Recipe: Hunger Busting Peanut Butter Cookies
These nutty oatmeal cookies are chewy and moist! Each cookie has a good balance of protein and fiber, which will ensure that you not only satisfy your sweet-tooth, but also keep it satisfied without the need to overeat! Peanuts and peanut butter are a great source of monounsaturated fat and other nutrients shown to promote heart health. Natural peanut butter is best because it does not contain the added sugar, corn syrup, or oil that regular peanut butter can contain.
