I. M. Healthy SoyNut Butter Review

The I.M. Healthy brand sent me a jar of their SoyNut Butter to review. I was so excited because I had not tried SoyNut Butter before and the only peanut butter substitute that I have tried was Sunflower butter. I think that there is a definite difference! The SoyNut Butter tastes more like peanut butter and is not grainy. Besides being peanut and tree nut free my favorite part about SoyNut Butter is that it is not as sticky as regular peanut butter.

SoyNut Butter is available in creamy, chunky, honey, unsweetened, and chocolate. It contains 15-33% less total fat than regular peanut butter and 33-50% less saturated fat than regular peanut butter. They also make roasted sweet corn and gluten free corn crumbs. All of their products are peanut, tree nut, dairy, sesame, egg, gluten and shellfish free and are manufactured in a facility free of these foods to avoid cross contamination.
I tried the product plain and then I decided to make peanut butter cookies. The cookies recipe I used was from their site. You can find the link to their recipe page here.

Chewy SoyNut Butter Cookies

1/2 cup shortening

3/4 cup I.M. Healthy Creamy SoyNut Butter

1 cup brown suagr

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs (I substituted this with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce)

2 Tbsp light corn syrup

2 Tbsp water

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix shortening, SoyNut Butter, brown sugar, eggs (applesauce), corn syrup, water and vanilla together. Make sure all lumps are out of mixture. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix all ingredients together well. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

I really enjoyed the cookies and my children and husband (who is not peanut-free and loves peanut butter) enjoyed them as well.

I really enjoyed their product and would recommend it to anyone that is avoiding peanuts or tree nuts.

Buy It! SoyNut Butter is available at many large grocery stores, on Amazon and Nutricity as well as the SoyNut Butter site.

Disclosure: The I.M. Healthy Company provided me with a jar of SoyNut Butter for this review.

I love soy nut butter! I think it tastes better than regular peanut butter! We are in the transition of going gluten free and I found a gluten free soy butter at wal-mart the other day! We all love it! :)
