Yep Janene they are fine for PO days. And OMG I made some vanilla & strawberry cheesecake muffins last night (adapted from the vanilla & apricot muffin recipe) and they turned out so good! I cut one in half and served it with a dollop of thick cream on each side, so yummy! *drools* I actually ended up making the mixture way too runny by accident, but the upside of this was that the muffins turned out really moist. I will post up the recipe shortly.
Cookies weren't that great. FAR better than the BT peanut butter cookies but I still wouldn't make them again. They were definitely edible and kinda nice but I prefer other sweet stuff I've made. I think protein powder really needs to be avoided altogether to make good cookies (there was only 1/2 a cup in this recipe but still).
I am trying some pecan butter cookies this weekend, they will be pretty high in fat but it will be mostly good fat from the pecans so I'm not too concerned. I've actually been doing some research and it turns out that when you are on a low-carb diet you should be getting a lot more fat in to make up the calories you would normally get from the carbs (if you don't your daily calorie intake could be dangerously low and end up putting your body into starvation mode). So I am going to try adding a bit more fat into my diet and see how I go.
