Peanut Butter Truffles

November 11, 2011 By JJ 6 Comments

Peanut Butter Truffles and Milk

Damn you Twitter and Pinterest. All I’ve seen for days are different interpretations of Peanut Butter and Chocolate – baked together, mashed together, mixed together.

I came home from work this evening and could no longer resist – so I made the most literal [and quick] interpretation I could think of. You could use all Peanut Putter – I used half and half, Almond and Peanut Butters because I don’t usually eat Peanut Butter but still have some buried in the back of the fridge. You could double the Oat Bran if you wanted them firmer. You could coat them in melted chocolate.

Peanut Butter Truffle Ingredients

They took me about 5 minutes to make [well maybe 10 because of the photos]. I ate 4 with a glass of oat milk. And then, because RJ was out watching Australia get slaughtered in the cricket, I had a bowl of frozen peas for dinner. I did not cook the peas, or even defrost them. Frozen peas, still frozen, eaten with a tiny coffee spoon. Followed by another Peanut Butter Truffle. Welcome to my world.

Peanut Butter Truffles

Ingredients

1/3 heaped c Peanut Butter*
1/4 c Oat Bran*
1 heaped Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Full method in under 100 words

Stir together peanut butter and oat bran.

Scoop peanut butter filling with a teaspoon and drop onto cocoa powder. Roll gently to coat. Set on a plate and freeze for 20 mins or so to firm up. Roll in cocoa powder a second time. Keep refrigerated or frozen.

Makes approximately 15 truffles [when using 1/4 c oat bran]

Notes:

  • You can use all Peanut Butter or mix of almond and peanut, or any other nut spread to tell you the truth. Preferably one with no salt/sugar/added oil.
  • For the Oat Bran, start with 1/4 cup and add more, up to approximately 1/2 c, until you are happy with the consistency of the filling. They will firm up with refrigeration.

      seriously, and I love that you reacted to that and not the 5 truffles that made up the rest of dinner

    Wow… I am a sucker for anything that has peanut butter in it and these look great. The oat bran makes it healthy right? 🙂

      Exactly! Really though, if you use no sugar peanut butter they actually are healthy (shhh don’t tell!)

When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨.

The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing.

Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?

Your favourite almost 6yo is back again, and this time it’s cookies. They’re vegan and gluten-free but that’s beside the point really, they’ll be ready to bake in less time than it takes to preheat the oven, and gone the second they cool. For a peek into our VO ‘process’ 😆 hold out for the end 🔈 - the outtakes we’re too good to not include.

For those wondering what everything is:
- 2 c almond meal
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla 
- 1/2 c choc chips or chopped choc
- 180C/355F ~12 min
⚡️ Happy baking, kids! ⚡️

Basically 4 cups each chopped lemon, white sugar, water - and if there’s any interest in an actual recipe I’ll even do a post on le neglected blawg.

Hope this brings a bit of sunshine to your day ☀️🍋🥰 (let me know what your favourite part is - mine is ‘put it in the ooooveenn??’)~ xx JJ
Me: I should do some kind of 2021 wrap up reel as Me: I should do some kind of 2021 wrap up reel as my first post of the year, or maybe some celebratory New Years thing from the archives...

Also me: Look! I put stuff on toast, it was delicious, you should make it!

For those keeping score: a combo vaguely inspired by cilbir turkish eggs, but lazier and dairy free, and on toast 🤷🏼‍♀️. Homemade spelt sourdough, vegan (cashew) yoghurt, jammy (7min) eggs, chilli crisp, toasted sesame seeds, kosher salt, coffee. 

And for the visual but not literal people: 🍞🍦🥚🌶🍂☕️

...now I think this is where I ask you to share this post! And save it for later! And inquire what’s on your plate! Does that sound right?! Great! If you need me I’ll be eating toast (and playing today’s Wordle 😆) and shooting client videos 📹. Have a good one kids, stay safe. x~JJ.
