this is what I get for eating Splenda
I just could not resist this recipe when I heard it - I have this bag of Splenda from when it first came out and I thought it was okay, and it was on major sale ...so anyway, couple that with a jar of natural peanut butter that was given to me for free, and voila, you have the makings of a crazy chemistry experiment that has made me sick.
I lady at church told me about this sugar free pb cookie recipe - 1 c Splenda, 1 c pb, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla. You mix it up and flatten with a fork and bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes. I added some salt too. It made 14 cookies. They actually taste pretty good, but when you consider you are eating straight pb and Splenda they are hardly low in calories. I ate 4 of them and now I feel gassy and puke-y. Just a warning - don't try this at home!!! I think I will take them and give them to that lady tomorrow (we both work at our church). |

While you're at it, throw in the bag of Splenda . I'm sure she'll be thrilled. |

Re: this is what I get for eating Splenda
I use natural sugar - I am always too afraid to change a recipe too much

Re: this is what I get for eating Splenda
yes, that's the only kind of sugar I usually use - the evaporated cane juice. That has more flavor to it anyway. I think molasses would make it too wet. Then I'd have to add flour. Then it would totally just be pb cookies.

Re: this is what I get for eating Splenda
turbinado would probably be REALLY good, though i think that's just sugar processed differently?
ohhh...you can replace the pb w/ soynut butter...ive been wanting to try changing the eggs out w/ egg replacer, but haven't done it yet |

Re: this is what I get for eating Splenda
Oh, soy nut would be good. I bet any nut butter would be good...you could use almond butter and use almond extract instead of (or with) vanilla...
And yes, turbinado sugar is just sugar that's been processed differently - it's basically a bigger crystal of white sugar and tossed with trace amounts of molasses. I think that's it anyway. |
