Hi Heather - The Peanut Butter Bread is great. Made it for a peanut butter addict and he loved it. Anyway, do you think people are shying away from my post/recipe because of it being a trigger? Can it still be a trigger if cooked in the bread? It's mixed thoroughly through the dough using the bread machine and rises so high, almost pokes a hole thru the top of the bread machine. Kids love it too. Thx for your response.
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, but have been busy with the "businesses". Had to go "down the hill" and buy vittles today for the next two weeks. We live about 25 miles from the closest grocery store. Finally got a few minutes to sit down to read the last few days postings after my bi-monthly shopping trip.

Hi - Yeah, it can be a trigger if there is too much of it per serving. Peanut butter is basically pure fat, so I'd treat it like I would olive oil or canola oil. As an ingredient in baking, it the amount per serving comes out to a tablespoon or less, and there's a soluble fiber basis, it should be okay.
I've found it's hard to use peanut butter in recipes and get the flavor without having to add too much of it. I've played around with Asian peanut sauces for noodles and just can't get the fat level low enough without losing all the flavor. Same thing for peanut butter cookies.
I'd guess that your peanut butter bread is probably one of the safest ways to use the ingredient, especially if someone is stable.
