Angelina PasqualiniIngredients
- 2 spoon Full Creamy Peanut butter
- 1/2 scoop Protein powder
- 1 tbsp Sugar free syrup
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate chips
- A splash Milk
Instructions
- 1I heat up the peanut butter to a smooth consistency. Usually stove top at a low temp and occasionally stirring , but if you do microwave it I would about 45 seconds and storing in between.
- 2Then I go ahead and add my sugar free syrup, this could be maple syrup or any type of sugar free flavoring. It depends all on how sweet you like it!
- 3Add a splash of milk, the mixture will thicken in the next step.
- 4Add in your protein powder, you can always add a whole scoop if you want more protein!
- 5Once combined, add in your favorite chocolate chips and enjoy! I personally love it the best when there still slightly warm.

Cakes and bread need structure that wheat flour gives. Cookies don't. A cookie can be peanut butter + egg + a low-carb sweetener and still come out chewy. That's why almost every successful low-carb dessert format starts with a cookie.
Almond flour is the workhorse — it browns, it crisps, and it adds protein. Pair it with erythritol or a banana for sweetness and you're at 3-5g net carbs per cookie.
On Pepper, the low-carb cookie recipes that perfectly dial in flavor and texture are the ones home cooks return to again and again.
Quick Tips
- 1
Three-ingredient PB cookies are the gateway
Peanut butter + egg + sweetener. 4g carbs each, ready in 12 minutes.
- 2
Almond flour browns differently
Pull at 10 minutes — the edges set fast and it goes from golden to burnt in 60 seconds.
- 3
Chill the dough
Almond flour doughs spread too thin without 20 minutes in the fridge first.
- 4
Skip the sugar substitutes that crystallize
Erythritol grains stay gritty unless you powder them in a blender first.
