June 12 is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day and since I love peanut butter, this is a perfect holiday.
20 favorite recipes using peanut butter:
Balls & Bites
1. Pretzel Peanut Caramel Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles – salty and sweet, crunchy and smooth.
2. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites (No-Bake, Vegan, GF) – Cookie dough never gets old
3. Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan, GF) – another version of peanut butter cookie dough without oats
Breads & Bars
4. Peanut Butter Banana Bread (vegan, GF) – The peanut butter in this bread keeps it incredibly moist and you can make the batter in a food processor or high speed blender

I hope you enjoy the holiday and eat some peanut butter. I know I will be.
I just posted an adapted version of your Puppy Chow on my blog and would love if you’d come take a look: http://piesandplots.net/puppy-chow/ Thanks!
Awesome! Here’s my link to my favorite peanut butter recipe:

now that is some good looking banana bread!
My favourite PB recipe is just classic PB cookies that my mom used to make. I don’t use PB in very many recipes.
Holy peanut butter!
My mouth is watering just reading your post. There are so many amazing PB recipes to choose from, but one of my faves is your white choc PB puppy chow. Soo good!
Another favorite…these PB Chocolate bars that I still have hanging out in my freezer!

And who can resist chocolate peanut butter fudge?!
http://luvwhatyoudo.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/hitting-the-hills-and-eating-fudge/
Those bars! I make a version and the fudge, too! I have them linked up in my desserts page but yeah graham cracker bars and fudge..cannot go wrong!
i don’t comment much anymore on your blog, but I’m still reading it almost daily! Anyway, this post is such a great recap of recipes that you do well…well that and something with white chocolate in it!
thanks for saying hi and reading along!
Oh my gosh those alllllllll look amazing!
My mouth is watering looking at all this deliciousness! I looooove peanut butter! When I was a raw foodie I didn’t eat it but so glad that I’m eating it again :)
Fave recipe…. my peanut butter choco chip granola bars, and simply love banana slathered with peanut butter – or maybe a bit of banana with my peanut butter, lol.
So glad you’re back to eating PB. My life wouldn’t be the same without it!
Delicious & incredible compilation… thanks for sharing! Happy PB cookie day!

My new obsession is eating peanut butter cookie dough for breakfast, overnight oat style! ;) http://www.clairetherd.com/breakfast-food-friday-link-party/
Already commented on this post, but this seemed appropriate for another one! Most likely, you have totally seen this, but, it made me think of you and wanted to share, JUST IN CASE you hadn’t! :-) Looks like something you make, anyway!

Oh I saw them alright :)
It’s a cold rainy morning here, and now I totally want to spend all day in the kitchen making all these peanut butter treats. And instead I have to go to work! Boo. Anyway… special K bars! My friend’s mom used to make those all the time growing up, they’re so good!!
Girl I love them. My grandma’s recipe and I’ve seen similar recipes on Allrecipes and such but hers are just so easy, but so, so good!
I made home-made “Nutter Butters” last semester while I was at school that were gone within a couple of hours! http://chloeinthekitchen.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/nutter-butters/
So delicious :)
I just love looking at the doughnuts! Your pb doughnuts just look amazing. I have mini doughnut pans but need to get the bigger ones. It is tedious to bake so many little ones (cause that’s how many it takes to feed all the boys!)
Oooh…thumbprints! YUM!! :-)
Wow, recipe overload! Great collection here, thanks! I adore just about anything with peanut butter in it, but chunks mixed into banana soft serve is probably my fave.
I was *thisclose* to posting a recipe for pb cookies today, without actually knowing it was National PB Cookie day! And then I almost made some, but ended up outside in my garden for HOURS yanking weeds.
Tomorrow. Better late than never?
you’re psychic again, as usual!
I think I love you! :) I love all of these recipes and what a great day! Of course I had no idea!
Can’t believe I missed peanut butter cookie day! :(
Averie you always have the best desserts!!
Someone give this lady a cook book : )
(blushing)
thanks you :)
your puppy chow is the best! Love this day, a good way to celebrate! how’s sweet skylar? I miss that face!
you’ve made it? glad you like it!
She’s doing great; thanks for asking!
I just made your peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I bought the pb cup trail mix from trader joes and threw some of that in as well as I added some Jif Cappucino Chocolate Hazelnut Butter (so good, from Target). Delish! :)
You made them…yay! And you used some fun add-in’s…wow, I bet they’re amazing! thanks for making them and LMK!
Wow, everything looks delicious. Especially enticed by the PB donuts and chow!
the chow is super addictive in the best way :)
You have so many great PB recipes and I’d love to nibble my way down this entire post!!! My favorites are the PB cups, flourless PB cookies and pbj thumbprints. I also like a good old fashioned oatmeal cookie with PB chips or Reese’s pieces.
You’ve made so many…and thank you!!
Yay for peanut butter cookie day! I have 8 jars in my house right now (I wish I were kidding). I made these Oatmeal Peanut Butter Banana Cookies and few weeks ago and they are to. die. for.
http://shesontherun.com/2012/05/oatmeal-peanut-butter-banana-cookies-and-a-birthday/
Only 8? :)
There really is a national day for everything, isn’t there?? :-)
Averie! I couldn’t be MORE excited about Peanut Butter Cookie Day! I have a slew of favorite peanut butter recipes, but my current fave are my Skinny Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies! Perfect running fuel.
http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/06/10/skinny-peanut-butter-swirl-brownies/
I LOVE all of your recipes link ups too. Those pretzel peanut caramel PB cookie dough truffles are calling my name right now! :)
those brownies look to die-for! And thanks for linking me up :)
My first choice would be the peanut butter cups. Chocolate and peanut butter are the best together.
I think I just drooled on my keyboard.
Do i love peanut butter cookies? YES YES YES YES!!!!
My favorite Peanut butter cookies are these: http://www.spoonfulofsugarfree.com/2011/06/15/high-protein-cookies/
Your cookies look great! I wish we could swap a batch :)
I definitely have a soft spot for peanut butter. My favorite is a big-o–spoonful with chocolate chips on top!
AVERIE!! what a post!! i am such a PB fan — these recipes are absolutely amazing. gorgeous, delicious, and peanut-butter-rific! thanks for sharing! you’ve got me drooling:)
Mmmm…I’ll take some of each please!
MMMM that’s a food holiday I can totally get behind ;-) Good thing I just finished lunch and didn’t read this post hungry!
Averie, you are a Queen, the sweetest one! :) I don’t have any peanut butter recipes just because I don’t like peanuts and everything with it. But I think you may change my mind: your sweet creations are so beautifully delicious that I may try, and then for another Peanut Day I would have a favorite recipe, which would be one of your’s though… :) Have a good week!
Was just thinking about you…good to hear from you and hope you’re doing great :)
I just pulled a tray of peanut butter cookies from the oven… Off to pour some milk and get busy ;)
Yes, go! While they’re still warm :)
