Coffee Logic: Peanut Butter
Let’s be logical about this.
- Premise 1: Peanut butter tastes good with chocolate.
- Premise 2: Chocolate tastes good with coffee.
- Conclusion: Peanut butter tastes good with coffee.
I put my logic to the test this morning. Here is the recipe: 1 mug of coffee, 1 pack of sweetener (no sugar, thanks, I’m on a diet), and 1 tablespoon of smooth peanut butter. Scoop peanut butter into mug, add cream and sweetener, then slowly stir in boiling hot coffee. Warning: using chunky peanut butter may result in injury.
How did it taste? This may seem surprising, but it was actually very good. The PB gave the coffee a mild nutty flavour, and also made it a bit creamier, presumably due to the “butter” part.
I’m surprised this isn’t more common. There is hazelnut coffee (mmmmm) and almond coffee (mmmmm), so what’s so gross about peanut coffee? Nothing. Mmmmm! And butter? There’s already butter caramel coffee at Tim Horton’s. I’m just putting all this deliciousness together for the benefit of mankind. You’ll see; Starbucks will see this blog and copy my idea, and soon there will be peanut butter coffee wherever there are pretentious people willing to pay too much for it.
One disclaimer, though. When you get to the bottom of the mug, there is a thick sludge of PB that didn’t want to dissolve. It feels like drinking warm snot. So, uh, there might be a few bugs to work out. But hey, the first 90% of the cup? Delicious! Try it!

