Key Ingredients For Peanut Punch
- Creamy Peanut Butter: The star of the show, y’all! This brings that rich and creamy nuttiness we’re living for. Pro-tip: opt for a smooth peanut butter to keep your punch super silky, but if you’re feeling a little adventurous, crunchy could add a fun twist.
- Bob’s Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats: Not just for breakfast! When blended, these oats elevate the punch with a cozy, wholesome texture.
- Almond Milk, Unsweetened: This is where we get that luscious, milky base. If almond milk ain’t your thing, you could totally sub in regular milk, oat milk or even coconut milk for some extra tropical vibes.
- Vanilla Extract: A splash of this turns the entire punch into a fragrant paradise. Make sure you’re using the real deal, not the imitation stuff.
- Ground Cinnamon & Nutmeg: These are your warming, aromatic spices that make the punch feel extra tropical.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This gives your punch a sweet, velvety richness. If you’re watching your sugar, you can dial it down or consider a lighter alternative.
- Ice Cubes: Because nobody likes a lukewarm punch. These cubes keep things chill and refreshing.
How To Make Homemade Peanut Punch
Here’s the quick rundown, but more detailed instructions can be found below in the recipe card.
Make Ahead & StorageTips
- Prepping Like a Pro: To get the most out of your rolled oats, consider soaking them in almond milk overnight. This not only softens them up but infuses the milk with a deeper, oat-y richness. The next day, blend as usual.
- Ice, Ice, Maybe Later: Here’s a little nugget of wisdom: If you’re making ahead, hold off on adding those ice cubes straight into the mix. We don’t want our fabulous drink turning all watery on us. Add ice only when you’re ready to serve.
- Keep It Cool: If you have leftover peanut punch pour it into a pitcher or bottles that have a snug lid, and it’ll be cozy in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Shake It Off: Before you pour out that luscious glass, give your stored Peanut Punch a good shake or a thorough stir. It’s like waking it up from its beauty sleep.
