    This Gingerbread Peanut Butter is an easy festive treat for the holidays. It is healthy while still feeling indulgent.

    Another healthy gingerbread recipe is my Gingerbread Energy Bites. They taste like a dessert but are something you can feel good about eating.

    And if you want some gingerbread for breakfast, but want to keep it healthy, try my Vegan Gingerbread Granola or Gingerbread Chia Pudding recipe. You also might like my Gingerbread Kombucha recipe or my Ginger Kombucha recipe.

    Other peanut butter recipes are my Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge and Spicy Peanut Butter Cookies recipe. Another recipe to try is my Chocolate Coconut Spread.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is creamy and flavorful.

    • It's perfect for the holidays. Eat it with sliced apples, graham crackers, or on toast.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Peanut butter: I used all-natural peanut butter, but you could also use shelf-stable.
    • Blackstrap molasses: Adds the deep rich flavor that gingerbread is known for.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, date paste, or brown sugar.
    • Ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg: Add the warming spices that gingerbread is known for.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness.
    • Water: To thin it out if necessary.

    Step 2: Add water as needed and mix to the desired consistency.

    💭 Tips

    • Start with fewer spices and sweetener to see how you like the taste. You may want more or less than I've indicated.
    • You may or may not want to add water to thin it out. My peanut butter really needed it. If you have just opened the peanut butter, you probably won't need water.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    Is peanut butter and molasses good?

    Peanut butter and molasses are a great combination. In addition to this gingerbread peanut butter recipe, I've used the combination in a chocolate smoothie.

    Is gingerbread the same as ginger?

    Ginger refers to ginger root or ground ginger, whereas gingerbread often refers to the flavors that make up gingerbread: blackstrap molasses, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and sometimes cardamom. For this recipe, I did not include cloves or cardamom.
