If you’re a peanut butter lover AND watching your figure don’t walk, run to go make these! They are so tasty. And super filling. And, really, if you look at the recipe, there’s nothing “diet” about them. I mean they have butter and real sugar!
No skimping out on this one. And if you’re like me and eat a hearty breakfast every morning help yourself to a serving piled with bananas on top and non-fat vanilla yogurt on the side for an awesome and very tasty breakfast.
My son begs for these and I love that I can make a large batch and re-heat in the morning for him. He loves to help make them as well. Since it’s pretty straight forward I can usually pre-measure everything and let him take the lead.
Seriously… go make these now.
