Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies - No Mixer Required!

Peanut butter, chocolate - great when separate but when they combine they make the morning time anytime happen. Who sang that to the tune of the old Reese's puff cereal commercial? You are my people.

I digress. The point is peanut butter and chocolate are a classic combination and they make for a delicious cookie! These cookies also have the added gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and reduced sugar by using stevia/sugar baking blends. There's no mixer required! These cookies are almost too easy.


Ingredients:
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar/stevia baking blend
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar/stevia baking blend
  • 1 tsp vanilla 
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup VitaFiber IMO powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips
Directions:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the egg, sugar blends, vanilla  and peanut butter. Whisk to combine. 
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, VitaFiber powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. 
  3. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in chocolate chips. 
  4. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours. 
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, cooking spray or use a silicone baking mat (silicone baking mat is my preferred method for cookies).
  6. Roll the cookie dough into tall balls. Making the balls taller means thicker cookies! Place on prepared baking sheet. 
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown. 
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Enjoy! 
Makes about 10 cookies. 

I've heard that fiber also keeps your blood glucose from spiking. I have no way to measure this for myself but if you try these cookies and test your blood glucose - let me know the results!

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
