Peanut Butter is one of those ingredients that you either love or hate.

I’ve never met someone who’s ‘meh’ about peanut butter

Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast

 

 

 

While I was growing up, Peanut Butter was not an ingredient in anything other than cookies, sandwiches and occasionally, if you were wild and crazy… cheesecakes or brownies.

We are definitely living in a different world.

Peanut butter shows up in chinese food, desserts, pizzas, candies and pretty much any dish you can think of

 

My ingredient for this week’s HEB Meal Maker Challenge was Peter Pan Peanut Butter.

Last year I made some ridiculously delicious Peanut Butter, Honey, Apple and Bacon sandwiches that knocked our socks off.

This year, my kids are on a brekkie and brunch kick.

I firmly stand in the french toast as one of the best breakfasts ever camp, so I decided that Peanut Butter stuffed french toast needed to be made.

I was right.

I was so very, very right.

It was so very, very good.

  1. This is one of my hubby’s favorite french toasts. I used to hate PB when I was young. But after trying a PB stuffed French Toast at an Asian cafe, I fell in love with PB. Looking at your pictures make me crave for some right now.

      1. Not really a twist. But the French Toasts at the Asian Cafe are simple deep fried in peanut oil! I guess any thing taste better after deep dried! LOL….maybe that was why it got me hooked! 😉 Happy Friday.

  10. Did almost this exact thing with Biscoff spread instead of peanut butter this weekend, and drizzled with a little honey. I do suggest making a little more of the custard batter, I cut mine with a little heavy cream instead of milk, so you can pour it onto the toast as it cooks, let it soak in good. I transferred mine to a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes after frying, to let it puff up and set good and eggy. Then again, I’m crazy. If you’ve not tried Biscoff, do. It’s fantastic.

    1. I have never had Biscoff, which I know makes me a bad food blogger 😉 These are fabulous with custard, but since I only had 30 minutes and 7 or less ingredients.. per the rules ;-)….

    1. I actually kind of strongly dislike bananas and peanut butter, but this past week while at Harry and David’s headquarters in Oregon, I was introduced to a banana peanut butter.. which is kind of life changing 😉