Putting Weird Things in Coffee 
This a new one! I put so much creamer in my coffee, there is not much room for anything else. I do enjoy the taste of Hazelnut coffee and chocolate in coffee. For 100 flavors in coffee, check out http://www.cosmopolitancoffee.com
I have not heard of this one. I like Hazelnut and chocolate flavored coffee. I thought this recipe sounded interesting until the “snot” reference; I don’t know if I’d want to see the sludge at the bottome of the cup. If you’re interested in tasting lots of different flavors in coffee, check out http://www.cosmopolitancoffee.com
Use a *bouquet garni* containing the peanut butter. You will get the flavor, without the sludgy residue. Just like a teabag. All you need is a piece of cheesecloth fabric and string.
all you need is a whisk.
Yeah, I’ve added peanut butter AND chocolate to my coffee in the past (delicious!), but I haven’t tried PB all by itself. I really loved the Reese’s coffee, so I’ll probably dig it.
I love your new blog – I think it’s an awesome idea.
How did I wind up here? I don’t really even like coffee that much. But peanut butter, you are my weakness.
I just tried this idea, and my dad walked in and jokingly suggested I add jelly. So I did, and it was actually really good. It’s like a sandwich in your coffee. Highly recommended.
Ha ha ha! That’s awesome.
A genius suggestion! I hope you don’t mind if I steal it and post about it.
You can’t argue with that logic. I’m going to have to give it a shot.
Sweet blog by the way – very original.
Thanks dude.
I remember my grandmother putting peanut butter in her coffee…back in 1975. I was only about 10 years old then. She’d give me a sip every now and then, and I remember it tasting really good.
one word: NUTELLA.
Nutella’s definitely on the to-try list. I love hazelnut and I love chocolate, so it can’t fail.
There’s no butter in peanut butter.
Also, peanuts are legumes, not even nuts. So no comparison to “tree nuts.”
I just found your blog from reading Neatorama and I adore it! I love coffee and seriously, you inspired me to try the peanut butter one. So I tried it and I was dumbfounded, it was great! I mean, I have a new fave in coffee mixes! I put a dollop of the peanut butter in with a tablesppon of sugar and boiling coffee and used a hand mixer to get it well blended and though it has a sort of burnt peanut smell it tasted wonderful; I will definately do it again. Thank you so much for brightenning my day with your witty and awesomely funny posts and I look forward to reading more of your discoveries!
Jasper: Certainly there is fatty butter-like stuff. Whatever.
Courtney: Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it; you technique sounds much better than mine. Your comment certainly brightened my day as well.
You sir are barely scratching the surface of the spiral into a realm you cannot comprehend. I can categorically say that the best drink I’ve ever tasted was a Peanut Butter Mocha at the Davenport Lounge Coffee House at American University (Washington, DC). Apparently there’s a syrup. Until that time, I tried powdered peanut butter (PB2 as it’s called) and similar to what you have attempted here.
However, what you suggest with your quick formula reminds me of my greatest concoction to date: OATFFEE. I implore you to follow the link if you dare. http://www.notquitewrong.com/rosscottinc/2008/09/30/the-system-64/
Oh my, I dared! Perhaps it’s time to start PuttingCoffeeinWeirdThings.com? Hmm.
Although, given that there is (delicious) oatmeal beer out there, oatmeal in coffee could be pretty not bad. Our logic is infallible, after all.
Also: I must find this mythical peanut butter syrup. Or travel to Washington.
Thank you sir.
Got here from Rosscott, Inc. Glad he posted a link to your site, because PuttingWeirdThingsInCoffee.com is officially my new favorite site on the entire Internet! Congratulations.
Thank you! You are my new favourite commenter on the entire internet.
I’ve actually been putting peanut butter in my coffee for a long time. I thought I was weird, so I googled “peanut butter coffee” and this blog showed up. I’m glad other people have discovered this too!
We made it this morning prior to taking a glance to this blog. Being silly I wanted to see if anyone else has tried it. It was delicious, but we put coffee, sugar, peanut butter in a food processor. It blended it all together and put this expensive foam on top. There wasn’t any snot on the bottom of our cups. Maybe attempt this technique? We are going to try to see if anyone would be willing to try it at our restaurant.
you should have blended it (:
Let me act like a teenager and say: “OMG, I totally drink coffee with peanut butter all the time!!”
Everyone thought I was weird for this, so I Googled it. Of course, this was first on my search results!
I am glad I’m not the only one with this idea. Is there any way to add pb to the coffee itself before it is brewed? Damn. Forgot to buy peanut butter. Why don’t you try it and post?! Put the peanut butter (aaaaand jelly?) in the filter first, then add the coffee. I also considered adding sesame/peanut oil, or the oil at the top of natural peanut butter, which just seems to be peanut oil and butter, I don’t know.
So excited to find this website!
I randomly decided to try putting peanut butter in my coffee today, but googled it first just to reassure myself that I’m not totally insane. That’s when I found this post!
I only have crunchy peanut butter at home, so what I did was add it to the milk first.
I warmed the milk and PB mixture over the stove and stirred continuously till the butter part was fully dissolved.
