You can't eat it off the spoon. It is flour. I did try it off the spoon to just taste it but it is dry flour. So far I have added it to shakes and yogurt. I am sure there are many possibilities. I just have not tried it in anything else yet.

Basically could you not use this the same way you use Almond Flour? Sounds devine, I like the thoughts of making Brownies w/it.

[retroworx]

I've been using various peanut flours for a bit. Some thoughts:

1. 2 tbsp of peanut flour generally only reconstitutes as 1 tbsp peanut butter, so if you are calorie counting, you generally need to account for double the stated dry label calories if using as peanut butter. Generally, 1 tbsp of PB made from the flour = 54 calories.

2. This is not generally able to be the main ingredient in a bake mix -- too little fat, no gluten. When added to another bake mix, the flavor seems to dissipate, so I've never gotten a peanut-flavored baked good by adding it to another low carb mix. It is still useful to add to a mix if you want to add a low calorie, non-carby bulking element, though, and may be the perfect thing to add to an almond mix if you want to reduce the calories somewhat.

3. Makes great peanut sauce, is a great addition to ricotta cheese, yogurt, and protein shakes. Mix with some whipped cream and sweetener and make a peanut butter frosting. Mix with cream cheese and sweetener and make faux pb cheese cake or a cream cheese frosting.

Retroworks, Which one did you buy? 12 or 28 percent?

BabyDollSea:

I purchased more than a year ago from Byrd Mill before they had all these options, so my package doesn't specify which kind. Based on the nutrition stats, I'd say that what I have here is the 28%. And it must be a dark roast because it frankly smells and tastes like coffee to me, and I'm not a coffee fan. I prefer the PB2 from Bell Plantation which is more of a standard peanut butter taste and aroma. They sometimes have delayed shipping issues, though.

There is also a Peanut Butter Powder available from Provident Pantry (do a Google search) which I haven't yet tried.

Marking thread. Yummy sounding.

Has anyone attempted peanut butter cookies with the peanut flour? If not...any ideas or suggestions as to a recipe?

[UtahMama]

Bump - someone out there must have an idea

[AllieCat0817]

I just mixed 4 tb whipped cream cheese, 1 tb peanut flour, 1 tb chocolate whey protein powder, 1 tb coconut oil, a dash of coconut sf syrup & a dash of chocolate sf syrup.. nuked it in the microwave and am about to have it as part of my lunch. I did taste it and OMGGGGGG. Insane. 292 cals.

[TaDa!]

Allie - wanna come to massachusetts and cook for me???!!!! OMG! That sounds sooooooo yummmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!

[getting2goal]

Is the 12% just like the PB2?

[pamk]

I love the Plantation Bell PB2 but it has some sugar raising the carb level, I also have tried the Emergency Essential PNB flour, also about 1 carb per TBSP, can anyone tell me the difference in the Byrd Mills to PB2 and EE?

I've done Byrd Mill and PB2 and the Byrd Mill has a heavier, darker roast flavor. The PB2 when hydrated to peanut butter consistency tastes more like the store-bought kind to me.

I bought some of this and was wondering if y'all could post some ideas or recipes for me. I have no idea what to do with this stuff. I love PB so I thought this would satisfy that craving once in a while. Is the carb count 7 grams per 1/4 cup? It is printed very lightly on one bag but not on the other. I bought one of each of the 12% (light & dark).

I made brownie pie w/ the 12%, our family is gluten free so this was great!

1 stick butter, softened
1/2 c. peanut flour
1 c. sugar (I used 1/3 c. xylitol, 1 dropperful stevia, and 1/3 c. natural turbinado)
4 TB cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs

Beat all ingredients 4 minutes, pour into buttered pie pan and bake @325 for 25 minutes

[TaDa!]

Janette - was the brownie pie yummy? I have been fooling around with a recipe for brownies that calls for almond flour or almond flour and carbquik and so far I am not that crazy about it, planning on more tweaking, etc ...

I guess my questions:

1. is it moist enough?
2. Is it chocolatey enough
3. Can you taste the peanut buuter (yum!)

Thanks!!!! I think I might be ready to order if I can use it in baked goods

Next batch of sweet Oopsies I am going to try some PNB flour.

[seb]

I just got my order of the 12% light roast and added 2 T to my yogurt/cottage cheese mixture and it was fabulous! Can't wait to try other recipes with it.

[rowdy1]

I use peanut butter powder from Emergency Essentials and it's fabulous too as an alternative to regular peanut butter. My 72 serving size of PB powder was about $16.00.

I'll have to do some comparison shopping at Byrd Mill as well....

I mix about 2 Tbl of my peanut butter powder (70 calories...4 grm fat) in my 1 cup of yogurt and add some sweetner and 2 Tbl. of some type of lc chocolate chip....now that's a breakfast!

See thread on LC Milk:
Homemade Low Carb Milk

I used Peanut Flour and LC Milk to make a yummy shake. Tastes almost like soft serve ice cream:

• 1 Cup LC Milk
• 1/4 cup Peanut Flour
• 2 Scoops whey protein powder (I used "metabolic ReSet")
• S.F. Chocolate syrup (I used Davinci's)
  1 oz cream cheese, optional
• Lots of Ice

Blend everything, but ice, well Then add ice and blend well again. This is so good I couldn't believe it. Thanks to all for the ideas and recipes

I thought it was very good, I made it again this week and just used a scant 1/2 c. xylitol and 2 droppers of liquid stevia for the sweeteners. I think it was even better than the one I sweetened w/ turbinado! I used the light pb powder, so it had a faint pb taste. I also have the dark, I may try that w/ the next batch. I baked it 20 minutes on 325 and it was moist in the middle, if you wanted it more moist you could take it out at 15. The only thing I can complain about is that I somehow confuse it w/ being 2 servings instead of 8.

[jgw]

Enough said, I am putting my order in today!

[TaDa!]

woohoo!! I finally ordered Alliecat!!! I ordered the 5 lb 28% cos I trust you guys so much!!!
