up in your kitchen. Here are some go-to ideas:
- Smoothies and Shakes:
Add a spoonful for a peanut boost that blends fast. Try it with banana, chocolate, oats, or coffee/mocha flavors - Yogurt, oatmeal, and breakfast bowls:
Stir into: Greek yogurt, overnight oats or hot oatmeal, chia pudding, or fruit bowls - Baking and pantry staples:
Peanut powder plays well in muffins, pancakes, brownies, and waffles. You can replace gluten-free flour in these recipies in a 1:1 swap (though it’s not ideal for yeast breads).
It’s also great for energy bites - Savory cooking: Sauces, dressings, and marinades
Try peanut powder for asian-style sauces (think noodles or stir-fry nights) or west-african inspired stews and soups.
It’s great in salad dressings and as a marinade for tofu, chicken, or veggies. - DIY Peanut Spread
You can also reconstitute peanut powder into a paste for use in spreads and dips, using water, milk, or a low-flavored oil. It may not taste exactly the same as peanut butter, but it has a great flavor and is especially useful when you want to control thickness for recipes or reduce fat and calories.
Peanut powder and introducing peanuts to babies (peanut allergy prevention)
A landmark clinical trial called the Learning Early About Peanut allergy (LEAP) Study found that early introduction of peanut products significantly reduced peanut allergy risk. You can read more about it here.
Many parents ask about ways to introduce peanut protein early. Crazy Richard’s 100% Peanuts! Pure Peanut Powder can be used to introduce peanut protein to babies. If this is something you’re interested in, check with your pediatrician for guidance specific to your child’s needs.
