    Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa

    Jump to Recipe Pin

    This easy healthy comforting Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa will make you wonder why you ever bought the packaged mixes.

    Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa with spoonfuls of peanut butter and cacao powder

    I have been enjoying different varieties of Vegan Hot Cocoa and Vegan Hot Chocolate lately. It all started with Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate, which has grated Mexican dark chocolate in it. Yum!

    One of my favorite flavor combinations is peanut butter and dark chocolate, so I figured that I would love it as a drink. I often eat dark chocolate chips with peanut butter and a pinch of salt. It's a wonderful snack when I want something sweet and savory.

    This Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa has raw cacao powder, peanut butter, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and stevia, so it is sugar-free unless you decide to indulge a little by including the chocolate and peanut butter drizzle, or by adding your favorite sweetener.

      So good! I didn't have stevia so I used 1 tbs of brown sugar 😀 Tasted great nonetheless! Was craving a warm drink and peanut butter - this recipe was perfect.4 stars
