~90 cal, Low Carb, High Protein Peanut Butter Cookie!
Yummm. This is great! Tastes close enough to the real thing but definitely fits into a carb/cal watchers diet
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder (I use Whey Gourmet Vanilla Ice Cream, it's 120 cals/.25 cup)
1 tbsp Fiber Powder
~1/2 tsp Peanut Butter (non negotiable...no PB2 here! You need the fat or your cookie will be super dry)
1-1.5 tsp Plain or Vanilla FF Greek Yogurt
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
Teeny pinch of salt
Combine the protein powder, fiber powder, baking powder and salt in a very small container. Add in the PB (it's easiest if you can warm this a bit) and Greek yogurt and stir until it's a dough-ish consistency (it may be a little more dry than you're used to).
Scoop it out of your container, flatten and stick on a PAMed microwave safe plate for 30 seconds (it will definitely "grow" during cooking). Take it out, wait a minute or so, and eat! So yummy!

Nobody likes peanut butter cookies?!
Bump0 -
I was thinking they sounded great! Just not sure they fit into my diet...0

Is the fiber powder necessary? It sounds really yummy, so I'm going to try it tomorrow without the fiber. Thanks!0
-
marie Hmmm I don't think the fiber powder is totally necessary, maybe add a little extra of the protein powder so it's not too liquidy Give it a shot! Let me know how it works0

Ok, I made it without the fiber powder. I used 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 2 T) and 1 t each PB and Greek yogurt. I started out with 1/2 t PB, but it needed more. I also added some chocolate chips to mine It came out pretty good, It was kinda dry and crumble-y, so I might try adding some applesauce next time.
Ugh, sorry the dang pic is so freakin' massive. It's not letting me resize it right now.0 -

Yum! Yeah I forgot to mention it's a little dry lol I guess that's what happens when you have very little fat. Adding applesauce would definitely be a good idea!0 -
This cookie was great and filling. I didn't use the fiber and added some stevia.0

Mmm cookies I will make these tomorrow, thanks!0
-
Sounds good!! Will be making this Thanks x0

Thank you! I just made these and they are great. A little dry but very filling. I used the oven as we don't have a microwave. I put them in for about 7-8 minutes on 350.0

Any pictures? (other than the 1 above)0

Try replacing the fiber with ground flax meal. It should help decrease the crumbliness.0
