Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Consistency Control: The milk is the primary factor in achieving your desired texture; use a single teaspoon for a thick sandwich spread or add more in small increments to create a glossy, pourable chocolate drizzle perfect for pancakes or waffles.
  • Flavor Enhancement: For an even deeper and more authentic "Nutella" taste, consider adding a drop of hazelnut extract or a tiny pinch of espresso powder to intensify the cocoa notes.
  • Settling and Hydration: Depending on the brand of peanut butter powder used, the texture may initially seem slightly grainy; letting the spread sit for 5 minutes allows the powder to fully hydrate for a smoother finish.
  • Storage and Revival: This spread stores well in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, but it may thicken significantly when chilled; simply stir in a few drops of milk to bring back the original creamy consistency before serving.
  • Macro Precision: To ensure you are hitting the exact macros of 25–30 calories and 2–3g of protein per tablespoon, it is highly recommended to measure the dry peanut powder and syrup using a digital kitchen scale.
