Let's turn this thread into one all about peanut butter, jelly, and all recipes associated with it. I love the flavors of peanut butter and fruit together, and I don't mean only on sandwiches. So post your favorite recipes containing peanut butter and/or fruit here!!
I'll start with some ideas:

Peanut butter oatmeal with fruit preserves

Ingredients:
1/2 c old fashioned oats
2T natural peanut butter
1-2 T natural strawberry preserves

Cook oats in the microwave for about 45 seconds with appropriate amount of water. stir in peanut butter. microwave for 20 more seconds. stir in strawberry preserves. enjoy!

PB & J Salad

Ingredients:
4 oz. non-fat vanilla yogurt
2T natural creamy peanut butter
1/2 sliced banana
a handful of red grapes
sprinkle of cinnamon

combine yogurt and pb until creamy and uniform. sprinkle cinnamon on mixture. stir in grapes and banana or keep them separate and use the pb mixture as a dip for the fruit.

    Gosh, I LOVE PB so much that I can eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon. Actually, it's a "trigger" food for me (it took me years to accept that fact) and I've had to stop buying it because I just can't resist it. It's so good, but so full of fat and sugar. And the mainstream brands are filled with transfats (the worst kind) so they can have a long shelf life. If you simply cannot live with out PB, I'd recommend the organic kind. Once you mix it up and store it in the fridge, it isn't bad. In fact, once you've become accustomed to it, it actually tastes better than the commercial brands. I miss my love affair with PB ...

    Mix together equal parts peanut butter and cool whip, and dip the fruit of your choice in it. Or, if you're feeling like you deserve a really big treat, cut a low calorie tortilla into triangles, spray some low (or no) calorie butter spray on the pieces, sprinkle cinnamon and splenda on the pieces, and bake until crispy. Homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips!! They go very well with the pb/cw dip.

    You think peanut butter is addictive just try almond or better yet cashew butter now that ones addictive. I buy a little cashew butter at a time (cause I can't be trusted with an entire jar) at a bulk store and their are no additives or preservatives.

    i've tried all types of nut butter. almond butter, cashew butter, and 'sunflower' butter made with sunflower seeds. all taste great, but in my opinion they are all good for mixing with certain fruits than others.

    That is what I used to do, but in the interest of my health I brough it down to one Eggo and less than a tablespoon of peanut butter. Still delish!
