Note
For a dairy-free option, ensure your nut butter is free of added milk solids. You can also substitute almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter based on preference or allergy needs.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze in small portions for up to 3 months.
If you prefer a milder mint flavor, reduce the peppermint extract to 1/2 teaspoon. Conversely, increase to 1.5 teaspoons for a stronger mint kick.
This butter can be swirled into hot coffee, spread on warm toast, or used as a topping for pancakes and waffles.
