If you thought the Protein Powered Peanut Butter Granola I posted last week would be too rich for your palate, this recipe might be just what you’re looking for. It is high in protein but does not have added sugar or honey. Unlike most of the recipes I’ve tried, this scrumptious granola forms crunchy-chewy clumps for …
This is an incredibly rich granola. It is not low in fat or calories, but it tastes amazing and—at 26 grams per serving—packs a powerful protein punch worthy of breakfast or a pick-me-up snack. It is a bit crumbly, tricky to eat out of hand but well suited for serving in a bowl (or teacup) …
I’ve seen several variations of peanut butter scones online and wanted to give them a try. Though they look really good, many call for more than half a cup of butter. Given the oil already included—courtesy of the peanut butter—I thought I’d try experimenting with “butter-free.” Admittedly, my recipe has a little more sugar, but …
Thank goodness for the Internet! These cookies were inspired by a recipe posted on Kristina Sacci’s the chocolate peanut putter gallery. In addition to added whole wheat flour (via a 50% swap), these contain less butter, sugar and chocolate. That’s perfect for me and my family, who devoured them, but some of you might want …

My version includes whole grains (oats), more protein (egg) and less sugar (by one tablespoon) than the original. It’s also easier on the wallet because I use brown sugar instead of maple syrup. This is another breakfast option enjoyed by my …
As mentioned in our Adventures with Sourdough Starter post, Matt (the “Savvy Husband”) is our new sourdough “pro” (not his term). He’s had fun experimenting with a variety of add-ins and techniques, and the rest of us have thoroughly enjoyed our jobs as taste testers. I have to admit, however, that the ingredients for this …
I have to admit that the first time I saw a variation of this recipe, I was intrigued and yet somewhat repulsed at the same time. I love to use peanut butter and pumpkin as ingredients for baked goods, but together? I’m glad to say that curiosity prevailed, and after trying it, I was hooked. …
Our son insists he doesn’t like peanut butter, but he really enjoys this bread. Sliced, toasted, and lightly buttered, it delivers a nice dose of fruit and protein for breakfast. For a tasty afternoon snack, substitute chocolate chips for the dried cranberries. Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bread Adapted from The Bread Machine Cookbook II by …
