Peanut butter recipes are my favorite kind to make. I think peanut butter was my first love and I’m celebrating that love by using peanut butter in recipes any chance I get.
Whether I’m mixing it into a batter to make a cake or cookie, adding a scoop into a smoothie, or just eating it straight with a spoon, peanut butter is kinda an everyday occurrence for me.
Today, I’m rounding up some of my absolute favorite peanut butter recipes that are must-makes any time of year.
This extensive list is bound to give you at least one new peanut butter recipe to try! There are tons of no bake treats, some gooey baked desserts, and even some drinks to sip on!

What Kind of Peanut Butter is Best?
Well, it depends on what you’re looking for and what the recipe calls for. Some recipes want a no-stir creamy peanut butter and if so, use that! I tend to use natural creamy peanut butter for a few reasons.
When peanut butter comes with oil and sweetener already in it, I can’t guarantee how that peanut butter will act in the recipe. I tend to go for peanut butters that are just ground up peanuts and nothing else. This way, you can add the amount of oil, sugar and salt you want to the recipe and have more control over the recipe as a whole.
Peanut Butter + Chia Jam Thumbprint Cookies
I’m not going to lie. I had this whole lineup of recipes I was planning on making. I have a white board on my desk and those recipes were staring at me. A list of perfectly penned recipes that I had on the agenda for the week. But…

5 Ingredient Healthier Peanut Butter Cups
Here’s the thing: I looooove Reese’s peanut butter cups.

Salted Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Peanut butter rice krispie treats… I know, I know. Basic right? You can get the recipe right off the back of the box. But… mine are a bit bougie. I fancy them up a bit. I slowly brown the butter. Mix in natural peanut butter and sprinkle them with mini marshmallows and flakey salt. Never

No Bake Peanut Butter Crunch Balls
Ok story time. When I was younger, there was this food store by us called Zagara’s. I always thought the name was pretty fun to say. They tasted like a Reese’s peanut butter cups in ball form with crunchy rice crispies spread throughout. Ugh, they were so good. At some point when I was in

Ever since I first saw chickpea blondies I was very skeptical. Chickpeas? Like Hummus chickpeas? But in a sweet delicious dessert? I couldn’t even imagine it! But then I tried one of those edible cookie doughs that they sell in stores and it had chickpeas in it and I was flabergasted. It was shockingly delicious.
Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
Fact: candy will be all over the place this weekend. It’s a slippery slope for me. One chocolate Reese’s egg leads to another until I lose count. Normally I would seize the holiday excuse to forgo meals so I could spend the whole day eating candy. This year, I’m trying to be better and I’m