Then I added the espresso to the milk and PB, and used a strainer to pour the whole thing into a cup so that I wouldn’t have to drink peanut pieces and globs of butter.
I love it! It’s delicious.
HAHAHA!!
Bored at work and thought what the heck, why not add some peanut butter to my coffee. Only have crunchy so will have t0 be careful when the chunks of peanut are pouring in my mouth. Too funny that I decided to search it on the web after the fact.
Cheers
I was considering putting the new Biscoff spread in my coffee, but couldn’t find that, so I googled “peanut butter coffee” and this came up. Now I will have to try both!
Stumbled upon your recipe looking for a way to replicate a Skinny Peanut Butter Coffee & Chocolate served in a little coffee bar in La Parguera, PR. It was FANTASTIC! They used Ghirardelli chocolate, by the way. The Ghirardelli website does not have the recipe.
Try it iced/blended to avoid the sludge of PB in the bottmo, it works! Use skim milk vs. creamer, even better!
I can’t drink black coffee very well and I don’t want to go to the store atm to get creamer. So i googled the one thing remotely fathomable I have to put in coffee ( like uhm I say no to soy sauce ) peanut butter. I mixed it in chunky peanutbutter straight from the carafe the best I could. and it ended up being a disaster in a cup. hardly drinkable. didnt taste aweful, but certainly not appetizing.
I found this blog on Google just now thinking about whether anyone else has tried putting Peanut Oil in their coffee as well. Turns out, if you have freezer-smelling, dried coffee beans that have been sitting in the icebox for three weeks, it really tastes fresh again. Glad to find someone else try interesting coffee mixes. And now reading that peanut butter in coffee (with great deductive reasoning 😉 ) is a good idea, I must now try it! Great post.
I actually just did this and then googled ‘peanut butter coffee’ to see if anyone else has done it.
I’m not original. But I’m also not insane, my idea has been legitimized. 😀
It’s freakin’ delicious.
All the pb sits at the bottom of the cup and tastes kind of gross at the end..
I was on the verge of doing this so I had to Google it. I LOVE my toast n PB with coffee.. the combo is so tasty! If no bread a spoonful will do..& I thought pb coffe would be wicked! Imma try this!!!!
I too invented Peanut Butter Coffee. Then I went to the internet and found out I’m not the first. I put a spoon full of peanut butter in my mocha and just kept stirring it until it completely dissolved. There was nothing left at the bottom just a great tasting drink.
Lately my coffee has been pretty flat and boring in the morning but adding peanut butter was the perfect kick! Thank you!! 🙂
I googled peanut butter and coffee because I’ve long found that a slice of peanut butter toast while drinking my morning coffee, made the coffee taste deliciously more coffee-ish! I have no idea why, just always assumed this was one of those complimentary food pairings. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who found them complimentary.
I read about bulletproof coffee yesterday using grass fed salt free butter in your coffee, of which I had none. But I do have coconut oil, so I tried that this am. Just stirred in a teaspoon of it into my mug, and still added cream and sweetner like always. Very tasty. Provides lip balm too!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not
writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted
to say wonderful blog!
I ran out of creamer and decided to add peanut butter to try it…my officemate told me it was gross, so I google it, and lo and behold, here I am! Unfortunately, my peanut butter was all natural chunky, so it wasn’t all that great. I think I’ll just stick to the creamer next time 😦 Although I do suspect Nutella will probably be good.
I like to put Chocolate Protien Powder in that morning cup of coffee.
What’s strange is that I used the same logic to come to this conclusion, A+B = good, B+C = good, therefore A+C = good. I also had the same thoughts as you – it has a kind of hazelnut flavor. We do need a way to remove the sludge at the bottom though, I was thinking either blend the coffee or use peanut flour.
i combine……………
coffee, all natural peanut butter, oats, protein powder and wheat germ to make a high protein packed get you going mix. The consistency is like reg oatmeal but with a kick start to your workout.
i also mix straight dry espresso directly into my pb when i make a pb sandwich.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for.
Would you offer guest writers to write content available
for you? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome web site!
Biggby Coffee chains have had peanut butter syrup before to make peanut butter coffee in the past, and some franchises will do a Reese’s coffee.
I am trying to find peanut butter coffee to buy online and here I am. Guess the obvious answer should have been “put it in” but hey, it is the technology age, why not google how to buy it?!
You have to try PB2, its powdered to it dissolved right away. =D
This is what I do! I also use the chocolate PB2, yummmm!
Having read this I believed it was rather informative.
I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this informative article together.
I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading
and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it!
Good call! I tip my hat to you, sir.
Hi to every body, it’s my first pay a visit of this website; this
weblog includes awesome and actually fine information for readers.

