Can peanut butter (or other nut butter)be made into a leather – perhaps with the addition of honey and some powdered supplement like cocoa or weight gain formula? Or would the oil in it make that unfeasible?
Got any high calorie, nutritional leather recipes you want to share? Moose goo is already on the list.
I just got my dehydrator, so I'm curious. Thanks in advance for your help.
Jun 17, 2008 at 7:55 pm #1438831Jane I make a peanut butter dip that can be dried and is quite nutritious. PB doesn't dry well by itself because of the fat content. I did find a way to turn it into a powder using tapioca maltodextrin but that didn't save any weight.
If you send an email to [email protected] I can send you the dip recipe.
Jun 17, 2008 at 8:36 pm #1438836My feeling with nuts and nut butters is they are worth the weight to carry – due to their powerhouse of fat/calories/protein :-) If you haven't seen them, check out Justins Nut Butters in the single serving packs. Good stuff.
Jun 18, 2008 at 3:38 am #1438869Thanks ladies. BTW I'm scouring both of your websites too, so I'm looking forward to lots of ideas. I'll be getting your books as soon as I can, and Laurie I'll email you when I get off work today for that recipe.
Munch on!
