Do you secretly {or not so secretly} have a slight love affair with peanut butter? I will find any and every way to have some just about every day. It’s the absolute cherry on top if I get it with a little dark chocolate too..but hey, I won’t be too picky 😉
If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard that learning the art of clean eating was the one thing that finally worked to help me lose weight for my wedding and has been pretty much the way we have eaten every since. Learning how to eat, changed my life. This was the first big step in getting off the yo-yo diet rollercoaster.

Sauces and dressings I came to quickly learn are some of the easiest places to cut the crap aka chemicals, additives, and preservatives as well as the sugar content and overall calories.
I came across this peanut sauce recipe in a magazine I used to subscribe to, and it is seriously so simple, goes good with everything from stir fry to Thai, and takes less than 5 minutes to make. Count me in!
Forgive me, if you are someone that likes exact measurements as I am not the best at measuring things (maybe that is why I don’t do a whole lot of baking 😉 )
But here is my best guess at what you will need to make a single serving..If you need or want more just double or triple the recipe. And as always feel free to play around with the ratios a bit!
1 T. Peanut Butter or nut/seed butter of your choice
2 T soy sauce/ coconut aminos (if you are gluten free or trying to limit your soy intake, use the coconut aminos)
1 T Sweet garlic chili sauce
Sriracha to taste if you like a little heat
Add all of the above ingredients to a small bowl if you want to eat it chilled or to a sauce pan if you want to heat it up a bit. Heating it up slightly will help the consistency and make it spread easier especially if you are using natural peanut butter. Mix all the ingredients until blended, top your fave dish with it, and let me know how much you love it!

Cheers to you and peanut butter,
I have a torrid love affair with peanut butter sauce. I did a peanut butter sauce based on a Bobby Flay dish once. From what I remember of it, there was soy, honey, rice wine vinegar BBQ sauce, chipotles and PB. It was super good.
Love this post!
Yum! That sounds good and spicy. Maybe a little more like a korean BBQ sauce if you took out the PB? and thank you!!
