First off I have to confess that I have a PROBLEM with peanut butter. I love it. I would (and have) chosen to forgo a meal just so I can eat a big ol' spoonful of it (especially if there is also a cup of coffee involved). I really try to not have it in the house -- especially if I am in lose mode, not just maintain mode. That said, SOMETIMES it is nice to have a little treat. These cookies are the BOMB!! - BUT they are a treat - not for everyday consumption. I wrote that for MY benefit :)

ReplyDeleteI too love peanut butter. I have a small amount on my flax seed muffin so all totally that comes to 7 carbs and fulfills my need for the peanut butter taste..
ReplyDeleteif ya ever want to try the flaxseed muffins just google search- flax seed muffin in a coffee mug:) easy peasy- done in 80 seconds and so yummy. while the recipe doesnt call for it I add cinnamon to mine.. I even have these on induction and still stated burning lavendar in 3 days and purple in 6. drink lots of water though cause flax needs to fluid to glide on through..
