Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Cookies

October 3, 2017 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Peanut Butter Oats Cookies

Till recently the idea of inclusion of Peanut butter in a diet plan designed for weight loss was a no-no but the recent studies have categorically established the fact that Peanut Butter can actually help you lose weight.

A cursory glance at the amount of calories contributed per serving of Peanut Butter- 180 calories has led to the wide spread belief that Peanut Butter is a diet buster and must be avoided but a deeper analysis further reveals that the enviable combination of fiber (2g) and protein (8g) leads you to feel more satisfying and you tend to eat less. Researchers’ state that a diet with monounsaturated fats like Peanut Butter can help people lose weight.

One interesting piece of comparison in this study, undertaken by Harvard, Boston Brigham and Women’s Hospital was between two groups who were put on weight loss diets. One was put on traditional low fat, high carbohydrate diet and the other group got the richer diet-Peanut butter diet. Here’s an excerpt from the study-“After 18 months, three times as many people on the higher unsaturated-fat diet had stuck with the program and kept the weight off. People in the low-fat diet regained an average of five pounds each.” (Read unsaturated-fat diet as Peanut butter diet)

This piece of knowledge had be intrigued and I started experimenting with including peanut butter as part of my diet plan. I must confess I am convinced with the findings and have made sure I include peanut butter in my daily diet. The experience of the feeling of satiety has been first hand. Until now the only option for including Peanut butter in my diet was the conventional form of putting it over my multi-grain toast but lately out of the need to break from the monotony I have begun experimenting with different recipes of Peanut butter. This recipe is an absolute favorite of mine and the feeling of moist, delicious, crumbly cookies loaded with flavors of peanut butter, goodness of oats and stuffed with dark chocolate that pairs up perfectly with a cup of warm coffee.

Follow the recipe and make Peanut butter-Oatmeal cookies and relish it over a cup of coffee.
