The Peanut Butter thread

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..

I haz a sad now. Fifty-five recipes for "peanut butter lovers" and not a single one was a savory recipe.3 -
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.0 -
Peanut butter is the best. I put that stuff on everything!

Thanks. I have a ton of recipes with peanut butter. I pretty much add it to all my oats, pancakes, waffles, rice cakes, some noodles, PB&J sandwiches, etc....

I'm a chunky fan. I really like it on sprouted bread/crackers.
I'm a fan of all nut/seed butters too.
I would use a smooth variety for peanut satays/sauces (salad rolls/pad Thai recipes/African pb stew/roasted vegetables)
I'm quite the fan, so it's a little bit of a dangerous thing lol! I do have pb powder instead these days.0 -
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.1 -

I remember, as a child, seeing my mother sitting on the couch and using a Hershey's bar to scoop peanut butter straight out of the jar. I'm terrified to even consider the amount of calories. LOL.2 -
And so the cycle continues. I bought some peanut butter because I need to up my fats (plus bonus fiber and protein), took a tiny taste, had to even the top out, did this a few times over the past few days, didn't log even a tiny gram of it.
But, ironically, I'm more worried about the carbs than the calories.

As a kid in a low-income home, my mother packed me a school lunch of a PBJ and some crackers. Every. Single. Day. For years. One of the main reasons I took a job in the school cafeteria, not for the pathetic pay check it generated, but because it included free hot meal every day. Say what you will about school food, after a decade of daily PBJ's, anything tasted terrific! Think I've eaten a PBJ twice in the three decades since, too.
Not to say I dislike peanut butter! I do enjoy it on occasion, mostly in the form of a spoonful of crunchy straight from the jar on days I need a quick snack, or if I'm low on calories for the day. Reese's are a favorite candy of mine, fully realizing they don't use true PB, lol.
Bake a batch of peanut butter cookies, however, and I will follow you around like a puppy.1 -
Inspired by somebody upthread, I microwaved half a serving of creamy peanut this morning and spread it on my chocolate pancakes, with some zero cal chocolate syrup.
I may have a new food obsession.
I was thinking “16 grams is awfully disappointing looking” but it was just enough to “butter” one end of a dozen pancakes….because I’m still rolling up my pancakes and eating them like Little Debbie’s. 😂.
Helped at the beginning and still makes breakfast seem like a forbidden treat. 👍🏻1
