Low Calorie Peanut Butter Syrup (using PBFit)
Peanut Butter Syrup
This peanut butter syrup is made with only 3 ingredients (one being water!) and makes the perfect topping for protein pancakes, banana cream cottage cheese waffles, protein french toast and even ice cream with chocolate chips on top.
Drizzle on top of a fantastic warm dessert, breakfast baked oats, or peanut butter chocolate muffins. You can also add this syrup to my pistachio peanut butter chocolate covered dates, in place of the real peanut butter.
Using PBFit powdered peanut butter is one of my favorite ways to get a lower-calorie version of a classic peanut butter sauce with half the calories and fat. Adding homemade syrup with added protein to your morning breakfast is a healthy alternative and a great way to sneak in those extra grams of protein. You can use maple syrup in place of honey and make peanut butter maple syrup instead.
