These ridiculously addictive peanut noodles are so good you won’t be able to stop eating them, but don’t worry- they are super healthy! Gluten-free, grain-free, and paleo they make a super quick and nutritious lunch and are ready in under 15 minutes!
I love my noodles. Do you ever have those days when all you want in a big heaping bowl of steaming noodles topped with an amazing sauce? Today was one of those days for me. I usually make my CRAZY GOOD Sticky Garlic Noodles, which are so very good, but today I tried something different and it came out amazingly, deliciously, wonderfully awesome! AND I’m sharing it with you today!
These noodles make the perfect easy and quick lunch, as they only take 15 minutes to make. You can use yellow squash noodles, made with the spiralizer, or you can use zucchini noodles, gluten-free rice noodles, quinoa noodles, or your personal favorite. I used almond butter in place of peanut butter, and they still taste just like authentic peanut noodles. I added a pinch of spice and a dash of sweetness to round out the amazing flavor and then SMOTHERED the noodles with this tasty sauce. You may find yourself eating the sauce with a spoon. It’s ok- I did it too 🙂
Cricket even got the opportunity to taste these- she got to lick the bowl! She waited patiently until I was done eating, which didn’t take long.
