Yes, peanut butter. On a burger. It may sound strange at first, but food nerds and flavor pros swear by it. And once you try it, you may never go back. Let’s break down why this idea is brilliant and how to do it right.
Why Peanut Butter Works on a Burger
Peanut butter brings that crave-worthy sweet-salty-savory-umami combo that instantly makes a burger taste better. Peanut butter is a little rich, a little sweet and deeply nutty, which are all qualities that play well with savory grilled beef.
On a burger, peanut butter adds creaminess (no mayo needed!) and a touch of sweetness to balance savory toppings, like salty bacon or spicy jalapeños, plus a depth of flavor that elevates plain patties.

Go with smooth, natural peanut butter—ideally unsweetened. Crunchy varieties can compete with your toppings (unless you like going full chaos mode) and peanut butters with added sugar can skew a bit too sweet. You want the peanut butter to melt slightly into the bun and complement the meat, not overpower it.
How to Add Peanut Butter to Burgers
Ready to give it a try? Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the bottom bun—or the top one, too. (If the bun is toasted, even better; the PB will kind of melt into the warm bun.)
Pile on salty, bold toppings like bacon, pickles, sautéed onion, pickled jalapeños and/or a drizzle of sriracha, if you like things a little spicy. Add the top bun and serve with plenty of napkins.
What If You’re Allergic to Peanuts?
If you can’t eat peanuts, reach for the sunflower seed butter. It will melt into the warm bun and burger just like peanut butter does. The flavor is slightly earthier, so it may add even more depth. And the same rules apply: Go for the natural, smooth, unsweetened kind.
