SATURATED & UNSATURATED oil/fats. So naturally peanut butter are supposed to be runny/watery and not solid, they should able to be poured over when you flip your bottle of peanut butter upside down and flowing like a thick sauce. But the bad thing is, they contain an unhealthy fat called “trans-fat”.
So as the peanut butter sits, the oil rises and collects at the top. That's often a sign it has added oils like cottonseed, rapeseed, soybean, or palm oil. They mix with the peanut oil preventing any oil at the top. If you prefer all-natural peanut butter, mixing that extra oil back in can be a mess.
If your classic peanut butter isn't separating, that's a a tell-tale sign that thick, unhealthy, and yucky hydrogenated oils have been added to the mix making it more like a peanut flavored Crisco than a true natural peanut butter. So maybe a little separation isn't so bad after all!
The beauty of using powdered peanut butter is that you can make it as thick or thin as you like by adjusting the water or adding more powder. I started with two heaping tablespoons of peanut butter powder and added about one tablespoon of water. Then I added more water until it was the consistency I was looking for.
Place the desired amount of peanut butter blender and dilute it with two tablespoons of water (or with the amount of milk in your recipe) for every tablespoon of peanut butter. You can add a few more water if you want it thinner.
Because natural peanut butter (peanuts and salt, basically) doesn't use stabilizer oils to keep it homogenized, you have to stir the peanut butter thoroughly when you first open the jar. This sounds easy, but if you've ever done it, you know it's a cumbersome task to get it all mixed together smoothly.
An open jar of peanut butter can stay fresh for up to three months in the pantry, and after that, it's recommended to store it in the fridge for safe-keeping and maintain its quality for another three to four months.
Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, vinegar, sriracha, and maple syrup to a small bowl or jar. Whisk together, then whisk in the water slowly until the desired consistency has been reached. This peanut sauce tends to thicken up over time, so add more water as needed to thin.
An open jar of peanut butter stays fresh up to three months in the pantry. After that, it's recommended to store the peanut butter in the fridge (where it can maintain its quality for another 3-4 months). If you don't refrigerate, oil separation can occur.
