Tried it for the first time in a couple of different restaurants recently and decided to give it a shot. This is a big ass bowl imo and probably could / should be split into two servings but I’m going away for the weekend so I don’t want leftovers!

Without the naan:
432 calories
18g protein, 38 carbs, 22g fat

You could definitely reduce the oil and I will next time. I could probably happily use 2-5ml to sautée the pepper and onion. I was just following a recipe. The seasonings used were smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper. I used a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes. Don’t take my third attempt at eating this as a recommendation for a recipe pls find one on your own and do not blame me or accuse me of bastardizing a traditional recipe!!!

Alternative lower calorie sides: any bread you like, wasa crackers, pita. To increase the protein I would top with feta, add nutritional yeast, or even a bit of cottage cheese, or extra eggs.

I bastardized this recipe and made it peanut buttery and into muffins.

I used chunky peanut butter to add a bit of texture (I didn’t have nuts) and I used 1.5 tsp of baking soda since I didn’t have baking powder ? Ignore the picture that says it’s creamy pb. It is chunky. And yes, I know that baking soda doesn’t replace baking powder, not taking feedback at this time. I also added a pinch of salt not seen in the recipe.

They’re pretty good! Regular sized muffins, banana and hand for scale. I ate one with a laughing cow cheese wedge and another I smeared a bit of peanut butter on. Both good. Cream cheese would hit if I had it. Or butter, or just plain.

When I remake them, I will add in whole oats or nuts or something to give them a bit of texture, the chunky PB wasn’t enough. You can also 100% omit the peanut butter for calorie purposes or use PB powder for the flavor, I truly just wanted to use up the peanut butter and bananas in my house. I do fear the og recipe would be too dry and bready for my tastes in muffin form, so I may stick to the peanut butter lifestyle.

I used the Modern Mountain oat fiber. I feel like this is probably not actually 0 calorie, but whatever. Again not taking feedback at this time, unless it is scientific and informative about how soluble and insoluble fiber operate inside your stomach, in which case I will accept.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine dry ingredients. Add in wet ingredients. Mush around. Add to muffin tins. I baked for 22 minutes and when I saw them looking close to that picture of them in the oven, I checked them with a toothpick and the toothpick came out clean so I stopped baking then. Serve warm. Profit.
