12 Ways to Eat Peanut Butter and Jelly

Did Uncle Sam come calling this tax season and leave you with empty pockets? Turn to a good old pb and j to save a little cash over the next month. But don't just sandwich it—upgrade these classic flavors with our favorite Pinterest-found ideas.

• 

  Cupcakes

  So sweet, you'll forget about that check you had to write the IRS. Basic cupcakes get livened up with pb and a sweet jelly center. Definitely a worthy splurge.

• Scones

  How good do these look? They're perfect for a weekend morning, and you get two times the peanut butter flavor—in the body of the scone and in the pb glaze on top. Sign us up.

• Cookies Part 1: Thumbprints

  These vegan cookies feature healthy ingredients like almond butter (try our DIY recipe), rolled oats, raw almonds and your favorite jelly. The result? Sharable cookies that your officemates are gonna love.

• Cookies Part 2: Sandwiches

  Sure, regular sandwiches are great, but cookie sandwiches? Um, yes please. These nut butter cookies require just five ingredients, and then after cooling (if you can wait that long), just put your fave jam in between and eat up.

• Quesadillas

  This is a great way to use up the whole wheat tortillas you've got leftover from fajita night. Pop one in a skillet, spread with your favorite nut butter, fold, flip, serve. Put your favorite fresh berries on top and you've got a breakfast of champions.

• Green Smoothie

  You're already a smoothie queen—why not throw a tablespoon of peanut butter in there to change things up? You'll get a small serving of leafy greens to boot (and you won't even realize it!)

• Frozen Pops

  Um, why didn't we think of this? With only four ingredients, these treats are so simple that we predict you'll be eating them all summer.

• Oatmeal

  If you're already making oatmeal as a healthy morning start, try adding peanut butter, applesauce and jelly to make it a touch sweeter. This recipe has 12 grams of protein—fuel for that big meeting.

• Mousse

  Fancy! This recipe uses almond butter and frozen raspberries to whip up a delicious dairy-free dessert (try saying that three times fast). And the hidden ingredient? Avocado. Who knew?

• Fudge

  If you prefer your peanut butter and jelly sandwich sans-bread and served as dessert, then you're in luck with this one. This tasty fudge will keep in the freezer for a few weeks.

• Waffles

  Leftover waffles from Sunday brunch? Don't let them go to waste! Make them the bread for your lunchtime PB&J. See? That was easy.

• Hold the Jelly

  You already know that apples (a superfood!) are a great pairing with peanut butter. Take it a step further and make a peanut butter and apple sandwich—no jelly needed. Toasted whole wheat bread makes a great pb-apple transporter.
