Sunflower butter would be a good substitute although it is not reduced fat. it is made with sunflower seeds instead of peanuts. there is also something like nuttella, which is made from hazelnuts or almond butter made from almonds. However if he is allergic to nuts those would not be any better. The peanut butter could probably be omitted too.

I would try substituting butter.

These sound yummy, and I know my family would like them, but my son is allergic to peanut butter. Can you suggest an alternative that wouldn't change the taste too much, or can it be omitted?
