Ever seen a flying squirrel?
These new Flying Squirrel Peanut Butters – designed by Keeley and Erika, college students in Oregon, have just moved to the top of the peanut butter creativity list.
The flavors are SO creative! Pretzel! Salted honey sunflower! Coconut chocolate chunk!!!!?!
And such cute labels and design as well 🙂
So far I have tasted two – the Spazzy Squirrel – Nutmeg, cinnamon, coconut, raisins, and chocolate chunks come together to blow the socks off any traditional peanut butter. [It SO blew my socks off!]
And the Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed – Need a boost of squirrely energy? Spread on this PB swirled with coffee and dark chocolate and you too can gather enough nuts in time for winter… or whatever it is you wanted to get done today.
This guy had chunks of crunchy coffee beans and perfect texture!!
Served over overnight oats!
Kefir Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup Ambrosial muesli mix
- 1/2 cup kefir [like liquid yogurt]
- 1/4 cup milk
- Half banana
- 1 heaping tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch salt
- Salted peanuts
- Flying Squirrel PB
Half a cup of coffee – cause I’m trying to cut back! Clearly I made up for it with my choice of nut butter ; )
Matt and I are off on our bikes to a bizness meeting!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Wow! Those nut butters sound fantastic! Love the unique flavors. 😀
Missy says
What delicious sounding PB’s. The Spazzy Squirrel sounds like it would be a great snack, right from the spoon!
Have a great day. 🙂
olivewineandfood says
i’m gonna have to order some of these! the spazzy squirrel sounds great.
Kay (skinnybound) says
Yum! I love the idea of coffee or pretzel PB!
What I love more is the JARS though. So unique and adorable! I’m a jar-hoarder… I save all of mine to drink from and put flowers in, etc. These would definitely get re-used somewhere visible!
Where did you find out about Flying Squirrel Peanut Butter?

Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
Very creative nut butters, indeed! I can only imagine how yummy the ones with chocolate chunks are!
Hannah says
I seriously cannot cope with your blog sometimes. Just UNFAIR that there’s not even a basic flavoured peanut butter in Australia, let alone anything like this!
Emily says
These pb’s look so good! I love the creativity 🙂 Thanks for showing them to us 🙂
gabriella @ embracement says
Wow those look delicious! I usually rely on PB co for flavored peanut butters but coffee peanut butter? Yes please!
Alayna @ Thyme Bombe says
Every one of those sounds amazing! I love the idea of a peanut butter with coffee.
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
Coffee beans with peanut butter? I love it!!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Oh my goodness those nut butters look SO good. And the packaging is adorable, too- I love that it’s made by college students as well!
Jessica says
First time posting a comment. Love your blog, Kath! I graduated from Davidson with you and Matt and actually worked with him at Jaspers.
A question for you and others: Have you all been able to track down canned pumpkin? Have been looking everywhere with no luck. Even contacted Libby’s and they said they wouldn’t have any until September. I have only 1 can left and would love to re-stock before using my last ration (:
KathEats says
Hey Jessica! I’ll tell Matt you stop in 🙂 How are you?
Did you see this post? I purposefully stocked up in October because it tends to disappear in the spring!

Have a great bike ride!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Those peanut butters sound amazing! I love super thick chunky nut betters! YUM!
danielle says
They might want to reconsider that name “Spazzy Squirrel”. It can be used as a mean term to describe someone with cerebral palsy. This may me a regional thing, but to me it is as inappropriate as naming a peanut butter “Retarded Squirrel”.
KathEats says
I’m sorry that the name offended you. I have not heard of that term before in a negative sense.
Khushboo says
When I’m waking up, I get super excited thinking about my breakfasts! I can only imagine how pumped you must be! Looks delicious as usual.
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Those look so good!! I love the packaging too!
Hannah @ Healthy Whip says
These look great, so yummy. I just want to cry that the only peanut butter options we have in the UK are smooth or crunchy!
Jess @ atasteofconfidence says
Those look amazing!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Those nut butters sound amazing!!

All of those peanut butters sound amazing, especially the chocolate coconut and I love the packaging too!

Once again I love that spoon! It’s so cute! That bright eyed and bushy tailed peanut butter sounds amazing with coffee beans in it and so does the spazzy squirrel ! I need to try some of that stuff! That is SO creative!! 🙂
Ashley says
Hmmm, maybe I *should* start a nut butter business….. 🙂
Jo says
Kefir is more than just liquid yogurt. It has significantly higher levels of healthy bacteria than yogurt, so it is extremely good for your gut!
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food says
Those peanut butters look awesome! One with coconut & chocolate?? I would be all over it 🙂
Marina says
Wow those are such unique peanut butters! That one with coffee sounds incredible, I would stuff my face with it every morning :))

I love new nut butters…these sound so unique and delicious!
Kath (My Funny Little Life) says
I love the idea of nut butter creativity. This is something I’ll replicate with homemade almond butter (since I’m not so much of a PB fan).
Love your spoon! 😀
aimee says
Those nut butters sounds insanely delicious. I would have eaten them straight off my personalized spoon 🙂
Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing says

Good luck at your meeting.
Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather says

You really need all of the Cvillians to have a PB tasting part at your house……
KathEats says
Come by and you can taste them!!
Are you running this weekend? We’re slicing bread!!!
Jess says
We will most definitely be running!!
Great Harvest breads to greet me at the end of a race!?!?!? Just like the old days in Pittsburgh 🙂 I’m super pumped to know this!!!!
I may indeed have to stop by your house with a spoon. You got me on the sunflower seed butter train…LOVE!

