    Low fat vegan peanut butter pudding

    Are you a peanut butter lover?

    You bet we are! But we enjoy it in moderation because of it's high fat content, and that why I always have PB2 on hand.

    What's PB2?

    PB2 is a powdered peanut butter with 90% less fat than traditional peanut butter and 6 grams of protein per serving. You can bake with it, mix it in smoothies, stir it in your morning yogurt... you get the idea. It's very versatile and absolutely delicious. When PB2 is mixed into a smoothie, you can't tell that it's not traditional peanut butter.

    It's also wonderful in this peanut butter pudding recipe. This pudding sets up similar to a soft custard, but it's just as smooth and creamy as traditional pudding. It also happens to be dairy-free, vegan, good for you, and super easy to make. So let's get into the ingredients.

    Low Fat Vegan Peanut Butter Pudding Ingredients

    ingredients for vegan peanut butter pudding

    For low fat vegan peanut butter pudding you will need the following ingredients:

    • Almond Milk- or other non-dairy milk.
    • Cornstarch- you can sub arrowroot if you prefer.
    • PB2- PB2 is readily available in most supermarkets or if you can't find it, you can order from Amazon.
    • Sugar- The amount of sugar is always a preference. I used sugar and stevia together because I find that stevia by itself is too bitter. If you choose to omit the stevia you may want to add an additional 1- 2 tablespoons of sugar.
    • Stevia- I use Sweetleaf Stevia from the shaker bottle. If you go with a different brand, be sure to read the measurements and add the equivalent of around 4 teaspoons of sugar or to your preference.
    • Salt- Just a pinch of salt will do.
    • Vanilla Extract- This is optional, but adds a lovely hint of vanilla.

    How to make low fat vegan peanut butter pudding

    This recipe is so easy to make. Just follow the steps below and be sure to sift the ingredients, as it will keep the pudding from being lumpy.

    1. Sift- Sift the cornstarch, pb2, sugar, stevia, and salt together in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in the milk.
    2. Cook- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and cook whisking frequently until the mixture comes to a boil (around 5 minutes). Be sure to whisk vigorously reaching the bottom and sides of the pot so that the mixture doesn't get lumpy. Mixture will thicken slightly.
    3. Reduce heat- Turn down the heat to low and cook for 1 additional minute.
    4. Stir in vanilla- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
    5. Pour into serving dishes- Immediately pour the pudding into individual serving dishes. If you don't like the skin that forms on pudding, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. The pudding will be quite thin, but will thicken as it cools.
    6. Refrigerate- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
    7. Garnish- Garnish with banana slices and chopped peanuts if desired.
    8. Enjoy!
