Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Cake

Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Cake made with rice cakes, creamy peanut butter, and melted cacao wafers. A healthy peanut butter cup snack!

If you’ve been around here a while, you also know that I’ve been dressing up rice cakes for years.

While some people see dry, boring, bland cakes, I see a neutral and nutritious vehicle for *all* of my favorite toppings.

I mean, the possibilities are endless, friends.

Which is probably why I was immediately taken with the viral TikTok Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Rice Cake.

(Well, that and the fact that my favorite dessert pairing in the history of dessert pairings is chocolate + peanut butter.)

Rice Cakes are also an amazing vegan and gluten-free substitution for toast, crackers, or anything wheat based.

It took me a while to finally try the recipe trending on social media, but now that I finally have, I *need* to share it with you.

This is my version of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Cake.

They’re easy to make for a solo snack or dessert with your favorite rice cakes, creamy peanut butter, and melted cacao wafers.

Basically, it’s a healthier one serving peanut butter cup, and I think we could all use one of those as Halloween creeps up!

Grab some rice cakes, your favorite jar of nut butter, and Semisweet Cacao Wafers and let’s make this sweet treat.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats made with pumpkin purée, natural peanut butter, and oat flour. An easy homemade fall treat for your pup!

When people ask what the most popular recipe on my website is, I give it to them straight.

I know they’re expecting me to say something with sweet potato, tahini, or maybe a veganized dessert.

“It’s actually a dog treat,” I say with a smirk, watching their confused faces.

Yes, my 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats has wildly surpassed all traffic for any “human specific” content.

And while these dog treats are also human-friendly, I think your pup might enjoy them a little more than you would.

I was so excited to introduce Flora to my most popular recipe; she definitely gave it a two paws up.

Because Flora, you, and your dogs loved these treats so much, I thought it was time to make a new variation.

While puppy training, we’re going through treats faster than the Amazon delivery truck can drop them off.

It’s hard to beat homemade treats for the simplest ingredients and the best price.

After reading that pumpkin is good for pups, I decided that these Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats would be perfect for fall.

Like my first treats, they’re easy to make with just three ingredients.

This is the perfect Halloween treat to share with your four legged friend!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies made with natural peanut butter, dark chocolate chips, and hearty oats for the best texture and taste.

I was guilty of blasting Christmas music before Thanksgiving this year.

Because we leave for Germany in mid-December, everything holiday-related that I want to do here in the states has been a bit premature.

I resisted the urge to get a Christmas tree and instead have our gifts arranged under our giant monstera, now fondly referred to as the “Christmas monstera”.

What I really wanted to do was actually hang ornaments on the plant, but I care too much about her to risk damaging her structure for the novelty.

Anyway, so you get the idea, it’s been a truncated end to the year here at F&V HQ.

Being a recipe creator, I’m pretty used to being out of sync with the seasons.

As the goal is always to be ahead on content, that means creating holiday cookies before holiday cookie season.

Speaking of cookies, I have things to say about these circular baked goods.

I’m hereby proclaiming myself the cookie queen because I have the *best* new cookie recipe to share with you.

Save this one and share it with your friends, partners, parents, kids, and Santa himself.

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are made with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and oatmeal for best texture and taste!

We’ve allllll been there.

It’s been a long day that just keeps going and you’re completely out of snack options.

Or maybe you’ve got all your snack options around but you’re just really freaking tired of them.

In times like this, keeping it simple is important.

These Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates were born from one of these exact circumstances.

It was a Sunday and I hadn’t been to the grocery store so the fridge was bare bones and my need for a snack was dire.

In a moment of inspiration, I grabbed a Medjool date, pitted it, then spooned in peanut butter and finished it with dark chocolate chips.

The moment I sunk my teeth in I new it wouldn’t be the first time I had this pairing.

Peanut butter stuffed dates are a quick and healthy snack made with gooey Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, and dark chocolate chips.

Peanut Butter & Banana Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding

Peanut butter & banana chocolate chip chia pudding that’s naturally sweetened with banana. Perfect to meal prep for breakfast or a snack!

Hi, friends!

This week I officially started my structured marathon training.

Sure, I’ve been running this year with the marathon in mind, but I haven’t been following a *plan*.

And if you know me, you know I *love* a good plan.

So this week after getting back from Germany I started the Nike Marathon training plan.

Initially, it looks scary, but broken down it’s really just 2 shorter runs per week and one longer endurance run.

I’m also excited to try out my new hydration pack and hydration tablets into my training!

Since I’ll be running more, I’m going to need more healthy snacks and meals.

Bananas are wonderful for post-running fuel, so I’ve been enjoying them in fun ways after jogging into my kitchen.

