This low fat peanut butter chocolate dip is made with peanut flour and is loaded with protein!
Think chocolate chip peanut butter cookie dough, because that is what this is, only WAY HEALTHIER!
This is a healthful, protein filled snack for anyone, and delicious along side some fresh fruit or or spread on some graham crackers (or just eat it by the spoonful!)
This recipe came about when I was cleaning out and refreshing the organization in my pantry. I discovered an as yet unused bag of peanut flour from Trader Joe’s. I had no idea what to do with it, but felt I had to use it up.
What I discovered was this flour is no longer carried at Trader Joe’s, and that many are very sad about it. But no worries, it is easily acquired via Amazon, see link in the recipe card!

Your Dip looks luscious! Love the chocolate peanut butter combo. Thank you for sharing it at the Hearth and Soul Hop
Any chance you can sub almond or coconut flour for the peanut flour just so I don’t have to buy yet another flour? This looks amazing but I don’t want to have to buy another flour for just one recipe. Thanks.
you could certainly try…but it will be a different flavor! I would increase the nutbutter if you go this route.
Thanks for linking up my chickpea recipe!
my pleasure, can’t wait to try them!
OMG Sounds delish! Found you via Flour me with Love, I've made something similar, can't wait to try this and compare!
Can't wait fro you to post it!!
YUM! I need to make a big batch of this to keep in the fridge for all those times I crave a big spoon of cookie dough 🙂
You know Alea, I would say just use regular ole peanut butter instead of making the flour, but it's up to you! The flour is just so it is lower fat, as it is partially de-fatted. Good luck!
This looks scrumptious! My whole family loves fruit dipped in peanut butter, so this would be a very special treat. I wonder if I can make peanut flour like I make almond flour in the blender.
What a lovely treat! I've never used peanut flour, so I was interested to learn more about it. I've used almond flour, and ground pistachios as flour though. Thank you for sharing your delicious Lower Fat Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip!
This dessert looks great! I would love it if you linked up this recipe to my blog hop for a chance to win a cookbook prize package: http://bit.ly/wJSl1h
