It’s national Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. A perfect day honoring one of life’s most perfect flavor combinations.
Here are a few PB&J recipes and ideas:
Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins
Peanut Butter & Jelly Blondies – PB&J never gets old, especially swirled in dense, moist, rich blondies. Easy one-bowl/5-minute batter
Peanut Butter and Jelly Coconut Cashew Sandwich Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan, GF)
Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan, GF)
Caramel Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars (GF with Vegan adaptation)
Microwave Banana Oat Cakes with Peanut Butter (Vegan, GF) and top them with jelly
No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Bars (Vegan, GF) – Add 1/4 cup jelly into the mixture and reduce the amount of banana by half
Make PB&J sandwich cookies using Puffy Vanilla and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Or use Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies (GF with Vegan option) for sandwich cookies
Ritz Cracker Stuffed Peanut Butter Cups (No Bake, Vegan) – Add a layer of jelly to the Ritz cracker before adding the peanut butter
Caramel Apple Bars – The combination of peanut butter, caramel, and apples is fabulous. Add 1/3 cup apple jelly to the batter to increase the apple flavor intensity.
I have a huge arsenal of peanut butter recipes here many of which could benefit from a little jelly added to the batter, dough, smeared on top, or just have a bowl of jelly alongside for dippage.
Jelly, like frosting, makes most everything better.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan, GF), with chocolate, and strawberry jelly could work really well. Strawberries and chocolate are a classic combination. So why not strawberry jelly and chocolate.
I was featured today on DailyBuzz Healthy Living in their Top 9 Stories of the Day, National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day
They featured this recipe and this jelly recipe. I guess they knew how much I really love my PB&J. Thanks for the double-feature, DailyBuzz.
Do you like the PB&J combo? When or what was the last PB&J item you ate?
Earlier today I saw Maria’s cake and Lisa’s cups and want them both.
The last PB&J combo I ate was a half hour ago when I was taking pictures of the PB&J containers. My spoon snuck in there a few times.
Which combo wins: PB&J or PB&Chocolate?
This is like picking a favorite child. I just can’t do it.
It really depends on my mood. Chocolate may tend to win that race, but the sweetness of strawberry or grape jelly against the saltiness of peanut butter is one of my favorite things ever.
But so is chocolate and peanut butter. Hard call.
i absolutely LOVE the PB&J combo, and i’m so glad you love it just as much. :) i have to agree with you that choosing between PB&J and PB&Chocolate is like choosing a favorite child. just depends on my mood. i love them both SO much! :)
I had no idea it was national PB&J Day!! Awesome. Great round-up of recipes!
ps: congrats on the double feature!! i’m feautred on wordpress’ freshly pressed homepage today :)
I saw your Peeps and before I even read her name, I thought of Christi. Cute goodies!
Averie, LOVING this line up! i love pb&j so so so much. don’t make me choose between pb&j and pb&chocolate! i think………… i may…….. have to go with…….. pb&j?!? ahh! i can’t believe i admitted that. both are so close to my heart ;)
I can’t choose either! Both are so deliciously fantastic. Now I’m craving some ….
same here-i don’t think I could pick, although I’m leaning towards chocolate. But few things compare to a good pb & j sandwich!
I think peanut butter should be a daily requirement .
pb and C for me! haven’t had jelly in so long, but I really want to make my own raspberry jelly soon in fact.
I plan to make some when berries are more in season..then again, I could just use frozen berries and do it now!
It’s pb&j day??!! How did I not know this??!
I could never pick!
PB&J or PB&Chocolate.. who says we have to pick? PB&J&Chocolate is a monster combo.. especially in smoothies.
Love peanut butter and I like jelly to an extent but I was that weird child that never liked the 2 paired together. But it stemmed from an incident where I had this jelly-like stuff that was supposed to remove rust off my bike. After I used that I had a strong aversion to jelly for a while.
I did not know it was “National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day”…so glad I packed that in the kids lunch today!!
I think that this is my first visit to your blog, I welcome you to come by my blog https://jessicaslilcorner.blogspot.com and say hello and become a follower if you’d like, if you aren’t one already.
Yum! PB cookies! I like PB best with banana! I totally want Maria’s creation though
I knew you would have an awesome roundup for a food holiday like today. What a great one it is too. One of my favorite combos!
