Calling all peanut butter fans! PB&J burgers are delish!

Peanut butter has always been my favorite. I still enjoy a PB&J sandwich just as much as when I was little.  

Now as an adult I love to find new ways to add peanut butter into some of my favorite recipes.

Our weekends during the spring and summer usually include grilling burgers. Making peanut butter buns makes these burgers taste amazing.

Believe me, PB&J on a burger is something you don’t want to miss out on.

Why is peanut butter great for burgers?

Peanut butter is so yummy and versatile. Adding peanut butter to desserts or a savory dish can really make it stand out.

There is a great boost of nutritious protein in peanut butter too!

Is peanut butter nutritious?

Yes! Peanut butter is amazing because only 2 tablespoons packs eight whole grams of protein, two grams of fiber and 12 grams of unsaturated fat!

All this for something that tastes so amazing!

 More Tips for this Peanut Butter Burger Recipe

• Use whatever kind of peanut butter you like. I love classic peanut butter, the kind you stir up when you first get it. You can also use crunchy peanut butter for extra crunch!
• If you don’t have the ingredients for bacon jam try your burger with bacon or just regular jam
• Don’t leave your peanut butter buns on the grill too long or they might burn
• Spice up your bacon jam with a little cayenne pepper
