Can you use this in baking? Has anyone tried? I am not into smoothies but do use a lot of peanut butter in baking.

Certainly can use BP PB2 in baking and cooking. I've added powdered PB2 directly to pancake/waffle batter and have reconstituted (with water) PB2 to peanut butter cookies.

yes I use it in cookies all the time. I just put the amount of powder in and then 1/2 that for the water. (1/4C of PB2 and 1/8C water.) just like the directions say.

I am a pastry chef, so I do have some things you want to consider. You can use this by rehydrating the powder, as per directions, but the lack of fat (oils,moisture) is going to affect the texture. You should adjust the rest of the recipe by adding something that will bring moisture to the recipe and something that also acts as a tenderizer. If you just want to add it to a recipe that does not call for peanut butter, but you want the flavor, you won't have to worry too much about that.

It is a dry powder that you mix with water. I've not tried to bake with it, but if you mixed up the PB2 to the amount you would use, it would be just like peanut butter you would get from a jar.... but without all the fat as regular peanut butter.

Yes. You mix the amount you need and use it exactly like peanut butter. Do not add it as a powder (unless PB2 comes out with a recipe book)

Contact the company directly with that question. This peanut butter is wonderful, and they have been very helpful when I have contacted them.

No, it's not that smooth..but will blend fine in a smoothie. I eat it by itself or make fudge with it. Here's a tasty recipe! HoneyOrganic cocoaCoconut butter and or coconut oilVanillaAlmond butterCoconut milk if you want to dip fruit in it, like a sauce

It came with a smaller container that is supposed to be for food processing. Yes, you definitely can make milk shakes. But, I have no idea if it could make peanut butter. I wanted it to make smoothies, but it does not chop or blend frozen fruit well at all. That is why I bought it, so I was disappointed from that aspect. I would just be concerned that if it can not chop frozen fruit well, it may not successfully blend peanuts into peanut butter.

I have only used my for nuts and spices. I have no idea about peanut butter. It's a great machine...

Yes, that's all we use. When you first use it the oil is all on top. Its a little messy but use a knife and slowly fold the oil all the way in to the peanut butter, make sure you get the bottom well mixed. Then when you need to use it next time it is usually still pretty well mixed, maybe just needing a couple of folds. Been using this for years and replaces any peanut butter use, it is not sweet since no sugar and it doesn't spread quite as easily as processed peanut butter but that is worth it to us. Hope this helps.

It's just a tad bit thicker than peanut butter. If you whip it a bit with a beater to mix everything together I think it'd be fine. Or add a smidge of coconut milk or something to soften it.

you can't. It will never taste like real butter. You can add it to your baking to give a buttery taste, but I never found a way to use it as a substitute for butter, not even in vegetables. Since it has the same calories as butter, I couldn't figure the advantage. I ended up tossing it.

We tried making almond butter with this blender and were not successful. It's partially our fault for thinking that if you soak the nuts for a few hours it would help blended them up faster. We have not tried since then. I know this does not necessarily answer your question but thought I would share my experience.

I like to use it to flavor frosting. It is better that jarred pb since it won't make it so oily, It is a lighter flavour. I also like to mix the powder with cinnamon and dip apple slices in it. It's also pretty as a varnish, like in place of powdered sugar:) .

The manufacturer says you can make peanut butter with this unit. However, if that is all you want to make, I would look at a different solution. This is primarily a "juicer" that has parts to allow you to make peanut butter.

No, this is not like flour- it is more like wheat germ in size and texture, though a little finer. It absorbs some liquid also- I stir it into smoothies AFTER I pour it into a glass. If you put it in your blender with all the other ingredients it blends in just fine, but some will stick to the sides of the blender and make it harder to clean....just fyi. I have also used it in muffins and it was great...in fact it was the muffin recipe on the package of this product.

Thanks Charles! I chose strawberry then and still love it. It's about to finish so your comment is useful now if not then :D . This time I will check out chocolate peanut butter. Take care..

You can eat it right out of the jar or use it in recipes. I found a few online. Just google "Cookie butter recipes." Mostly, I just ate it with a spoon, right out of the jar.

Ok, here is my third attempt to answer this as my phone is having problems. I've used it in cold recipes like pudding, mostly protein shakes. I imagine you can stir it into foods that are hot, but am not sure what would happen if you baked it like in a cupcake. However, there are unflavored proteins you can stir into soups, stews, etc.

When I created a smoothie with a cup of frozen blueberries the blender worked hard to chop through the blueberries, but it finally succeeded. The peanut butter should not be a problem but it may take a minute or two to get through it. A five inch jar of pb should not be a problem.

Also recipe for cookies makes a difference. I use butter in my batter - cookies are amazing
