Why are they called peppernuts when they do not contain pepper OR nuts? Or even peppermint!

But you must expand your boundaries of the concept of "pepper" and "nuts" to include all things that carry the spirit of these two culinary touchstones!

("Peppernut" is the anglicization of "pfeffernuss", "pfeffer" being German for "spice", and "nuss"/"nut" referring to their size and crunchiness. That said, I have had peppernuts that included black pepper and/or nuts.)
