I’m still in Jacksonville soaking up family time but wanted to quickly pop in to share a recap of the top 10 most popular recipes on Peanut Butter Fingers in 2015.
Every year, I enjoy looking back to see what you guys seemed to love the most and this year breakfast recipes seemed to dominate and claim the majority of the top spots (and many of them were from prior years)! I hope you enjoy this look back and would love to know what kind of recipes you hope to see on the blog in 2016 in the comments section of this post.
Happy (almost) New Year!
Top Recipes of 2015
This was the most-viewed PBF recipe in 2015! I first shared the recipe back in September 2014, but it continually receives a lot views every month. It’s one of my favorites and a go-to breakfast for me that’s packed with protein and incredibly easy to make. All you need is three minutes in the morning!
This recipe came together when I was on a mission to create a protein pancake recipe that didn’t require protein powder or an immersion blender. I love this recipe and continue to make it frequently.
No bake recipes are the best! This recipe for no bake oatmeal nut butter balls makes a great grab-and-go snack on busy days and also satisfies my sweet tooth in a healthy way.
I almost didn’t share this recipe on the blog because it is so easy and the photography isn’t the best, so go figure that it ended up being one of my most popular recipes from last year! Thanks to my mom for coming up with this one!
My banana bread protein pancakes are a family favorite among my parents and sister! They taste like banana bread but are 10,000 times more filling thanks to a protein punch from cottage cheese (which I promise you cannot taste at all)!
I think 2015 was the year I rediscovered sweet potatoes. They are so darn delicious and satisfying! I love incorporating them into my morning meal because they add a little volume, nutrition and color to breakfast!
These cookies are so, so tasty! I shared the recipe when I reviewed Chocolate Covered Katie’s cookbook and have nothing but wonderful things to say about this flour-free recipe for chocolate chip cookies.
My peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough overnight oats continue to be one of my absolute favorite versions of overnight oats. The prep-ahead recipe makes breakfast a breeze and the flavor truly does remind me of peanut butter cookie dough!
If you’re new to the overnight oats phenomenon (or if you have yet to make a batch you truly love), check out this tutorial! It walks you through my go-to method for creating a tasty bowl of overnight oats.
If you’re gluten-free (or even if you aren’t!) and are on the lookout for a fantastically moist muffin, please give this recipe a try. It’s easy to customize, so if you do not like chocolate chips, you can omit them and toss in your favorite nuts, dried cranberries, etc.
Question of the Day
I would absolutely love to hear what kind of recipes you guys hope to find on this blog in the new year! Are you on the lookout for easy breakfast creations? Tasty desserts? Healthy one-pot dinners? Please let me know! I really enjoy sharing new recipes with you guys and will definitely use your feedback when it comes to planning future recipes to share on Peanut Butter Fingers in 2016.
Thanks so much for reading!

I love “top recipes of the year” posts, they’ve been giving me great ideas for new recipes all week! In general, I’m a fan of all of your recipe posts, but I think if I had to pick something I’d be particularly interested in for 2016 I would have to say dinner recipes (I’m a big fan of one-pot recipes!!) – I am always looking for new ideas for something to make for dinner! 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your time in Jacksonville, I hope you’re getting lots of relaxation and family time! And Happy New Year!
Your recipes are great! I’m always looking for dinner ideas!
Quick easy meals for people with kids are great! Also, would love to see your adventures in feeding Chase as I have a little one the same age 🙂
The overnight oats are a favorite of mine for a few years now! I just made them again this week for the first time in forever. So yummy!
I would love to see more easy breakfast recipes as more as more meals that you prep over the weekend.
Hope you have a wonderful New Years!
I love to see easy dinner recipes. I’m always looking for new ideas for dinner. My husband informed me yesterday that I make so much chicken for dinner that he never wants to eat chicken again. Oops!
I would love to hear more easy, healthy one pot dinners! Also any kind of casseroles that can be made in advance and just thrown into the oven the day of would be fun. I loved your post about meal prep and think those ideas are super helpful for everyone with a crazy schedule!
I would love some more healthy/easy/quick/simple breakfast ideas for busy mornings!
If anybody could check out my blog it would be super amazing:

I’d love to see more easy, healthy dinner recipes! Happy New Year!!
I would love more easy dinner ideas. I also loved your post about your weekly meal planning and would like more posts similar. Thanks!
I still have that peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough pinned and I need to try it! Thank you for that reminder, Julie! Hope you’re enjoying your time with your family. <3
I’m always looking for quick, easy and healthy supper ideas. I like recipes that don’t include a ton of ingredients or weird ones that I don’t have on hand and I feel like a lot of your recipes can relate to what I’m looking for.
Hmm…I think I’d love to see some more healthified desserts in the new year!
Thanks for sharing these favorites of 2015, cant wait to check them out!
I love your recipes! I am a working mom, and therefore I use my crockpot a lot. I would love to see more crockpot recipes, as well as super easy, fast, and healthy dinners! Happy New Year!
Hi Julie! I first discovered overnight oats from your blog so many years ago, and now it’s my go-to breakfast — so I can see why that post is still going strong! I love to see your super easy lunch and dinner ideas on PBF, so keep those coming. As far as soaking up family time, ENJOY! 🙂
Love to see some lunch ideas….I always have a hard time packing good lunches for work
Looks like I am in the same boat as others, and I would LOVE to see more healthy, easy dinners! Hopefully also affordable…? I know a lots of moms with little ones on the way in 2016, and I would love to be able to help them out and share healthy, simple dinners, or maybe even freezer dinner recipes.
