Powdered peanut butter or peanut flour has never made a good low fat peanut butter alternative. Until you add some beans. Texture is the focus, and this peanut butter alternative works great.

3/4cupdefatted peanut flouror powdered peanut butter, see notes

Notes
If you do not have aquafaba reserved, you can use water instead. The sweetener is optional, and the type can be adjusted to what you prefer (such as stevia). If you are using this peanut butter with something else that is sweet (such as jam, or in a recipe), you may not want to add it at all. Test it before you remove the mixture from the blender to determine your preference. Peanut flour is defatted, unsweetened peanuts. It is the same as "powdered peanut butter", except it does not include any sweetener. If you use powdered peanut butter that is sweetened, you may be able to omit the added maple syrup in this recipe.
