Peanut butter. Fitness junkies consider it a superfood high in healthy fats, never failing to include it in their protein shakes, smoothies and morning toast while others—like us—appreciate it for its sinful appeal. Adding it into a dessert or even a dish provides a heightened butteriness accented with a nutty flavour that is just pure bliss.

As a flavour of ice cream, on pancakes, layered into a decadent chocolate cake or even slapped on a savoury beef burger, here is our list of peanut butter-laden dishes in Singapore loaded with nutty, buttery goodness. You’ll fall in love #3 in a heartbeat.

CREAMIER – PEANUT BUTTER JELLY ICE CREAM

Located in the tranquil, nature-filled enclave of Gillman Barracks lies Creamier, an artisanal ice cream parlour that boasts some seriously interesting flavours. We are huge fans of their Peanut Butter & Jelly flavour as well as their locally inspired Kaya Toast.

EDITH PATISSERIE – PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

Sticky, chewy and loaded with decadence in the form of fudge chocolate and creamy, slightly savoury swirls of peanut butter, what could beat that? Available in a box of 6 or 25, this is one artery-clogging delight that will score you brownie points (pun intended) at your next house gathering.

FAT BOYS – THE ELVIS

If you’re wondering why the association with rock ’n roll legend, Elvis Presley, well, it’s because the man absolutely loved the stuff. Peanut butter and bacon was his guilty pleasure and a testament to his love for it, the burger comes loaded with a bacon stuffed pork patty, grilled bananas and creamy peanut butter. After your first bite, we guarantee you’ll be “all shook up”.

FRESH FRUITS LAB – ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER CHOC CAKE

Available only on weekends between 10am to 3pm, their Ultimate Peanut Butter Choc Cake is not one to be missed. Decadent chocolate is further complemented by a salty nutty flavour that just makes this dessert so irresistibly good.

GROUP THERAPY – PEANUT BUTTER BANANA WAFFLE

Famous for being one of the most chill cafes around and, hands down, one of our favourite places to get solid waffles, is Group Therapy. Their menu boasts a wide selection of brunch delights but we always make it a point to order up their Peanut Butter Banana Waffle.

JIE BAKERY – PEANUT BUTTER TOAST

Trumping regular store-bought loaves any day, Jie Bakery in Taiseng is one of the few surviving traditional bakeries in Singapore.

PARK BENCH DELI – PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SANDWICH

Generously slathered with peanut butter, jelly and chocolate before being fully encrusted in corn flakes and deep-fried to golden, oozy perfection, if the Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich over at Park Bench Deli doesn’t kill you, we don’t know what will.

TOAST BOX – PEANUT BUTTER

Toastbox is not a name unheard of, especially not if you’re someone that hankers after the classic breakfast combo of kaya toast, half-boiled eggs and kopi in the morning. Besides kaya, they also have a peanut butter option that goes equally well with eggs and freshly brewed coffee.

TWELVE CUPCAKES – PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE

The best way to spoil a sweet tooth is to present them with a box of cupcakes. Over at established Twelve Cupcakes, their flavours rotate on a monthly basis with their Peanut Butter Chocolate making appearances on odd months. You can’t always get it, but when it’s available, you really need to.

TWO MEN BAGEL HOUSE – PBJ

Bagels are a New Yorkers staple and while they look like a doughnut, they really aren’t as greasy, let alone heart attack-inducing. They are baked instead of fried and are much denser. The common combination is to eat it with cream cheese, capers, dill and smoked salmon but here at Two Men Bagel House, they do it in numerous ways—some even too crazy to imagine. We love their PBJ, a bagel loaded with creamy peanut butter and sweet, tangy jelly.

Bakery-cum-café Délifrance – a leading pioneer of artisanal French pastries – is a reputable household name in Singapore that everyone knows.

Just when you thought their French Butter Croissant is all to love, wait till you find out about what they have up their sleeves lately!

The renowned brand recently launched a series of gourmet Halal-certified mini flavour bursting croissants, and they are available in the following flavours – Cookie Butter, Hazel O’tella, P’Nut Lava and Salted Egg.

These handcrafted croissants are baked fresh daily, and each sweet treat is stuffed with generous amounts of fillings so that it bursts with flavour with every bite.

From now till 19 June 2016, all of you are entitled to a complimentary croissant with every three pieces purchased. All you have to do is to simply share this blog post on your Facebook, flash it to the Délifrance’s staff.

Délifrance’s talented pastry team has successfully integrated flavours that we all love into their authentic French croissants; the end result is a series of delightful snacks that can be eaten at any time of the day.

These palm-size treats are ideal for quick-fix breakfasts, snacks to be served at events, or any time you need some happy food to brighten your day!

Each croissant at Délifrance is prepared with painstaking craftsmanship; 27 layers have been created to achieve a luscious honeycomb structure. Délifrance takes pride in serving the freshest and tastiest authentic French croissants. This dedication includes importing all the flour and butter used directly from France.

Délifrance’s croissants are characterised by the alternating distinct layers of crustiness and flakiness. The crescent-shaped pastries are crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy and buttery inside. This is truly what a good croissant should be like!

Délifrance has added final touches to the croissants by incorporating ingredients with contrasting textures.

The P’Nut Lava croissants are topped with desiccated coconut shreds, and are for those who prefer a rich, creamy sweetness.

Then, there is the Hazel O’tella which are essentially Nutella-filled croissants sprinkled with chopped almond. What’s better than a buttery croissant?

Délifrance’s Nutella-filled croissant, of course! Think savoury butter saltiness coupled with contrasting creamy sweetness from Nutella; the end result is a luscious treat with every bite of the Hazel O’tella.

The Salted Egg croissants made with real salted egg yolk and they are covered in sesame seeds to give it a nice bite while enhancing the saltiness with a subtle hint of fragrance.

The Cookie Butter croissants finished with Biscoff caramelized biscuit crumbs are such sheer delights that really got us cookie lovers swooning. The kids will love this too.

Trust us that one flavour-bursting croissant is not enough!

You would probably expect such high-quality delicacies to be pricey, but these are affordable luxuries at S$2.30 each and S$6 for three.

If you are buying these croissants to go, you need not eat them cold. To restore the cold croissants to its fresh-from-the-oven glorious state, preheat your oven to 170 degrees celsius, then put the croissants in for 30 seconds to warm them up.

It is worth mentioning that the croissants actually do still taste good when left outside in room temperature. But of course, nothing beats a lukewarm croissant oozing the flavours we all love!
