4 stalks celery
0.5 cup creamy peanut butter Shop
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup Shop
0.25 tsp salt
1 tbsp chopped peanuts or gluten-free granola (optional) Shop

Instructions

1 Wash and trim the celery stalks, then cut them into manageable 3-4 inch pieces. Pat the celery dry with paper towels to ensure the peanut butter adheres well. This preparation should take about 5 minutes.
2 In a small bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and salt. Stir vigorously with a spoon until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a creamy, spreadable filling. This mixing process will take approximately 2-3 minutes.
3 Carefully spoon the peanut butter mixture into the hollowed-out sections of each celery piece. Ensure the filling is packed in evenly, creating a generous layer that reaches the edges of the celery. This assembly step should take about 5-7 minutes.
4 If using, sprinkle the chopped peanuts or gluten-free granola over the peanut butter filling for added texture and flavor. Press them gently into the filling so they stick. This garnish step takes about 1-2 minutes.
5 Arrange the stuffed celery on a serving platter and serve immediately for the best crunchy texture. These can also be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving, though the celery may soften slightly.

Tips & Notes

Choose wide celery stalks. The deeper channel holds more filling.
Chopped peanuts give the cleanest crunch. If you prefer granola on the celery, it must be labeled gluten-free.
Stir natural peanut butter well before measuring. The oil separates, and the honey blends in better once it is mixed back in.
