13 Crazy Ways To Eat Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is an amazing food. It’s classic and always makes you feel satisfied. However, how many PB&J sandwiches have you eaten? Ever thought to try getting a little more creative with this nut butter? If not, below are tons of insane ways to spruce up your peanut butter eating game.

Sardines

Crunchy peanut butter, anchovies and lettuce sandwich. Sound interesting? You actually might be pretty shocked at how amazing this combination is. The crunch of the peanut butter, the saltiness of the sardines and the crisp texture of the lettuce form a delicious team.

Bacon

Bacon seems to be an epic cult classic food that people go all out for. True bacon lovers go to all feats in an attempt to include their beloved strips into a variety of foods. Bacon jam is 100% a thing along with bacon lollipops. Just in case you are super curious, there is a company that makes jars of peanut butter with bacon. Get it HERE. If you feel like easing into the whole peanut butter and bacon thing you could try making a peanut butter sandwich topped with a few strips of bacon. Some people have suggested adding a bit of ketchup to it but we’ll leave that up to you.

Cheese

My Grandmother is from Wisconsin and yes, she puts cheese on everything. Ever had sliced apple topped with cheese? I was never into it but you might like it. Another odd combination I remember was peanut butter sandwiches with cheese. She loves them but I could never really see the magic. If you are feeling really adventurous you might try a grilled cheese sandwich with peanut butter. Or spin a classic and add a slice of cheese to your PB&J. To ease into this cheese and peanut butter combo try dipping Chez It crackers in some peanut butter.

Hamburger

This unique combination blasted into the scene a few years ago. It was all the rage and has since taken a position as a classic. Peanut butter plays very well with meat especially chicken or beef. The roasted nutty taste of peanut butter mixes perfectly and adds an element of texture as well.

Mayonnaise

At one point in time, the makers of Hellman’s mayonnaise owned peanut butter. The company attempted to merge the two together convincing the public that peanut butter and mayo was a supreme sandwich combination. It might have worked for a short bit of time but I can’t really see a kid today with one of those in their lunchbox. For the sake of being open to new experiences give it a try for yourself. You could also try adding some sliced tomatoes or olives on it.

Onion

Okay for all those people who like onions on everything, have you tried it with peanut butter? The trick is to use a sweet onion and not a heaping amount. Just add a thin layer to your peanut butter sandwich for an exotic flair.

Coffee

Coffee is a powerhouse that many people swear by. Not only does it hold significant cultural importance globally but it also helps people get through their day. Hazelnut, vanilla or even coconut flavored coffee is easy to try. Bullet coffee is also very popular among keto dieters. Bullet coffee consists of adding a source of fat into your coffee such as butter, ghee or coconut. An interesting take on that is to add peanut butter to your coffee. Not only will it jump-start your day and provide energy but it’ll also taste like dessert.

Yogurt

If you’ve had a smoothie before then you’ve already eaten this combination without even realizing it. It offers a rich, creamy, milk-like consistency that tastes like a dessert. They also freeze well to make peanut butter yogurt pops.

Dill Pickle

Peanut butter sandwiches with dill pickles might sound like a pregnancy craving but try it for yourself before you judge. The juicy saltiness of a dill pickle mixed with the dense sweetness of peanut butter will do something to your taste buds that you might not be prepared for.

Oranges

Ever made a peanut butter and orange sandwich? How about drizzling peanut butter on some orange slices? Well, if no then you might want to give it a try. At first, it sounds odd but we mix fruit with peanut butter all the time and call it a PB&J. Adding some orange slices to your peanut butter sandwich adds an interesting burst of flavor and juice when you bite into it.

Hot Dog

Similar to enjoying a hamburger with peanut butter is having a hot dog with it instead. Replace the ketchup and mustard for a smear of peanut butter for a more savory experience that compliments the meat with a roasted nutty flavor. If you are really feeling like getting fancy, add some bacon and onion into the mix.

Eggs

Ketchup or syrup on eggs may not be standard but it’s not outrageous. If you’re really interested in jazzing up those morning eggs then try spreading some peanut butter on your omelet or drizzling it on your scrambled eggs.

Kimchi

Kimchi is a Korean side dish made of fermented vegetables. Usually cabbage, radish, and onion mixed with garlic, onion, and other spices. Peanut butter is a common ingredient in many Asian sauce recipes so this combination might not be THAT odd after all. The easiest way to give this one a try is by making a peanut butter sandwich and adding a thin layer of kimchi.