Thanks for asking 🙂 Look forward to 2016!
YUM – all the food. Can we just talk about those flourless chocolate chip cookies? Christmas might be over but I believe chocolate chip cookies should be enjoyed monthly.
Hi Julie, happy holidays!
I would love to see more lunch and dinner ideas especially anything that is high protein and low carb (my preferred eating style). I love your salad creations too!
I’m all about one-pot dinners! Or dinner/savory meals in general. I think the blog world goes overboard with breakfast/sweets. I usually eat the same breakfast for weeks at a time and rarely eat sweets!
I’m a HUGE pbfingers recipe addict! You have (literally) changed my life with your recipes, as I’ve been making them for years (I mentioned it before, but I had to incorporate more protein into my diet, and your recipes were the first things I tried, to help with that fact.) So I have made tons of your recipes, and I love love love how easy AND tasty they are! So important, because the last thing I want to do after a long day is get all involved in a laborious recipe, nor do I want recipes to be “easy” BECAUSE they use lots of processed ingredients. You’re helping me do my favorite thing – which is to eat healthy, but NOT feel like I’m on a “diet”. Thank you for that! I am seriously so grateful. (Side note, I also still LOVE all the “fun” recipes that are not all about health, like the pineapple souffle, so know that I love ALL your recipes, regardless of calorie content.)
I’d love to see some easy, non-egg savory dinner dishes, and some easy veggie side dishes with some good flavor to make veggies more interesting. I love your egg dishes, and have made them a ton (recently I made one of your breakfast casserole bakes, with the eggs and torn up bread), but I’d also like to see other proteins (but what kind, I don’t know. Whatever it is you guys eat the most). I think the hardest meal for me to figure out, BY FAR, is DINNER, especially an easy, healthy dinner, so some dinner dishes would be great.
Thanks as always for your stellar blog and stellar recipes. You rock! 🙂
I’m doing whole30 right now and it looks like your Sweet potato recipe is whole 30 approved, look forward to trying it out!!
The blog recipes I tend to make most are dinners! I’m vegetarian so I would love to see more plant based meals!!
I would love to see some “Set it and forget it” crockpot meals that are picky husband approved! I am looking forward to trying the orange chocolate chip muffins soon!
I would love to see any kind of EASY recipe and also recipes that I can make for lunch and bring to work with me. I work in an office and eat out way too often bc I don’t like eating sandwiches and salads for lunch.
Yummy!! I am getting hungry now! I am definitely going to try a couple of these recipes soon!!! Enjoy the rest of your time in FL.
I would love some new ideas for quick and healthy sides. I am a pro at making salads and baked sweet potato wedges but I make both of these at least once a week and I need some fresh ideas to work into the rotation.
Happy New Year!! I would actually love to see some more snack ideas, like more pre and post workout snacks! I always feel like I am eating the same snacks before the gym or a run and it can get boring!
loving all of these recipes! I loved the overnight oats one because I personally somehow always mess them up! x, kenz http://sincerelykenz.com
So many great recipes!! Your egg white oatmeal continues to be one of my favorite go-to breakfasts. I would love to see more vegetarian dinner ideas in the new year. Thanks for all the awesome recipes!! Hope you have a great New Year! <3
Things are pretty silent in the blogging world, aren’t they. Glad it’s not just my site, ha!
Guess we are into egg whites over here, but I love your no bake recipes. They’re perfect for day-hikes or exploring the slopes out here in Denver!
Interesting fact that I noticed that the most popular recipes over on SST primarily include five ingredients or less. An interesting challenge, ha!
Hi Julie! I love all your recipe suggestions. I’ve recently gone low-carb. I would love to hear if you have any recipe ideas for a low-carb lifestyle. I know it’s not that popular anymore– it seemed to explode in the early 2000’s when Atkins was all the hype, but there are some of us just starting out 🙂 Happy New Year & thanks for being one of my favorite blogs!
Whoops, that last comment was from me– Kristina, with an A on the end, not Kristins.
Okay, YUM. I need to try that three minute egg white oatmeal. I have regular oatmeal every morning. Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
The nut butter balls and the peanut butter cookie dough oatmeal are getting saved on Pinterest!
Do you wake up hungry during the night nursing Chase? A post about how you time food and nursing would be great! Also, how you start Chase on solid food would be fun to see!
Dinner recipes would be great. I love your buffalo chicken meatloaf recipe!
I need to try the 3-minute egg white oatmeal! I am not going to have time to eat mid-morning on this next rotation (peds) so my breakfast is going to have to be EXTRA filling. This looks great!
Those banana bread pancakes… yum!!!
My parents are always asking me to cook dinner at home but I feel like I always cook the same things over and over, and I would really like to change it up with something new for the family. Maybe something vegetarian, we’re trying to eat vegetarian at least once a week.
I love all of these recipes and make a handful of them pretty often! I would like to see more lunches/ dinners maybe? I’m loving the recipes you already share with us, too!
I would love to see more vegetarian main dish recipes. I have dramatically reduced my meat consumption due to health, environment, and animal welfare concerns. I love the blog “no meat athlete” but would also love to see some here. Thanks and peace to you and yours!
I’ve never been much of a cook – I live in a tiny NYC studio apartment without a kitchen – but all of these recipes make me want to give cooking another try in 2016!
More baked casseroles and frittatas!
This has been my go to breakfast throughout my pregnancy! For some reason the baby doesn’t like oatmeal =(
