Defatted peanut flour, such as PB2, is much lower in fat and calories than peanut butter, and can be used in a variety of recipes. Here, we have a recipe for muffins that have no added fat, are made with honey as the sweetener, and whole wheat flour. These vegan muffins are only about 146 calories each, and perfect for a quick breakfast or lunchbox treat.
