Could you use peanut butter powder in place of the peanut butter?
Yes, but it won’t have as good of flavor
Although I love Brussels sprouts, I had a half of a head of cabbage that needed using. It was excellent and so easy. I will definitely be making this again… with the Brussels sprouts!!
I’m allergic to miso paste and to any soy. Is there something I can use to substitute the miso paste?
PS I really like your website!!
You could just leave it out but you might need to add a little more salt of your choice.
There is miso paste made from chickpeas. Or there w as it worked well sorry I don’t know the brand.
Yum! We had to use coconut aminos as we were out of miso. We added a touch more peanut butter. delish!
