Viral Beanut Butter (2-Ingredient Recipe)

This viral Beanut Butter recipe has been taking over TikTok, and it's one of the most interesting food trends I've seen lately. Made with just cannellini beans and powdered peanut butter, this two-ingredient spread is creamy, packed with peanut flavor, and a great way to add more fiber to your diet. All you need is a food processor and a few minutes to make it, and you can enjoy it however you'd normally use peanut butter.

Why You’ll Love This Viral High Fiber Peanut Butter

I've been seeing this viral peanut butter hack all over TikTok lately, and I was so intrigued to try it. People are calling it "beanut butter" because it's made by blending white beans with powdered peanut butter. It's such a simple idea, but I love finding creative ways to make everyday foods a little healthier, especially when they only require two ingredients.

The biggest benefit of this recipe is the fiber from the cannellini beans. Most of us could use more fiber in our diets, and this is an easy way to sneak some into something you already love eating. The PB2 gives it that familiar peanut butter flavor while keeping it lower in fat than traditional peanut butter.

I also love how quick and versatile it is. It takes just a few minutes in the food processor, and you can adjust the consistency to make it as thick or creamy as you like. It's not exactly the same as regular peanut butter, but it's a surprisingly good alternative for spreading on toast, dipping fruit, or adding to snacks.

Beanut Butter Ingredients

• 1 (15-oz.) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• ¾ cup PB2 peanut butter powder
• Water, as needed

How to Make High Fiber Peanut Butter

Step 1: Prepare the Beans

Drain and rinse the canned cannellini beans thoroughly under cold water. Add them to a food processor and blend for about 30 seconds, until the beans begin to break down into a thick paste.

Step 2: Add the Powdered Peanut Butter Powder

Add the PB2 powdered peanut butter, ¼ cup at a time, blending between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to make sure everything gets evenly incorporated.

Step 3: Adjust the Consistency

Continue blending, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time as needed, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You want a thick, spreadable consistency similar to regular peanut butter. Be careful not to add too much water at once, or the spread can become runny.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the homemade peanut butter to a bowl or airtight container. Enjoy it immediately with sliced apples, crackers, or spread on toast. You can also refrigerate it for later!

My Expert Tips for the Best High Fiber Peanut Butter

• Use plain cannellini beans. I recommend using unsalted or low-sodium beans so the peanut butter flavor comes through without tasting too salty.
• Use a food processor for the smoothest texture. A food processor works best for breaking down the beans into a creamy spread. A high-powered blender can also work, but you may need to stop and scrape down the sides more often.
• Blend longer than you think. Even after the beans and PB2 are combined, continue processing until the mixture is completely smooth. This helps eliminate any grainy texture from the beans.
• Adjust the peanut butter flavor. Different brands of powdered peanut butter vary in sweetness and intensity. Taste the spread before serving and add a little more PB2 if you want a stronger peanut flavor.
• Refrigerate for a thicker consistency. If you prefer a firmer, more spreadable peanut butter, refrigerate it for 20–30 minutes before serving. It will thicken slightly as it chills.

Beanut Butter FAQ

What is the viral peanut butter made from beans?

The viral peanut butter, also called "beanut butter," is a two-ingredient spread made by blending cannellini beans with powdered peanut butter. It's become popular on TikTok as a way to add more fiber to your diet while still enjoying a peanut butter-flavored spread.

Does beanut butter taste like real peanut butter?

It has a similar peanut flavor thanks to the PB2 powder, but the taste and texture aren't exactly the same. Regular peanut butter is richer and contains more fat, while beanut butter is lighter, less oily, and has a slightly different consistency from the blended beans.

Is beanut butter healthier than regular peanut butter?

It depends on your nutritional goals. Beanut butter provides fiber from the cannellini beans and generally contains less fat than traditional peanut butter. However, regular peanut butter provides healthy unsaturated fats and protein. Both can fit into a balanced diet.

How much fiber is in beanut butter?

Most of the fiber comes from the cannellini beans, which are naturally high in fiber. The exact amount per serving depends on the brand of beans, powdered peanut butter, and how many servings you divide the recipe into.

Is this bean peanut butter high in protein?

It contains plant-based protein from both the cannellini beans and powdered peanut butter. However, the exact amount depends on the ingredients and serving size. It's a good way to add some protein and fiber to snacks without using protein powder.

Can I use beanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?

Yes, it works well as a spread for toast, a dip for apple slices, or a topping for oatmeal. However, I wouldn't recommend substituting it 1:1 for regular peanut butter in baking recipes. The higher moisture and lower fat content can change the texture of baked goods.

Is beanut butter vegan?

Yes! This recipe is naturally vegan when made with plain cannellini beans and a plant-based powdered peanut butter like original PB2. It's also dairy-free, but it still contains peanuts.

How do I store homemade beanut butter?

Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Unlike regular peanut butter, beanut butter contains blended beans and added water, so it isn't shelf-stable. Give it a good stir before serving if any liquid separates.
