>Have you ever come across a product that completely changed your life? More specifically, a FOOD item that’s rocked your world? For me, stevia is up there. I was a Splenda addict until the lovely no-calorie all natural sweetness – that is stevia – came into my life. And I am still thankful ❤
Recently however, a new love has come into my life. And this one just may be my #1…
Behold…The incredible fabulous fantastic item that is PEANUT FLOUR! You may be asking, is this another healthy flour, perhaps the next Spelt flour? And my answer is, it’s better than that. Peanut flour is peanuts ground into flour with INCREDIBLE nutrition stats. Per 1/4 cup:
Yep, that’s 16g protein for 110 calories. And trust me, the TASTE is even better than the nutritional info.
I started using PB Flour (1-2 tbsp) in my chocolate protein smoothies. Yeeee-UM. Then I got an idea, “Bet I could create a delicio-so Chocolate Protein Cupcake”.
And behold: Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein muffins with PB + Banana Frosting:
Combine + mix:
– 6 Scoops Chocolate Protein powder
-1/4 cup PB Flour
– 3/4 cup FF Greek yogurt
~1 cup H20 (depending how thick your protein is)
– 1 egg (or 3 tbsp egg whites)
– 1 tsp Baking powder
– 1/2 tsp sea salt
Cook for 20 mins at 400F
“Frosting”: In food processor combine:
– 1/4 cup FF Greek yogurt
– 1/4 block FF cream cheese
– 1 banana
– 2 heaping tbsp PB Flour
– 1 tsp PB
– 3 servings (or packets) stevia
– 1/4 tbsp sea salt
These are no joke. Probably my greatest protein creation so far!
Enjoy Peanut Butter Lovers!
