Peanut butter is a great low-carb ingredient.
It contains about 7g net carbs per 100g, but you would typically only use 1-2 tbsp in a dessert recipe, so in total it would only contribute about 1-2g to your carbs count.
This obviously applies to unsweetened peanut butter – check the label to ensure they haven’t sneaked in any sugar or other nasties. Keep reading “Low-carb peanut butter cookies”

Do you think chocolate is the enemy of your low-carb diet? Do you crave it desperately anyway?
You don’t have to suffer. You can enjoy chocolate and stay low-carb.
On just one condition.
Chocolate itself is not high in carbs. It just gets laden with lots of sugar for mass-market products.
If you can avoid the sugar, you can have the chocolate.
How?
By getting sugar-free chocolate, sweetened with Stevia, erythritol, or another low-carb sweetener. Or making your own from scratch – it’s actually fun for chocolate lovers!
