The Peanut Butter thread

I like chunky eaten directly from the jar. Rarely ever eat on bread - unless you have really stout bread the PB just makes a mess when you eat it.

Chunky out of jar, on PBJ, toasted Ezekiel
Creamier out of jar, in smoothies but are peanut butter smoothies with peanut butter plant protein, on Murasaki sweet potatoes, PBJ

I love peanut butter either way. Mostly crunchy but I use powdered peanut butter because I like volume!

Stick 2 fingers in deep. Be sure to lick them fingers too. Get in all them wonnerful calories. Enjoy those 2 minutes of bliss. Now add 4 tablespoons into your diary. The fun has now officially ended if you’re in Fatloss mode….

Creamy on a burger with dill pickles, or as a satay with chicken skewers, or as a sauce for Asian noodles.

I prefer creamy. I have a bag of bulk roasted, unsalted peanuts in the pantry if I want the crunch. Usually on whole wheat bread, sometimes with jam, marmalade, or honey. I occasionally spread it on toast, fresh out of the toaster so the peanut butter melts in. Rarely I might have a scoop from the jar with a knife or spoon.

I make a homemade low cal chocolate peanut butter ice cream, using PBP.

Last night, on a whim, I stuck some real peanut butter on top before blending it.

Oh, my.

Next level.

Made an absolute mess of the ice cream maker, but…… again……oh, my!!!!

As a non-American, I've never seen the appeal, and I totally do not understand the whole PB + jelly + bread nonsense. It's so bizarre.

PB flavoring is OK, I don't mind it in protein bars and powders, but I don't seek out actual PB due to the high calories, and if I never had it again in my life I wouldn't miss it at all.

I'm American and I didn't have my first bite of a PB&J until my early 30s. I immediately handed it back to its owner. LOL. I prefer to have peanut butter occasionally in savory recipes like Indonesian chicken satay, Thai Swimming Rama, West African peanut soup, etc, but I absolutely don't do PB&J. I never understood that either. My dad occasionally makes dill pickle, peanut butter, and onion on rye sandwiches. And my Dutch husband will make peanut butter, sweet chili sauce, fried onion, and either banana or cucumber (depending on his mood) sandwiches on whatever bread is in the house (usually a whole grain). Those are less twitchy to me, but I hate rye bread and I don't think bananas should be on sandwiches. Hehe.

Dark roasted crunchy, usually on an Ezekiel pita.

You do you.

I like peanut butter but I became more of a sunflower seed butter person. I stopped buying it because of the calories and the "have a quick taste but with a not so quick glob on a spoon that was never logged" problem..

Crazy Richard's chunky! I eat it on top of oatmeal in the morning.

My fiance is a Jif creamy guy. And he likes it on white bread with Welch's grape jelly.

@psuLemon on those pancakes 😱

That’s brilliant!!!!!

Just in here to stand as a non-American who could live (and probably die early) on a diet solely consisting of Crunchy Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches! Or on toast, or on a cracker. Loved it since childhood. Not really sure how it came to be a thing in my very English home some 50+ years ago before American TV was the influence it is today. 🤷‍♀️

Has to be Crunchy, preferably a good quality whole nut butter but if all there is is a supermarket jar I’m still in! Still always just the nuts and salt, although I’m not sure we get anything with the other additives in the U.K.? Certainly never been aware of it, but maybe I just know my brands 🤷‍♀️

It’s not something I indulge in often (sheer willpower) but I could, oh yes I could! 😂

Otherwise, I use it to make Satay and Asian stir fry style dishes for my husband. For me I tend to use PB2 for a modified version. I also have a Chocolate PB powder but I’ve found very limited uses for that so far. Mixed into Skyr is about it and eaten with sliced apple.
