Sugar Free Peanut Butter Crunch

Peanut Butter Crunch,Trim Healthy Mama Friendly



     When I made the Trim Mint Cereal I had visions of so many varieties of cereal that I had a hard time waiting to make these.

     With the new peanut flour from Trim Healthy Mama, I was able to put this one together in about 10 minutes. Quick easy and so many uses.

  • A crunchy snack that travels in a container
  • With almond milk (who needs Captain Crunch!!)
  • mixed with some on plan Greek yogurt 
     Just to name a few. Mixed with a batch of plain Cocoa cereal (that's a future post) this would make another great Cereal/snack mix that packs in the protein without all the sugars and carbs from store bought varieties.

Here's the recipe

Sugar Free Peanut Butter Crunch

Printable Recipe

2 scoops whey protein powder, I used this one
1/2 cup Peanut flour, I used the THM Brand
1/3 cup Sweetener, This is what I use
1/4 cup melted Coconut Oil 
1/4 tsp Celtic Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Soda

Preheat oven to 300F.

Combine whey, peanut flour, sweetener, salt and baking soda, I used a wisk.

Drizzle coconut oil into dry ingredients while stirring with a fork, should be crumbly.

Dump out onto a baking sheet with sides, so the oil doesn't leak off into the oven.

Place in oven and bake for 12-15 min, making sure it doesn't burn.

Stir while hot, it will crisp up as it cools A LOT.

Store in an air tight container.

Makes 4 Servings

This is an S for Mama's following Trim Healthy Mama like me.

Peanut Butter Brownie Bars


So I bought a Quest Bar the other day, It reminded me of laffy taffy and not in a good way. I have made homemade protein snacks in the past and figured I'd try to make my own bars to make it easier to grab and go if needed.

      I'm very sorry the photo is not very good, I'm not sure how to photograph a protein bar and have it look appetizing, lol. I do think that next time I will roll this into balls and coat them with some unsweetened coconut flakes .

So here's the recipe I used....

 1/4 cup Oat Fiber or Psyllium Whole Husks or even Ground Flaxseed Meal (Omit for lower carbs, best with flax)
