I have not one, but two protein-packed recipes for you today! Now, you know I am not the biggest fan of protein powder. I’d always rather get my protein in the form of actual food, rather than a supplement. I realize how easy protein powder is for baking and smoothies, though, which is why I was so excited when I heard about the new MightyNut powdered peanut butter from Peanut Butter & Co. It gives you the convenience of a powder and it’s a real food – win win!
Powdered peanut butter is simply made of peanuts which have been roasted and pressed, removing most of the fat. What’s left is the protein, fiber and the peanut taste. It’s perfect for cooking, or you can just add water to rehydrate and make your own peanut spread. MightyNut sent me two flavors to try – Original and Chocolate – so I decided to create a recipe with each!
The best part is you also have the chance to win a jar of your own, in your choice of flavors: Original, Chocolate, Flax & Chia, or Vanilla. Info on entering can be found after these delicious recipes:
One of my very favorite things about fall is the abundance of apples. We’ve been stocking up on bags of fresh-picked apples at our local farmer’s market and we also made it for some late-season apple picking at a nearby orchard. They’re definitely my favorite fruit, so putting together apples and peanut butter (a perfect match) was a no-brainer.
- 2 small or 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 TB butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 4 TB GoMighty Powdered Peanut Butter - Original
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease mini muffin pan.
- Combine first six ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Add flour and GoMighty Powdered Peanut Butter, mix until just combined.
- Spoon mixture evenly into the mini muffin pan (I used a 12 muffin pan and made two batches).
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- You can make this recipe as regular sized muffins - the baking temperature of 350 degrees remains the same, but bake for 20 - 22 minutes.
Now, onto the chocolate! 🙂 I’ve been making so many smoothies recently, since one of my lovely clients from Brooklyn gave me an amazing BlendTec blender as a goodbye/housewarming gift when we moved. What could be yummier than a chocolate peanut butter smoothie bowl? Adding raspberries! It’s like a PB&J with chocolate – super breakfast deliciousness and it is protein PACKED, thanks to the powdered peanut butter as well as my secret (well, not so secret anymore!) ingredient of cottage cheese. It may sound a little weird, but it gives you a great, filling protein boost without resorting to a protein powder mix, and you can’t taste it!
- 4 oz coconut water
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 2 TB raspberry jam
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- 3 TB Go Mighty Powdered Peanut Butter - Chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut flakes, unsweetened
- 1 tsp semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp cocoa
- Combine all the smoothie ingredients in your blender, then blend for a minute, or until combined.
- Pour into two bowls, then top with fresh raspberries, coconut flakes and cocoa (or whatever your heart desires!)

I don’t use protein powder, though my husband does. I’ve tried Mighty Nut! It’s tasty. And your PB/Apple recipe looks awesome.

I tried pb2 before I didn’t love it but I want to try this brand
I have never used it but would like to gain more muscle.
My husband uses protein poweders since he has been going through radiation to keep his weight up and heal quicker. I havent tried the peanit butter powder, and think thaat would be a great alternative and a way to get more protein in him.

What a great product. I bake a lot and it’d be an interesting addition to quite a few of my recipes. I hope this product gets brought down under.

I’ve not tried powder peanut butter but these recipes look delicious so I plan to try it now.
I have never tried either, but it’s about time I did!
Yes, I’ve used reg. flavored PB in smoothies but I’d love to try new flavors like chocolate.

I use another brand powdered peanut butter daily. I love it with apples and would love to try peanut butter and co powdered because I love their peanut butter flavors!
I do use protein powder. I use another brand of powdered peanut butter (PB2). I love it in my oatmeal & I love to eat it with apple slices! I do want to try & bake with it too!
