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…

PBJ Brownies

I don’t know why, but I always go into peanut butter and jelly mode as the summer winds down and back-to-school starts to nip at our heels. What can I say? But, I’m sorry and you’re welcome. These PBJ Brownies are every bit as good as they look. They are the gooiest, most decadent, delicious brownies that I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating.

One of my favorite things about these brownies (other than how good they are) is that they are made all in one bowl. Which means they’re fairly easy to make and don’t require a lot of effort for being as amazing as they are…

PBJ Banana Bread

Move over plain jane banana bread! There’s a new banana bread in town, and it goes by PBJ. That’s right, this banana bread is made with creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and a swirl of strawberry jam. It’s like banana bread and a PBJ had a baby! Who says you can’t have a PBJ for breakfast?

For being loaded up with all the PBJ favorites, this banana bread is made better-for-you in the best of ways! All of the sugar has been subbed out for natural sweetener, and half of the oil was swapped for an unsweetened apple sauce. Don’t worry though! Even with those minor adjustments, this bread turns out a-mazing!…

Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread

May 6, 2020 Amanda Plott

Everyone is all into banana bread right now. And I’m over here like… normal banana bread can be boring. Let’s jazz it up a bit with something extra special. Peanut butter and chocolate. Hell. Yes. This Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread is about ad decadent seeming as banana bread can come. The batter is made with a touch of peanut butter and then mini peanut butter cups are mixed in for added amazingness.

The batter itself is lightened up by way of plenty of mashed banana and some greek yogurt too. There’s also no actual sugar used in this bread. It’s made with natural sweeteners and blends. The end result is a light, fluffy, rich and delicious breakfast bite that is sure to impress…

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cups

May 13, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who knew that making your own homemade peanut butter cups could be so easy?!

Well, I did! I’ve made a few different versions in the past, but none of them were the classic peanut butter and chocolate. Being as I’m still sticking with that whole ‘keep it simple stupid’ mantra right now, I thought it was high time to make my own traditional peanut butter cups.

So what makes these special? Well, they’re made with just 3 ingredients. Yep! JUST three ingredients. All of which I have on hand at all times in my pantry, and you probably do too…

Skinny Monster Cookies

January 19, 2019 Amanda Plott

It’s atrociously windy and cold Cold COLD outside here this weekend. Though, I think with the massive winter storm over the states, most of the country is in the same situation! Cold weather always means it’s time to do some baking. After a trip to a new local bakery this past weekend, I’ve had cookies on my mind. Those chocolate chip cookies there were some of the BEST cookies I’ve ever eaten. Seriously. The BEST.

That is… until I decided to try my hand at making these lightened up Monster Cookies. So what is a ‘monster cookie’ anyway. Welp. It’s basically a monster of a cookie that has a little bit of everything in it. Usually they are peanut butter based and loaded with oats, chocolate chips, and candy-coated chocolates…
