Oat Milk or Almond Milk Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Peanut butter ice cream recipe made with oat milk or almond milk. This should make about 1 ⅓ pints or 28 oz by weight. It's hard to give exact volume because different ice cream makers or blenders might whip in more air. A reasonable serving size would be about 98 grams so I've given this a serving size of 8 and put in macros for 8 servings.

Equipment
- 1 ice cream maker
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat milk or almond milk, unsweetened (460 grams)
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter (200 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup, plus another tablespoon if desired** (120 grams)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon peanut butter powder (optional)
- ¼ cup salted cocktail peanuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter for swirling (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Put the oat or almond milk, peanut butter, vanilla, syrup and peanut butter powder (if using) in the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into ice cream maker and process as directed by manufacturer. I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker and this is done in about 20 minutes.
- For peanut butter swirled throughout, soften two tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave and stir in about ½ to 1 teaspoon of olive oil, flax oil or whatever oil you like. Drizzle the mixture in as you spoon the ice cream into its carton. Alternatively, just spoon in straight peanut butter without adding the oil. I've done it both ways. The oil makes it a little softer and smoother once frozen, whereas the frozen straight peanut butter chunks are a little harder.
- Scrape into a small container and freeze until firm. This will freeze very hard and will need to be softened before serving. I've been working on some ways to make it more scoopable without raising the calories, so I'll update when I find one I'm happy with.
Notes
I've made this with crunchy, but don't recommend it because the ground peanuts take a way from the creamy smooth texture. However, if you have all the ingredients and only have crunchy peanut butter, it's still good. For the maple syrup, 120 grams is on the less-sweet side. If you feel it is not sweet enough you can increase the maple syrup slightly.
