Peanut butter addiction

So, for the longest time I convinced myself I didn't like peanut butter. Growing up I refused to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (I would only eat jelly sandwiches!) However, this past year at 18 years old I gave PB another try, and now I'm absolutely hooked. I eat it almost everyday. I love including nut butters in as much food as I can. I've also been interested in making my own (once the jars of PB I already own are gone). I've found it's super great using those cans of mixed party nuts to make butter. So tasty! Anyway, are there any other nut butter addicts around? xD What are some of your favorite recipes including nut butter? Do you like the classic apple or berry and PB, do you mix into your oatmeal, etc? I would love to hear how all of you use it :D

    Ugghhh the Kirkland natural pb is almost too good to resist!! To be good, I put 5g on top of 16g of chocolate cream cheese on bread and it tastes like a peanut butter cup.

    I also looovve pumpkin seed butter on toast, drizzled with honey.

    Peanut butter banana muffins!

    I follow the 100daysofrealfood.com recipe for banana muffins, then add half a cup of peanut butter, and a cup of Greek yogurt to the mix. So good! I also only add one tablespoon of honey to the mix. Sweetens it perfectly.

    I rarely keep peanut butter in the house as I have trouble stopping myself eating it straight out of the jar! I have PB2 now which isn't as nice and is not sitting in my pantry in a convenient ready made jar.

    Krema natural pb is delicious and has not hydrogenated oils (most no-stir ones do). I eat 2Tbsp on a banana pre-workout. You get your fats and carbs.

    I mix some PB into my steel cut oats and add sliced banana. I also use it to make cold sesame noodles. SO good.

    try Nuts n More -- I'm not kidding at all, I have dreams about this stuff. I allow myself to have one tbsp every morning... the cinnamon raisin one... oh god, insanely good. it's hard to resist myself to eat the whole jar in one sitting.

    I put various nut butters on toast, bananas, apples, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, French toast, ice cream, cheesecake, sweet potato, protein bars, yogurt, bagels, protein shakes....

    I have a cabinet filled with different flavors/brands of peanut butter, almond butter, hazelnut butter, cashew butter, cookie butter, powdered peanut butter, whipped peanut butter, fluffbutter, protein nut butters...

    JIF, Nuts N More, PB&Co, Justin's, Earth Balance, Lotus, and YouFreshNaturals are my favorites. Buff Bake and Crazy Richard's are good as well.

    I rarely go a day without peanut butter and during my bulk, I was known to eat it 2-3 times per day. I've spent more money on nut butters than I care to admit, but no regrets. I'm a bonafide nut butter addict. :smile:

    Peanut Butter is probably my favorite thing to eat. I am obsessed with PB&Co Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter. I would eat it on anything but I LOVE to mix it into oatmeal. I also really like to make baked oatmeal with peanut butter.

    I love my pb2. It's my little dessert for myself almost ever night to curb my peanut butter craving

    I love it, too but have decided to cut back a bit. Instead of a tablespoon of peanut butter on my toast, I'll use a teaspoon. (And no margarine under it anymore). My new addiction is popcorn. I use way too much melted Becel margarine on it. Wish I could quit this habit.

    nut butter is so easy to make. Just roast the nuts, if you buy them raw, and put them in the food processor, grind them until they are nut butter and eat it up! I sometimes add salt, cocoa etc. But just nuts is best. Buying preroasted saves you having to roast them first!

    I love peanut butter more than life itself but I swear to God that if I put a jar of it in my shopping cart, by the time I get to the checkout counter my butt has grown an inch. So I don't buy it very often, sadly.

    At Vitamin Shoppe (and online) they have Buff Bake which is protein peanut butter. I made protein balls with it last night (Chocolate PB which is like Nutella). I think it has like 2 sugars and over 10g of protein a serving. I used to eat PB a lot. I loved it in oatmeal.

    Last night I just had the Jiff peanut butter powder (2 tbs) in Fage 2% yogurt, added swerve sweetner and sea salt and 8 dark chocolate chips (geradelli 70%). It was delicious! Tasted like peanut butter pie filling or cheesecake!! My sister used part skim ricotta 1/4 cup and said hers tasted just like cheesecake. I didn't have that but it still was divine! Love pb!!!!!

    One more peanut butter fanatic here! I limit myself to having it only after a run or after a workout at the gym. It makes a tasty reward snack.
