Calling all cappuccino lovers! This Cappuccino Peanut Butter is for you! It’s smooth and creamy and so easy to make at home!
Who’s a fan of PB&J?
Growing up, I was not a fan, but that was only because my mother never really bought it. We may have had a small reduced-fat jar in the cupboard, which honestly, I thought was terrible, but that was it.
Well, let’s just say, in my old age, I’m making up for my lack of peanut butter as a kid.
Some of my favorite things include peanut butter. Peanut butter cookies, pb&j sandwiches, pies, candies, obviously my Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars from a few weeks back, smoothie bowls, chicken satay with peanut sauce, energy bites. You name it, I’ve tried it.
If you’re a regular follower here at the BHK, I think you may also know my love for coffee, espresso and cappuccino.
So when I sampled a cappuccino peanut butter this summer from a local peanut butter shop in Cape May, and fell in love with the flavor, I knew I’d have to create a recipe at home and share it with you folks.
If you’ve yet to make peanut butter or any kind of nut butter at home, it’s a total cinch. I’ve also shared a Cinnamon Raisin Almond Butter here on the blog, and it’s incredibly delish, if I say so myself.
It takes minutes to make and it’s perfect for your every day sammie, to add to your morning smoothie or smoothie bowl or energy bites.
The hints of espresso, cocoa and cinnamon elevate the flavor of this simple creamy peanut butter to super star status!
Just add your dry roasted nuts to your food processor and let it do all the work. You’ll see the peanuts go from small crumbs to a large clump/ball, then to a smooth creamy dreamy peanut butter.
So if you’re a cappuccino lover, this Cappuccino Peanut Butter will be your new favorite flavor. It’s a delicious way to take your plain ole PB&J up a notch. Guaranteed! Enjoy!
A Few Cook’s Notes for Cappuccino Peanut Butter Recipe:
If you like crunchy peanut butter, at the end of processing add about 1/2 cup more peanuts and just pulse a few times, so you can still see some chunks.
This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups peanut butter.
Calling all cappuccino lovers! This Cappuccino Peanut Butter is for you!
- 2 cups dry roasted nuts, plus 1/2 cup extra if you want a chunkier peanut butter
- 2-3 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 Tbsp. espresso powder
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. canola oil
-
Add peanuts, 2 tablespoons honey, cocoa powder, espresso powder, cinnamon, salt and vanilla extract to the bowl of a food processor. Process for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Put the lid back on and continue to process for 2 minutes while slowly adding the oil. Add another tablespoon of honey if you'd like it sweeter.
If you want chunkier peanut butter, add another 1/2 cup nuts and pulse a few times. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Addicted to coffee definitely thinking why didn’t I think of that also ? Absolutely my cup of tea dear :-)
Hope you give it a go Davorka! Making peanut butter is so easy at home!
Now I can get an extra dose of coffee with my breakfast by having this pb on my toast! Though, I’d definitely want to just scoop up straight from the jar ;) Pinned! Happy weekend ahead, my friend!
Yes, you can! Thanks for pinning and happy weekend to you too Dawn!
Nothing like a little coffee flavor to make foods even more delicious tasting! This has a lot of possibilities for baking – I can’t wait to see what you come up with. :)
I love coffee flavor in just about anything Kathy!
Just when I thought peanut butter couldn’t get any better you go and make this!!! I mean, PB and Cappuccino in ONE? Really, what’s not to love?!? I could eat an entire jar of this in one sitting with just a spoon!!! I’m most definitely making this… guess I’m going to have to learn a little self control, huh? ;) Pinned!!!
I guess so Chey! Hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for pinning!
Mary Ann, I do believe this would be dangerous to have this cappuccino peanut butter around me! LOL! I would most definitely eat it by the spoonful….looks heavenly!
Thanks so much Haylie!
I love this! And – it reminds me of a time when my best friend in 2nd grade and I made homemade peanut butter! You have unearthed a very special memory for me! Thank you!!
I’m so happy Annie!
MARY ANN! You’ve combined two of my favorite things in life: peanut butter and coffee. Can I just live on this? I could easily make a meal out of cappuccino peanut butter. So delish!
Thanks Kelsie! Hope you give it a go. It’s so easy!
I am imagining how awesome this is just looking at it! And as I’m a certified coffee addict, I’m excited about bringing that flavour to my peanut butter :)
Me too Jennifer! Enjoy!
I’m soooo making this, Mary Ann. I also didn’t eat PB as a kid, because I was allergic to it! Definitely making up for that now!! I need this cappuccino PB in my life!
Hope you enjoy it Katherine!
You know I am not a big fan of peanut butter but with cappuccino in it, I am so tempted to try.

Mary Ann, this cappuccino peanut butter is brilliant! What an amazing flavor combination. I’m just imagining all the things I could spread it on!

Has anyone tried to make this with real espresso and not powder ? Would that work ?
Hi Sue. No, I’ve only used the espresso powder.
