Pretty much agree with Jami. If you go by the ‘strict’ definition of Paleo, then peanuts aren’t approved as a legume. This being said, most people I know who do the Paleo thing (CrossFitters) who are SERIOUSLY into it utilize peanuts are their ‘fuel food.’ While eating beans and other things slows me down, I find peanuts/peanut butter actually helps give me energy; and I think most others feel the same way.
Perhaps you could sub almond butter for the pb and then it actually would be considered paleo? I just don’t think you should label this a paleo recipe when it includes an ingredient that is not paleo approved… even if some people you talk to say it’s an okay “cheat”.
interested in your recipes, they all look good
I don’t believe that peanuts are “paleo-approved”, since technically, peanuts are actually a legume.
It depends on who you talk to. Yes, peanuts are a legume, but many feel that it is an okay “cheat” or sometimes thing.

I’m dumb. What kind of squash?
Hi Brenda, I use acorn squash but you can use any squash!
