There are, however, a few things you need to know before you continue with the above recipe. 

Peanuts are high in omega 6 and excess amounts may cause inflammation. 

My suggestion would be 2 things:

1. Include pilchards in your meals on the day you have the peanut butter bread.

2. Don't have it daily due to the omega 6 content.

These are the approximate nutritional values, per bread:

Cappucino Flapjacks - fortheloveofbanting.com

These were SO easy.

I got to try out a new premix by Banting Blvd. but because our oven is currently not working and the landlord hasn't fixed it yet, I found some new ways to use it!

Ingredients:

1 pack cappuccino mix

4 eggs

4 tbs xylitol or other sweetener

2 tsp vanilla

1.5 cups milk

Butter for frying

Method:

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

Melt butter in a pan and allow to melt completely - make sure pan is on medium to high - not completely high. 

Drop tablespoons full into pan and allow to cook until some bubbles form.

Turn and cook for a few mins on the other side. 

Recipe makes about 24/25 flapjacks. 

Serve with butter and xylitol syrup or cream or berries.
