PBJ Banana Bread

June 27, 2020 Amanda Plott

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…

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

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…

5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola

I’m telling y’all. I’m still working on my breakfast game. Sometimes a girl just wants something savory. And sometimes… it’s the sweets being craved. Today I was craving a little bit of both. Something sweet. Something salty. And definitely something crunchy! That’s where this easy-peasy 5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Granola comes in!

With just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes or hands on time, you too can have this delish granola in your life. And why not? Granola can be expensive and full of things you don’t like, don’t want, and/or don’t care about. Not this granola.

Talk about a twist on classics, y'all! Today I've combined two of my most favorite things together; spicy thai peanut dressing and burgers! I know it sounds crazy, but just hear me out. These burgers are wholesome, full of flavor, and so juicy. They are perfect for summer cookouts, being light enough not to weigh you down with any richness.

This is definitely a more refreshing burger with the cool crisp slaw, and yet is still filling enough to satisfy even the most empty of tummies. The secret? It's in the sauce! The peanut sauce that is. The Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce on this burger is what seals the deal for me. I like a good messy burger, especially when I'm entertaining!...
