This is a great cheesecake for anyone. I made it for my sister who is allergic to dairy, but the whole family enjoyed it.
These muffins could not be healthy, and they taste great too. I added a little cinnamon and ginger also but that is entirely up to you. Choose your favorite nuts or berries in addition to these already TASTY muffins. Subsitute Stevia for Splenda( just remember to check on the substitute measurements before using)
These popsicles have practically no calories, taste very refreshing with just a little pick me up( if you use caffeinated tea!)
This is my favorite cookie recipe, and now it's even better! From Betty Crocker's Cookie Book, with sugar reduced slightly (1 c instead of 1 1/4), half unsweetened applesauce instead of butter, and half whole wheat flour. They still taste TERRIFIC, and are less than 100 calories each.
Buttery Cookies - made small so you can have a couple and not feel too badly!
1. To start, count out about ten dates and place them in a bowl. Soak the dates in water. If you think to do this an hour or more in advance, it's fine to use room temperature water. If you're pressed for time and only have a few minutes for soaking, use hot water. The idea is to soften the dates so that they are easily blended into a soft paste.
2. Measure out a cup of raw pecans and put them in a food processor.
3. Process pecans on low or using a pulse setting until they're nicely ground. You don't want to make pecan butter here - you're looking for nicely ground pecans.
4. Add a heaping teaspoon of quality cocoa powder. Blend or pulse for another few seconds to bring ground nuts and cocoa powder together.
5. Pit the dates and add them to the mix. It's best to add a little water to this recipe to create proper texture. A good way to add just enough, but not too much water is to lightly shake the dates as you get them out of their bowl of water, give them a gentle mush with your fingers, and add them slightly wet to the ground pecans.
6. Process on low or using the pulse setting until the dates and pecans come together. You want the texture to be such that you can pinch off teaspoon-size chunks and roll them up with your palms into bite-size balls. If need be, add another mushed up date or two, but always be conservative in adding extra dates, as once the mixture gets too moist, it's very difficult to fix by adding more nuts.
7. Roll the balls in dried coconut, cocoa powder, or any of your favorite raw nuts and dried fruits.
Coffee and Nutella combine with angelfood cake mix to make a low-calorie dessert without use of artificial sweetners.
This is a surprisingly low calorie muffin packed with potassium and protein and surprisingly low in carbs. I altered the original recipe, which called for buttermilk, regular brown sugar, and regular flour.
This is a great dessert for people who are following a low carb diet. It makes one cake for 2 people
