How good is peanut butter!!! At YourVeganKitchen, we love using peanut butter in our recipes to add that savory note to sweet food. Plus, peanut butter is an excellent source of protein, so use it liberally if you’re trying to build muscle.

Here are some of our favorite vegan peanut butter recipes.
