Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies

By [e-mail]

I love biting into these yummy cookies. These peanut butter cookies have a slightly crumbly texture that melts in your mouth. The nutritional profile of these cookies is almost good enough to justify eating two or three for breakfast; just remember that sweets, even low carb ones, should be enjoyed in moderation. Each low carb peanut butter cookie has about 100 calories and just two grams of net carbs. You even get one gram of fiber and four grams of protein, thanks to the peanut butter.

Tips and Tricks to Make Your Baked Goods Healthier

Use a sweetener instead of sugar, and you have a healthy, nutritious dessert or afternoon snack. Make sure you choose a sweetener that can be measured cup-for-cup with sugar, otherwise you might come out with something too sweet or not sweet enough. For a fibrous whole grain boost, you can add a handful or two of oats and use slightly less sweetener. If you use natural peanut butter (only peanuts and salt), be aware that the cookies’ texture may turn out differently because there is not extra oil to bind them together.

Peanut butter cookies are a fantastic choice for low carb dieters because peanut butter contains a lot of protein and healthy fats to keep you full longer. These cookies are fast to whisk together and they bake quickly, so you can satisfy your craving within minutes. Are you convinced yet?