This Peanut Butter & Banana Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding is the latest in my banana bonanza.

This delicious chia pudding is perfect to meal prep for warmer weather!

Banana Peanut Butter Bites

By Flora & Vino 16 Comments

Banana Peanut Butter Bites made with banana, peanut butter, hemp hearts, and dark chocolate chips. Enjoy them raw or freeze for a sweet chilled snack!

If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I didn’t eat raw bananas for…a while.

Whether it was a real intolerance or not, I’m not sure, but for a while I didn’t feel great post-nana.

So I wrote them off my grocery list and only used them baked into banana bread.

Until recently, I started craving them.

My body really wanted bananas, so I decided to listen.

I split open a banana, slices it into rounds, and dipped it into peanut butter.

It tasted *so* good, friends.

As I stood in the kitchen gobbling up banana bites, I kicked myself for all the banana possibilities I missed out on in the past few years.

Let’s make up for lost time and make these Banana Peanut Butter Bites on repeat, OK?

African Peanut Butter Stew

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Vegan peanut stew made with organic peanut butter, collard greens, and root vegetables in a tomato broth. Serve by itself or over grains!

When we had my friends over for dinner a few months back, they raved about a peanut stew they’d made together.

“It tasted *better* than takeout!” they both agreed.

I’m all about reducing my takeout budget, and the thought of a peanut stew really sounded like something special.

So I set out testing my own peanut stew with root veggies, leafy greens, and plenty of peanut butter.

What I came up with is my variation on African Peanut Stew that tastes like a big winter win.

This African Peanut Butter Stew was an instant favorite of ours, so I’m really excited to share it with you.

It’s flavorful, thick, creamy, cozy, and so versatile!

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Pumpkin peanut butter protein oats for one! Mix up these easy oats for a pumpkin and protein-packed breakfast that’s perfect for busy fall mornings.

This past weekend I had a plant re-potting party here at F&V.

M and I squatted on the deck and transferred my spider plant, split leaf philodendron, and aloe vera to bigger pots.

Scooping dirt into ceramic pots and patting the earth around my plant babies was totally therapeutic.

The move was inspired by my split leaf philodendron, which has grown at an exponential pace since I bought it on a whim from Whole Foods last year.

Did you know that plants need to be moved to bigger pots about once a year for optimal health?

When I last repotted my philodendron it surprised me by exploding with happy green leaves and new vines.

I mean, it makes sense that they need a pot that properly fits their expanding root system.

Just like us, they need room to grow.

Give yourself some room to grow by making breakfast in advance this autumn.

These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Overnight Proats are perfect to prep ahead for a fun fall breakfast.

Sweet and satisfying breakfast quesadilla made on the stovetop with nut butter, homemade strawberry chia seed jam, granola, and coconut flakes.

What’s better than a peanut butter & jelly for breakfast?

A peanut butter & jelly in a quesadilla.

An adult-ish quesadilla served first thing in the AM.

I enjoyed these all last week and couldn’t wait to share them with you so I practically *begged* M to let me make him one.

When he finished the first one and asked for a second, my ego was doing a very hubris-saturated victory dance.

Friends, it’ *that* good, and that simple!

Yes, we share a love of sweet breakfast quesadillas and I can’t wait to share that love with you.

These Nut Butter & Jam Breakfast Quesadillas are made on the stovetop with nut butter, homemade strawberry chia seed jam, granola, and coconut flakes!

Let’s get quesadilla-ing!

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls made with a sweet refined-sugar-free peanut butter center. Make them for a healthier homemade M&MS!

This week I finished my first hard copy book of 2020 and I’m pretty proud of myself.

I’ve finished a few other books for my monthly bookclub, but those were all done via the Audible app.

One of my best friends, Laura, would tell you that my version of read-listening *doesn’t count*.

But come on, friends, it totally does!

Sometimes I read-listen while doing jumping jacks upstairs in the spare bedroom, other times it’s while sudsing up pots and pans in the sink with my green rubber gloves on, and sometimes it’s while I make funny faces and swipe up on my eyelashes with black mascara.

While it’s lovely to be able to multitask, I do agree with Laura that tangible books are special.

There’s nothing quite like holding a paperback between both hands with bedsheets tucked up to your chin.

It’s the little things like reading a book from cover to cover that feel normal and nice that I cling to right now.

The book that I just finished was Rachel Hollis’s “Didn’t See That Coming”, which I highly recommend.

I also highly recommend that you start thinking about what clean candy you’re going to make for this Halloween.

Because I have a copycat recipe for you that starts with M and ends in M.

These Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls are made with a sweet refined-sugar-free peanut butter center and a dark chocolate coating!
