TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare these crunchy celery sticks with peanut butter & raisins.

  • Use Fresh, Crisp Celery: Avoid wilted or soft celery for the best crunch.
  • Smooth Or Crunchy Peanut Butter?: Choose based on preference for texture variety.
  • Alternative Toppings: Try chopped nuts or granola for an extra crunch.
  • Nut-Free Option: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly variation.
  • Sweet Or Savoury?: Mix in cinnamon, honey or sea salt for additional flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • Protein Boost: Add a sprinkle of chia or flax seeds on top.
  • Chocolate Twist: Use cocoa-flavoured peanut butter for a dessert-like treat.
  • Fruity Version: Swap raisins for dried cranberries, chopped dates or sliced grapes.
  • Savoury Option: Top with crumbled feta or goat cheese instead of raisins.
  • Vegan Option: Ensure peanut butter is plant-based with no added dairy ingredients.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Short-Term Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Prevent Sogginess: Pat celery dry before spreading peanut butter to prevent excess moisture.
  • Freezing Not Recommended: Freezing alters celery’s crisp texture, making it mushy when thawed.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare in advance and store in a sealed lunchbox for a ready-to-go snack.