This is a nice blog i should say, I generally i do
not post remarks on many other blogs but would like to point
out that this post definitely compelled me to do so!
That is, if I’m keen to pay out the $a hundred bucks or so to
buy it.

shaken, not stirred! I made this with two big teaspoons of pb, in a tightly sealed mug shake it vigorously! it will be foamy on top (not sure if my organic pb makes a difference). take the lid off and stir in your cream and sugar as usual. I do this then add plenty of ice (I don’t like hot liquids).
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the
head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something concerning this.

Everyone loves what you guys are usually up too.
This sort of clever work and coverage! Keep up the excellent works
guys I’ve included you guys to my blogroll.
I see we have the same idea. I was at work one day and tries putting PB in my coffee and to my surprise I really enjoyed it. Now I put in every cup of coffee that I drink. I asked myself why isn’t there PB flavored coffee on the market because it taste delicious. I also tried it with the crunchy peanut butter but like you said it feels like you’re containing snot, but the crunchy PB leaves you with peanuts in the end of drinking it. Enjoy your coffe.

I have actually purchased a peanut butter coffee at Wet & Wild Waterpark on the Gold Coast in Australia
Blend it while its hot to get rid of the chuncks. Best thing you ever had.
i love how they think peanut butter has butter in it hahaha this person is stupid
Instead of using actual peanut butter I use powdered peanut butter, PB2,and it tastes great!
What really is good is Peanut butter powder!
I am currently suffering from dysphagia (It’s makes It tough to swallow) I had to cut bac significantly on my coffee and one of the quick protein tips is dissolving peanut butter In 4 oz of hot NOT boiling water I added some honey and half and half (sometimes a lil cinnamon) and stir and it’s actually pretty good.
I have been doing it for once a while for the last few years. I just assumed that I was weird. However I’m feeling your logic.
As to mixing in the peanut butter try pouring the PB and boiled water into a jar. Seal it, wait one minute and hand shake. Then add instant coffee. .
(Or substitute boiled water for fresh brewed coffee)
Fyi You can use same process with Nutella, but it turns into hazelnut coffee.
HI
I LOVE peanut butter , so its ano brainer for me , however I was trying to get away from artificial creamers and sweetners so try adding peanut butter and coconut oil ablot a table sppon , put in a blender with the hot coffee .. and get ready to be in coffee heaven NO Crap Coffee .. its LOve in the morning
Please excuse the typo
Good Morning
My name is Ellis and I work with Ninja Goat Nutritionals. Once I read your article, I found great interest in some of your ingredients and knowledge about butter coffee. I would love to tell you about my business and how I make butter coffee.
Ninja Goat Nutritionals makes a product called fatCoffee, which is a quick and easy way to make butter coffee anywhere, anytime- and it’s made with 100% grass fed-butter and organic coconut oil.
Would you be willing to try fatCoffee and let me know what you think about it? I’d be happy to provide a sample, if you can send me your mailing address.
Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon
I’ve actually thought about doing this so googled it and here you are.
Try it with cinnamon peanut butter.
You have to put it in one of those Magic Bullet blenders, add heavy cream, and blend the hell out of it.
Yum.
Also, use real, non-hydrogenated peanut butter (the stuff you refrigerate).
Wow this is so delicious. My friends and I are Missionaries and one of our colleagues is allergic to peanut butter, so we couldn’t have it all year. Today she left, so we had a peanut butter day, and this coffee was the perfect addition. 5 stars!! Patent this asap because you could be rich!!!
Haha you’re 8 years ahead of me. I was brewing my coffee, eating a tsp of peanut butter, and thought, “has anyone merged the two?” High five fellow Canadian!
ROFL!!! I just happened to, one minute ago, I wonder what peanut butter and coffee would taste like. I’m glad I clicked on your link and I’m going to go try it right now. What made me ROFL is the warm snot comment. I am still laughing about it and getting a terrible mental image and texture imagination right now. LOL thanks for the warning
It’s probably no more weird than the Reese’s coffee creamer I currently have in my “coffee”. (Switzerland’s answer to Postum). I certainly will try cutting out the middleman and just dump some peanut butter into my actual coffee, next. You’re a true patriot!
Oh, I didn’t read the whole thing. You might want to try using powdered peanut butter next to see if that doesn’t solve the warm snot result you get at the end. I think the fat content is much lower in the powder, so it might not congeal. On the other hand, I always get a nasty sludge when using powdered cinnamon. Crap doesn’t melt in like I want it to.
Yes! Unsalted unsweetened PB+ Organic Coffee = The Truth.
I typed coffee and peanut butter because I just had the exact same thought. Also try thoroughly whipping your peanut butter before adding anything else for a better result.
I thought the exact same thing! People put hazelnut and almond in coffee, so why not peanut butter?? I found out by accident by using the same spoon I used to scoop peanut butter, to stir my coffee… Then I licked the spoon and I realized the peanut butter that was stuck to the spoon tasted great! Now that we have created peanut butter coffee, the next thing they need to invent is coffee-flavored peanut butter!!!!
Here’s another idea:
There’s a powdered peanut butter product available in the States called “PB Fit” — it’s just roasted, powdered peanuts, with a little palm sugar and kosher salt.
Mixes into coffee quite nicely.
The added protein with a cup after breakfast knocks one’s appetite down a good bit, and makes one less inclined to have hamburgers or donuts for lunch. 🙂
I’m now not positive the place you are getting your info, but good topic.
I needs to spend some time finding out more or understanding more.
Thank you for fantastic info I used to be searching for
this info for my mission.

I found this by accident because I drink coffee while eating my morning oats, which happened to have peanut butter added this morning. Peanut butter and coffee go together so very well.
Warm snot hahaha…totally agree!
Try sticking it in a blender. Like a bulletproof coffee
Yes, that’s an absolute necessity.
This drink is vegan and no ingredient needs refrigeration. For cleanup, wiping the mug and any utensils with paper toweling seems adequate; it seems to have something to do with the peanut oil. The WS problem can be solved by avoiding crunchy and by stirring at intervals while drinking and giving the mug a few good swirls while finishing it off. I use smooth, high-end, stabilized PB in strong-ish instant coffee made with 1 2/3 cups of hot water, plus sugar, and no dairy. One tablespoon is the amount for all three of the solid ingredients. Sixty degrees centigrade (= 2 1/2 minutes in a 700-W microwave) gives better mouth feel than seventy (= 3 minutes). Since we are all against single-use plastics these days, use a wooden stir stick if you want your PB to be eco-PC and have one less thing to clean up. I have a degree in engineering chemistry from Queen’s and a birth certificate from Canada. Now off to help others…

This is one of the most random blogs I stumbled upon. I did however arrive here because I was eating peanut butter and drinking coffee and it turned out so good that I was wondering if it’s actually a thing. It should definitely be a thing.
I had a random thought that peanut butter would taste awesome in coffee. So I googled it to see if anyone else had thought of it… and ended up here! I’m off to try it right now. 🙂
I hope it was good!
delicious!
Can’t wait to try it. I have thought about it before, but never did. My two weaknesses together
It’s right out of Friends, where they are bullied to stay out of Central Perk and have to make cappuccinos at home, “keep stirring, keep stirring, you gotta keep stirring!!!”
