My feelings for peanut butter are not a secret. It all started with a peanut butter stuffed Kong toy that mom gave me on my birthday one year. Since then my love for the creamy, buttery, lip-smack-uttery (did I just make up a word?!) treat has blossomed.

How do you plan to celebrate this momentous month? If you’re a peanut butter lover like me you’ll want to try a few of my favorite recipes!

1. Peanut Butter Bacon Dog Treats
A treat with all my favorite ingredients! These are Christmas gift-worthy they’re so good. Wrap a little bow for Pinterest perfection and you’ll probably make a new best friend. These are made with 7 simple ingredients (peanut butter, eggs, milk, oats, baking powder, whole wheat flour and bacon). Check out the recipe here.

3. Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Pops
These cool treats are a favorite summer snack, but I also love them at all the other times of the year! You can’t get much easier, with only 4 ingredients (peanut butter, mashed bananas or baby banana food, honey and yogurt). Check out the recipe here. Scroll down the page for this recipe, but you might find a few other goodies on the page, too!

 

 

 

 

4. Peanut Butter Pumpkin Balls
No bake = no waiting! I don’t have to sit drooling by the oven because mom rolls these up in a jiffy and voila! These are extra tasty if they sit in the fridge and harden up a bit. I’ve seen mom sneak a few of these for herself (don’t tell her I saw, though)! Only 5 ingredients in these balls (peanut butter, pumpkin, oats, cinnamon and honey). Check out the recipe here.
