In this article, I'll guide you through the best way to make peanut butter coffee at home in just a few minutes, including how to make it iced!

What is peanut butter coffee?

Peanut butter coffee is a type of coffee that has been blended with peanut butter.

It is typically made by adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to a cup of hot coffee and then mixing it until the peanut butter is thoroughly incorporated.

Peanut butter coffee is a popular drink for anyone who wants a creamier, more dessert-like coffee with a nutty twist.

Peanut butter in coffee, does it taste good?

Adding peanut butter to your coffee creates a creamy, rich, and delicious beverage.

The peanut butter takes the edge off the bitterness and gives the coffee a richer, smoother texture with a lightly nutty flavor.

If you love the flavor of coffee and peanut butter, this coffee recipe is worth trying out for yourself.

You can make this drink however you like and customize it to taste with your preferred sweeteners or other add-ins, which I'll discuss further down.

Before getting into the recipe, let's go over the ingredients that you need to make this delicious coffee drink at home:

What ingredients are needed to make peanut butter coffee?

For this easy-to-make recipe, you'll need three main ingredients:

• Brewed coffee. I prefer to use a French press because it yields the best flavor, but any method will do.
• Peanut butter. My favorite is all-natural, creamy peanut butter. It has no added sugars, so you can also taste your home-brewed coffee!
• Milk of your choice. You can use any type of milk. I'm using whole milk for a full and creamy flavor.

In five minutes, the above-listed ingredient will make the easiest and most delicious peanut butter coffee.

Optional sweeteners and flavors can be added as desired. Some people like to add chocolate or cinnamon for extra flavor.

Cocoa powder is also a great add-in to your peanut butter coffee.

You can also experiment with different natural flavors by adding honey or maple syrup to your coffee.

I like to top my iced peanut butter coffee with a serving of whipped cream. It'll add a bit of sweetness, and it looks amazing when serving it to your guests!

What is the best brewed coffee to use?

There are two primary methods for brewing coffee at home: the drip method and the immersion method.

Both options will work remarkably well when trying out this recipe at home.

With drip coffee, you add ground coffee to a paper or metal filter that's placed in a cone-shaped brewing device.

Hot water is then poured over the grounds, and the brewed coffee drips down into a carafe or pot.

With immersion coffee, you add ground coffee to a vessel (such as a French press), then pour hot water over the grounds and let it steep for a few minutes.

After steeping, you use a plunger to push the grounds to the bottom of the vessel, separating the brewed coffee from the grounds.

You can make your coffee as strong as you like, depending on the type of coffee beans you use.

Have a look below for the coffee roasts that I found work well with this coffee recipe.

Which coffee roasts are best used for this recipe?

Medium and dark roasts are best for peanut butter coffee.

A medium roast has a deeper flavor than a light roast, which brings out the chocolate and nutty flavors in the coffee.

A dark roast will have an even richer flavor with more of a bitter cocoa taste, especially when using an extra dark roast.

Either roast will work well with peanut butter, but I personally prefer the taste of a dark roast with peanut butter.

Can you make a peanut butter iced coffee?

You can definitely make peanut butter iced coffee at home! You can follow the same steps listed in the recipe below, but you can serve it on ice instead of hot.

I recommend cooling the coffee before mixing all the ingredients together. Alternatively, you can add a few ice cubes to the blender to keep the mixture cool.

Make sure you have enough ice cubes in the freezer so you can serve this coffee as cold as you can!

You can opt to make coffee ice cubes ahead of time. These special ice cubes will slowly release more coffee flavor into your drink, rather than diluting it with water.

If you're interested in making some yourself, you can find the complete recipe for it here.

Peanut butter coffee is a delicious drink you can enjoy any time of day, and one I love when I'm craving something sweet, creamy, and a little different from my usual cup.
