Celebrate #NationalPeanutButterDay With These Savory and Sweet Recipes! – One Green Planet

Peanut butter is great because it’s naturally vegan and gluten-free. Nuts, in general, also tend to pair nicely with both savory and sweet dishes. In honor of National Peanut Butter Day, we found both sweet and savory recipes that showcase this vegan staple. Using the Food Monster App, we found 15 recipes that use peanut butter as either a savory or sweet ingredient to enhance flavor and add healthy fats!
