Tips

You can make your own peanut butter and make it just as smooth or crunchy as you want. For a basic one, you only need peanuts either natural or roasted. Simply blend them at high speed until the oils start to release, then keep blending until it is creamy, smooth, and delicious. You can add a bit of salt if you want or oils if you want it smoother. If you want it crunchy, remove 1/3 of the peanuts after a quick pulse when they are coarsely chopped, then stir them back in when the remaining 2/3 is smooth and creamy.

Questions about peanut butter, banana, and pecan topping

Although simple and easy, you might like to know more about this delicious topping. Below, you can read the answers to some frequently asked questions.

Is peanut butter a topping?
Peanut butter is most definitely a topping – and a good one at that. It brings a different but pleasant kind of creaminess, and its nutty sweetness tastes terrific alongside other toppings like bananas, nuts, and chocolate. It is a topping delicious on skyr, yogurt, bread, toast, oatmeal, fruit, pancakes, and waffles. Use your imagination and get topping!
How to store leftover peanut butter, banana, and pecan topping?
If you have leftover toppings from breakfast or snack time, it is best to store them separately. Fresh banana, already sliced, is better eaten right away, but are otherwise okay for a few days in the fridge. Homemade peanut butter is good in the fridge for up to 1 month, while commercially produced peanut butter can last 2-3 months in the pantry or 6-9 months in the fridge. Pecans are good for 6 months when stored in a cool, dark place.
Is crunchy or smooth peanut butter better as a topping?
Both crunchy and smooth peanut butter are great as a topping on a bowl of skyr or yoghurt. It depends on what type you prefer, but a creamy, smooth kind fits very well with the already-crunchy pecan nuts and creamy skyr or yoghurt. If you like even more crunch, do not hesitate to try out the crunchier kind.
