Peanut Flour?!

[figaromeetsmarie]

I recently bought some of Trader Joe's peanut flour and have been dying to implement it into my baking but have found a lack of recipes to use it on.

It's partially defatted and 16g of protein per 1/4 cup.

Any type of recipe would be great, not just baking

Thanks

Bell Plantation's version of this product is called PB2. There are some recipes here as well:

I have no clue, but the 'peanut police' people may come out to crucify you.

I have a friend who just uses it like regular peanut butter (like for sandwiches). I think she just adds some water to reconstitute it to the thickness she likes.

She said she uses it to cut out all the fat from regular peanut butter. Sounds like a great idea to me!

Now, if I really was dying to bake with it, I would just sub it for a portion of the flour in any baking recipe. But only for a part, maybe 1/4 C? I like to experiment, so I would start there and add more each time I tried it.

I think it would be great in soups too........I make pumpkin soup that I usually put peanut butter in, but the powder should work fine too......also in coconut curries......Pad Thai.......Mmmm now I'm thinking about putting it in frostings......

I use it. My DD is gluten free. Just subsitute 1/3 cup per cup of flour. IE 1/3 cup peanut flour + 2/3 cup regular flour = 1 cup of flour.

I use ground up almonds as a substitute for flour sometimes, in order to make cookies for dessert. I imagine you could do the same with peanut flour - just add an egg white, a bit of sugar or sugar substitute and a tiny bit of salt. Then you can shape it into little cookies.

My almond cookies are dense, but surprisingly convincing. And yummy! Most people assume they're made with flour.
