Notes
- If you don't have natural peanut butter, omit the maple syrup and plan on adding a little more water to thin it out.
- Not all peanut butter has the same amount of salt in it- you may need to add a pinch of salt at the end.
- Feel free to use coconut aminos or tamari instead of soy sauce. You may need to add a pinch of salt at the end!
- You can use brown sugar or honey instead of maple syrup in this recipe.
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes adds the slightest hint of flavor and spice, but is not spicy. We liked it with a full teaspoon of red pepper flakes and felt like it was about medium spicy.
