PB&J Rice Cake

March 18, 2023 Amanda Plott

Peanut butter and jelly at it’s snacking finest with this PB&J Rice Cake! I found these fun rice cakes recently that are shaped and textured a bit differently than the old school ones so I picked a few of the strawberry flavored ones up. But then it’s - what to do with them. Well, when I think strawberries, I tend to think of strawberry jam. And when I think of strawberry jam, I think of PB&Js!

This PB&J Rice Cake is a fun take on a PB&J that is lighter and pretty filling too. It would be great as an afternoon or after school snack, or even as a part of a light lunch! So, it starts out with a strawberry rice cake on the bottom which is covered with some peanut butter and then topped off with fresh strawberries, peanuts, and some strawberry jam too…

Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookie Cups

These Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookie Cups are my JAM. Hah. Get it? I’m feeling extra punny today apparently. So these cookie cups are similar to one I did back a few months ago, but instead of hazelnut spread I decided to go with PB&J! Because who doesn’t like a good peanut butter and jelly anything? Well, other than the poor folks who are allergic. Which if you are? This obviously isn’t the recipe for you.

Now. These cookie cups start off with a refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough. It’s proportioned and ready to go so it makes life super simple. Just pop the dough into the mini cupcake pans and bake away…

Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix

January 4, 2022 Amanda Plott

Back to school with the kiddo today after the two weeks off for the holidays. And going back to school always means a tighter schedule so it’s always nice to have snacks on hand. This Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix is one that the whole family can enjoy. There’s a little bit of sweet and a little bit of salty in there, along with varying textures of soft and crunchy; all things that I love about a good snack mix.

One of my favorite things about this Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix is that it stays good and is shelf stable for a good long time. It would happily sit on the shelf for a good week or two without changing at all, and maybe for even longer than that…

Skillet Monster Cookie

Look, I don’t know. I’ve just been on a cookie binge lately I guess. But, I wanted something a little more ever green today than my Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies from last week. Plus, I’m all out of those cookies anyway so it was time to make some fresh. One of my all time favorite cookies? Monster cookies!

They’re full of everything I like. Sweet. Salty. Crunchy. You get all the bases covered in one bite. And this Skillet Monster Cookie takes it a step further by being mixed all in one bowl and then baked in a skillet. No need for chilling. No need for rolling. Just mix. Bake. Enjoy…

PB&J Cinnamon Rolls

Sometimes you just have to put two of your favorite things together. Peas and carrots. Cinnamon and sugar. Peanut butter and jelly. PB&J with cinnamon rolls. These PB&J Cinnamon Rolls put PB&J into cinnamon rolls! That’s right. Peanut butter. Jelly. And cinnamon roll goodness. And after this past week? I could use some of my favorites in my life.

These PB&J Cinnamon Rolls are delicious. A little savory with the peanut butter and a little sweet with the strawberry preserves as filling. Of course, you can always use whatever your favorite flavor of jam, jelly, or preserves happens to be. Mine is obviously strawberry…

Baked PB&J Oatmeal

February 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who knew you could enjoy a PB&J for breakfast? Oh, wait. I did! This Baked PB&J Oatmeal is loosely based on a few of my other baked breakfast oatmeals but in PB&J form. Yep! There’s peanuts, peanut butter, and even jelly baked right into this oatmeal. Plus, I made it dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian.

This Baked PB&J Oatmeal can be made in advance and reheats really well, meaning that it’s perfect for meal prepping and having on hand through the whole week. And, if you aren’t a fan or are allergic to nuts, you can always swap out the peanut butter for any nut free alternative. That’s right, even those with sensitivities can enjoy this with the right alterations…
