A Sweet & Nutty Snack
Craving something sweet and nutty? This Peanut Butter and Jelly Quesadilla combines the creamy goodness of powdered peanut butter with the fruity sweetness of sugar-free jam. This snack is a healthier take on a classic, all wrapped up in a crispy, warm tortilla.
🍞 Ingredients:
- 2 low-carb tortillas (mini or regular size)
- 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter (adjust to taste)
- 1-2 tbsp water (to mix with peanut butter powder)
- 2 tbsp sugar-free jam (flavor of your choice – strawberry, grape, or raspberry)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Olive oil or cooking spray (for pan-frying)
🍴 Instructions:
- Prepare the peanut butter filling:
In a small bowl, mix the powdered peanut butter with water, stirring until smooth and spreadable. Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract if desired for extra flavor. - Assemble the quesadilla:
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over one side of a low-carb tortilla. On top of that, spread the sugar-free jam to create the jelly layer. Place the second tortilla on top, pressing gently to help it stick. - Cook the quesadilla:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil or cooking spray. Carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. - Slice and serve:
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute. Slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
