Count me in — I had a generous couple spoonfuls on my Pbu Steel Cut Oats with Maple Syrup and Fresh Blueberries this morning:
What's Pbu (pronounced pboo), you ask? Emily's awesome idea involves mixing peanut butter with a little almond milk, a dash of salt, and some optional cinnamon for an unbelievably smooth and creamy lower-fat version of peanut butter. It's lower in fat because it's thinned out with the almond milk, but that milk gives it the consistancy of super-thick PB smoothie. And everyone knows that anything that tastes like a PB smoothie has to be the best food ever, right?Emily's recipe and Pbu FAQ sheet can be found on her blog. I actually halved her recipe since I knew I wouldn't go through 2 1/2 to 3 cups of Pbu before the almond milk in it goes bad. But I made a whole jar's worth, and it'll be topping my oats, my toast, my celery, my everything all week long.
All hail Pbu!

Oh, NICE! I'm off PB right now, but I'll likely be making ABU!
thanks for the link, this sounds like an awesome idea.
i love that idea... and i sounds like it would taste sooo good in my banana smoothies!
I need to go shopping! I haven't had any peanut butter in a while. I totally have to eat this for breakfast. It sounds very, very delicious.
P.S. Happy belated anniversary to you and Paul!
Thanks for the shout-out girl!
LOVE me some Pbu/Abu!
I keep seeing that EVERYWHERE but I always forget to make it!! Uhhh! Looks good!

I made this a few days ago because it is SO cool. Then I realized that the only time I really eat Peanut Butter is out of the jar with a spoon. So it hasn't been getting much use in my house, but it sure is yummy!
i've never used a full serving of PB in my life. IMO a little goes a long way.
That does sound like a good oatmeal mix-in!
yes bianca, bloomington is super awesome. you may move here any time you'd like. you're bound to find safe, affordable housing with adorable punk rock vegans. i can totally hook you up.
Yum! Adding PB to your oatmeal is such a good idea, it looks delicious.
superw00t! i've gotta try this pbu, Bianca - it sounds too awesome!
Yummy breakfast!!! :)
I noticed you were from MS... my husband and I live here, he was born and raised :)
seriously, all hail pbu!
I like this idea very, very much. I just had a spoonful of pb on my oatbran this morning, and it would be awesome to be able to add more volume without a ton of calories!
I've been dying to try PBU! This weekend, I hope.
