By request, I worked up a peanut butter bean fudge Thursday evening while cooking dinner. I am still working on other flavors. This one came out great and my kids love it.  Yay!

I’m using cannellini beans in the light-colored fudges because they are white and rather neutral in flavor.  If anyone tries this with navy or another white bean, please let me know how it turns out.  I’m just trialing cannellini right now because that’s what I have on hand.

This recipe can be done with any nut butter, not just peanut butter.  In the future, I’ll likely use sunnut butter, as that is my kid’s preference.

Peanut Butter Bean Fudge

Hands-on: 15 minutes
Hands-off: 4 hours

1 1/2 cups cooked cannellini beans (I sprout them and then cook until tender)
1 cup peanut butter or other nut butter
1/4 cup sucanat or 2 Tbs honey
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 – 1 1/2 cups coconut oil, melted (I recommend expeller-pressed for this recipe to minimize the coconut flavor)
Stevia to taste (or additional sucanat)
dash salt

In a food processor, combine the beans, peanut butter, sucanat and vanilla and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Turn the processor on and pour in the oil while running, adding enough oil to make a smooth mixture. Scrape down the sides and make sure it’s combined completely. Taste and add stevia as needed to reach your desired sweetness. Add salt, if needed. Pour into an 8×8 pan and chill until firm. Cut into small pieces.

    I’m considering making this but am questioning the large amount of coconut oil. Any other healthy ideas?

      The coconut oil is used because it solidifies when cold, giving the ‘fudge’ the right consistency. You could try some softened butter, but it will have an impact on the flavor.

    Hey! The links for the other fudges do not work! They just link back to the peanut butter version.

    This fudge is really good! I made it with canned white beans (that is all the label says). I mistakenly dumped the coconut oil in the blender before blending the other ingredients, but it worked. I love that this has lots of coconut oil and protein and is so easy to make, will be perfect for the hot summer as part of a meal or a snack! Thanks for the recipes!
