The recipe calls for THM Gentle Sweet instead of sugar. If you don't have that sweetener on hand, here is a low carb sweetener conversion chart to determine how much to use.Some Special Ingredients:Have you ever tried oat fiber? It’s different from oat flour.Oat flour is made by grinding/milling whole oats and is wonderful in THM-E recipes. It’s a slow-burning, healthy carb source.Oat fiber is made by grinding up the non-digestible oat hull. It’s essentially pure fiber. It has no nutritional value aside from the fact that it’s pure fiber. When you use oat fiber, the carbs aren’t included in the net carb count. Want all the flavor of peanut butter without all the fat? Then de-fatted peanut flour is your new BFF! You can add it to shakes and smoothies. Mix it with some sweetener, salt and almond milk to make a low fat peanut butter. Or use it in baked goods for great peanutty goodness!
