For a healthy snack or breakfast, our energy balls and smoothies provide a protein-packed boost. The highlight? Our PB&J Cream Cheese Brownies, blending two classic flavors into one decadent treat. Best of all, our recipes are low FODMAP and gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy them. Stock up on peanut butter and explore a world of delicious possibilities!

Chunky Rice Krispie Treats

These are an ode to the Chunky candy bar, that combines chocolate, peanuts and raisins. Here we have combined these ingredients, in low FODMAP portions, with Rice Krispies, peanut butter, maple syrup and coconut oil and made a decadent snack! Sort of fancy, kind of homestyle at the same time, and easy to make! (The original candy bar features milk chocolate; I chose to use dark, but you can use milk). Click here for the Chunky Rice Krispie Treats recipe.

PB&J Cream Cheese Brownies

We took our classic Cream Cheese Brownie recipe and added peanut butter to the cheesecake batter and swirled in strawberry jam. Rich, easier to make than they look, freeze well, and always a crowd pleaser. Click here for the PB&J Cream Cheese Brownies recipe.

Gado Gado

The term “gado-gado” translates as “mix mix” and this refers to the fact that the dish is made up of a mixture of items, which can vary chef to chef, and household to household. Our version includes tempeh. Gado-Gado is always very vegetable-centric, featuring both raw and steamed vegetables, and peanut sauce in always offered. Crisp shrimp crackers are a traditional accompaniment. On a hot day, this makes a great meal, and it should be served room temperature, but not cold. Click here for the Gado-Gado recipe.

Mocha Espresso Power Balls

These begin with the classic energy ball ingredients of oats and peanut butter and liquid sweetener, but then we have added instant espresso powder, rich dark Dutch-processed cocoa and the “secret” ingredient – chocolate covered espresso beans! Energy, indeed. Click here for our Mocha Espresso Power Balls recipe.

Frozen Peanut Butter Cheesecake with Hot Fudge Sauce

This luscious cake is gluten-free and low FODMAP. Rich, creamy, lactose-free PB cheesecake nestled on a chocolate cookie crust and served with a warm chocolate-honey sauce. Decadent! A great make-ahead party dish as it can wait for you in the freezer until needed. Click here for Frozen Peanut Butter Cheesecake with Hot Fudge Sauce recipe.

One-Bowl Peanut Butter Cookies

These gluten-free, low FODMAP One-Bowl Peanut Butter Cookies call for 3-ingredients and I once made them on live TV in 17 seconds. Peanut butter (1), sugar (2) and an egg (3) and you’ve got cookies! Click here for the One-Bowl Peanut Butter Cookies recipe.

Peanut Lime Sauce

This tangy, creamy sauce is easy to make, and it lasts, too. Make a double batch and keep some in the fridge for use later in the week, when you are hangry and NEED to eat NOW! Grab a rotisserie chicken, some pre-shredded cabbage and toss together a simple main-dish salad that is a perfect support system for this sauce. Click here for the Peanut Lime Sauce recipe.

Garlicky Peanut Sauce

Is it a sauce or a dip? Well, it’s a sauce, and a dip and a general all-around zesty condiment that we find more and more uses for all the time. We like it with zoodles, tossed with gluten-free pasta, used as a dip for veggies, drizzled over grilled chicken or fish…we are sure you will find many other uses as well. Make a double batch and keep it in the fridge all week long. Click here for the Garlicky Peanut Sauce recipe.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Many recipes for chocolate peanut butter pies are based upon cream cheese; this one differs as the filling is more of a peanut butter pudding. If you are a custard/pudding/creamy texture fan, you are going to love this pie. The crust is a crisp, dark chocolate cookie crust – all low FODMAP, gluten-free and lactose-free. Click here for the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie recipe.

Combined with mung bean sprouts, carrots, and protein-packed tofu this salad that is hearty enough for a main dish. Packs well for lunch, too.

These cookies are adorable, but they do take some finessing. Making the heart shapes takes some attention to detail; you can also make simple round indentations, which is quite easy. The cookies will need to chill on the pan so make sure you have room in your fridge. Click here for the Peanut Butter & Jam Hearts recipe.

Summer Rolls with Peanut Butter Hoisin Sauce

One-Bowl Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies with Raisins

This recipe is top of our list because it not only satisfies the chocolate chunk cookie lover, but it is also made in one-bowl, and covers peanut butter cookie lovers and oatmeal cookie lovers, as well. We like the chew that the raisins add, but they are optional. Click here for the One-Bowl Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies with Raisins recipe.
