I love to increase the nutrition of baked goods by adding whole grains. That's the secret to these pecan tarts.

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

Applesauce makes this cake healthier than your regular cake.

Great as a side dish or dessert!

Banana and oatmeal are a perfect pair in these not-too-sweet treats.

This apple crisp is sweet and simple to prepare, but uses very little added sugar.

Remember how delicious Mom's brownies were? You can duplicate the taste for a fraction of the fat if you substitute cocoa for bittersweet chocolate and use applesauce in place of some of the butter or oil.

Moist, delicious cake that your friends won't know is healthier for them than the regular version! My mother-in-law made this for my birthday, based on a regular recipe with Splenda substitutes and adding a box of sugar free pudding to keep moisture in the cake.

This is absolutely wonderful and low fat but doesn't taste like it. The lemon flavor is very rich and full and great for fresh blueberries just picked from the bushes. This recipe has been adapted from Kraft but changed to reflect low fat at 80 calories per serving rather then 160.

Usually if a dessert does not have chocolate in one way or another I am not attracted to it. These lemon bars are a lovely exception.

Submitted by BLUESUNSHINEFL

This is an old recipe that my mother used to make. It's really easy to make and very low-fat. You can use different flavors of pudding and graham crackers to change it up a bit! The graham crackers may get a bit soggy if you leave it in the fridge for a few days but I think that makes it taste even better!

Okay, they're not the no-bake cookies we're all used to, but when you have a sweet tooth that just won't go away, these are a helpful alternative.

Great to make with kids!

Can also be made without powdered sugar, if you're worried about the mess.

I like to keep mine in the fridge...

I got this from the Taste of Home website and man is it good. It is one of the lite desserts. Their ingredients yielded a little higher calories but not much. It makes 18 servings of 3/4 C each of a very rich holiday dessert layered with gingerbread cake, pumpkin/butterscotch pudding mix and reduced fat whipped topping. Yum!

I took a basic brownie recipe, substituted half of the butter with applesauce, took out an egg, decreased the sugar by 1/4, and added oatmeal. Three friends found them to be very moist, chocolatey and just sweet enough; 5 kids just wolfed them down. As for myself, a self-proclaimed chocoholic, they were very adequate as a chocolate-fix.

These are great cookies to make if you're in a hurry and just to eat as a low calorie snack. They're very soft and have a great flavor. I make these all the time for my friends and it seems like I can never make enough!
I've also made them with sugar- free chocolate pudding and vanilla pudding and they're still excellent. Also, if you're looking for a little extra flavor, add half chocolate chips and half butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips.
