Jump to RecipeIt sure seems like you can make just about any delicious, healthy recipe with peanut butter. A few of my absolute favorites are no bake peanut butter cookies and peanut butter chocolate protein bites (yum)! Peanut butter is so versatile and is a great source of healthy fat and protein, keeping us full longer. These cookies are super easy to make and you probably already have all of the ingredients on hand.
