When you just need a night-time sweet snack, but don't want the sugar and carbs...Disclaimer: this is not low fat, but low carb.
I've been trying different sugar alternatives (Stevia drops for my coffee, Swerve-Erythritol/Stevia for baked goods, etc.). This time it's a Monk Fruit/Erythritol blend. It turned out pretty good because it's not a strong, fake sweet flavor. Also, I keep my peanut butter in the fridge after initially stirring up so it doesn't separate, which is why I warm it up with the coconut oil. You can leave out the coconut flour for more moist cake, sub in cocoa powder. I was going for more thick.
Ingredients
1. 1 Tbs coconut oil or butter (melted)
2. 2 Tbs natural peanut butter (with no added sugar)
3. 1 egg
4. 1 Tbs coconut flour
5. 1 Tbs sweetener
Directions
1. Soften peanut butter and coconut oil in large round-bottom mug (i.e. soup mug) in microwave for 40 sec.
2. Add other ingredients, and mix well with small whisk.
3. Microwave on high for 1:30. Let sit to cool for a couple minutes.
You can throw in a few sugar free chocolate chips for extra yumminess.
Enjoy your guilt-free treat. :)
