I am addicted to peanut butter. I have no shame in my obsession, I feed it through the multiple varieties I have in my pantry, I even love it in powdered form. After all, there are far worse things I could be addicted to...Often through out the day, I find myself craving it, it's nutty, sweet, salty flavor and creamy consistency. But today, my usual spoonful or slab on a rice cake or two or even a slice of Udi's just wasn't going to cut it. I wanted dense, hearty, and filling carbs, something I wasn't going to find in either of those options, or most "gluten free" created products so I got a bit creative in the kitchen with a certain ingredient....quinoa.
I know, it sounds disgusting, and I've done some pretty strange things with peanut butter (like that time I ate Tostito Scoops with crunchy peanut butter) BUT I promise you, this is not strange, it is a concoction that once tasted, you won't be able to get enough of !
NOW - for those of you who don't own powdered peanut butter don't fret! You can still make this recipe using regular peanut butter BUT it will be extremely thick and may still need a splash of water. I know this because I used PB2 AND peanut butter in my creation, I told you I was obsessed.
