Abstract

Disclosed is a reduced fat peanut butter product containing from about 30% to about 75% of a nut paste, from about 15% to about 45% of at least one water-soluble non-fat dry solid, from about 0% to about 10% added edible oil, from about 0% to about 30% of a water-insoluble non-fat dry solid and from about 0% to about 3% emulsifier. The reduced fat peanut butter is prepared by combining all the ingredients, then, intimately mixing the resulting combination by passing the combination through an extruder mixer. The mixture is then milled and homogenized under a pressure of from about 4,000 psig to about 14,000 psig.
