Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies
Having a cake craving? These low carb chocolate peanut butter whoopie pies are sure to cure that…..and guilt free. No artificial sweeteners.
I know- the words chocolate, peanut butter and whoopie pie are usually not in the same sentence as guilt free but these ones are, I promise!
The chocolate cake is moist and , if baked slightly longer can give a crunchy brownie like texture and flavor. My peanut butter cream filling is made with powdered peanut butter, PB2. This amazing creation has far less fat, calories and carbs than traditional peanut butter, with all of the flavor.