I thought these sounded so good that I order two flavors for my family to try. Cannot wait until the girls are off of Spring Break and can ship my buttery goodness.
Carol says
Thanks for sharing your new peanut butter find! I recently started making my own peanut butter with similar variations:)
Hope you have a great day!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says

Katherine: Unemployed says

Melissa says
Those PB’s are inspiring me to get creative with my food processor. I have a big bag of sunflower seeds at home. Hmmmmm . . . .
All the pretty things says
The Spazzy Squirrel looks TO DIE FOR! I could just sink my spoon into that and eat it just like it is….
Probably pretty easy to make at home too… so many possibilites.

I was thinking there wasn’t room for another PB company in the market, but those are so unique! I love that there are textures, adorable logos, and creative names! GOOD LUCK to them!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
awwwwwesome. nut butter made by college students?!? why wasn’t i that motivated in school?!?
Kristina says
Yum!! I need to buy these nut butters now! I always put Kefir or yogurt in my overnight oats…it makes them much creamier than just using milk.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
I used to literally live in the woods in the country and my family had flying squirrels all the time in our bird houses. Never birds, but always flying squirrels. 😉
What awesome flavors! Can’t wait to hear was you think of the rest!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says

Natalia - a side of simple says
What fun nut butter flavors and combinations! I need to get my hands on a food processor and start creating some of my own. They sound delicious!
Christine says
Thanks for the Flying Squirrel link- I checked out their site and can’t wait to order a few jars. They’re pretty inexpensive, although I’ll have to order a few jars to balance out the shipping costs!
[email protected] says
those nut butters look wonderful!
Susan (Oliepants) says

Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Gah those nut butters sound AMAZING!! I’m guessing they are going to be quite successfull..
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
“Pretzel! Salted honey sunflower! Coconut chocolate chunk!”–
The FLAVORS just sound amazing! I need this in my life 🙂
Amanda @ The Beauty Notebooks says
Those nut butters sound AMAZING! Definitely checking out their web site.
btw, speaking of overnight oats: I was really excited to try it for the first time since I just nearly finished a jar of peanut butter. I realized last night, though, that my Mom accidentally bought me quick-cooking instead of the five-minute kind of Quaker oats. I tried it this morning, and the texture wasn’t so promising. (I also may have added a bit too much liquid.) Does the kind of oats you use make a big difference in the outcome of your overnight oats?
KathEats says
Did you use yogurt and chia seeds? They are key for a sticky texture.
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Interesting ingredients combos in the nut butters. Love the names and logo, super cute 🙂
Julie @ Lettuce Choose Healthy says
I love the names ! Did you get that spoon specially made for you?
KathEats says
Yup – via Etsy shop Wooden Hive
jen says
Wow!!! All of those flavors sound so good!!!! Love the packaging and logo too, cute!
Kelsey says
I love this peanut butter! It’s the only brand I eat now. I did a project on these girls and their company. You can buy it on their website http://www.flyingsquirrelpeanutbutter.com/
Anne @ Baking Me says
Yum, these sound great!
[email protected] says
Kefir in overnight oats is so the best! and how do you find sooooo many awesome items all the time? You must be a magnet haha 😛
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Ohhhh my goodness… that is the cutest name of a brand EVER! Loving the titles of their goods… I’d buy it just for the name!
Colleen says
I live in Oregon and totally just ordered the Spazzy Squirrel and Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed. I will be frantically checking the UPS order tracker to see when I’ll get it and brainstorming ideas to use them in the meantime 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Those flavours sound phenomenal! They sound almost worth risking my allergy for! 😛 I wish there was a company that made almond butter with creative flavours like those!
Donna says
OK I’ve just got to ask you a question. Where do you get all you nice fancy bowls and spoons. They are so unique and cute I must know.
KathEats says
I just collect them as I go through life. This one is from OpenSky
Donna says
I need to find some myself. They are so unique.
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
wow! My favorite part of those nut butters is that they are made my college students like me! I love when young people do incredible things!

Hi! I love your blog! Those PB’s sounded so good that I went ahead and ordered 3 different kinds! I am so excited for them to arrive so I can dig in and try them. Yum!!! Thanks for the review.
Paula says
Thanks for finding Flying Squirrel Peanut Butter. It looks wonderful. Will you be selling it on your site? Have you tried all 5? I really appreciate that you bring all these new and wonderful choices to our attention since I feel I would miss so many wonderful products.
Paula says
Do the Flying Squirrel jars list the nutrition on the label? I want to make sure I don’t buy something that contains items I am avoiding or allergic to.
KathEats says
I won’t be selling it, but you can buy it from their site.
They don’t have nutrition stats, but they have ingredient lists on their website
Julie H. (julieloveslife) says
I just ordered some…. had to buy a few to make the shipping worth while.Which was a bummer, but at least it’s not going to a huge company; two collage girls with a crazy idea. Can’t be money poorly spent.
I truly hope it is as good as it sounds and as you say. Crossing my fingers for some good nutbutter! My oats are waiting patiently 🙂
Kellie says
Hi Kath, I’m a new follower of yours. I am a new RD as well, and it is really fun for me to see how you experiment with all the awesome real foods out there. Congrats on the start up of a Great Harvest bakery! My family loves Great Harvest, and I can only imagine how awesome it’d be to run one.
I wanted to thank you for blogging about those fun peanut butters! I just ordered some today and am looking forward to trying them out. I imagine they’ll be just as awesome as you described!
Thanks!!
