Low Fat Sweet Recipes

This is great for breakfast or as a side to lunch/dinner!

Just another version of the common toast we all love with less fat.

This casserole is actually a Jewish dish called Tzimmes. I adapted this from a higher fat/sugar version a friend of mine makes. It is rather yummy and satisfying!

Latkes are often served with applesauce or sour cream, which would be tasty with this. These latkes are also yummy with cream cheese or blue cheese, and topped with pomegranate seeds. This recipe replaces the oil used for frying with non-stick cooking spray.

To make the latkes vegan, substitute the eggs with applesauce and don't include the white sugar (as applesauce is naturally sweet) or Ener-G® Egg Replacer. Use coconut or soy milk instead of cows’ milk.

This is the dressing that I starting making so I can cover a large salad without the calories. This is a sweet and sour vinaigrette.

Modified from " Low Fat Sweet and Sour Chicken with Brown Rice" to make it serve 2 & use products readily available. make it Beachie, amount of veggies increased & sugar free orange marmalade used. Used mostly frozen veggies as they are out of season & makes for quicker prep.

[Optional to serve over whole grain, brown rice. / separate recipe]

A low fat and reduced sodium Chinese feast!

This casserole is actually a Jewish dish called Tzimmes. I adapted this from a higher fat/sugar version a friend of mine makes. It is rather yummy and satisfying!

Great for rebounding from a trip where vegetables are not available!

This rice pudding dish tastes so decadent - how can it not be rotten for you?

This is the Joy of Cooking recipe with a low fat twist - is uses nonfat milk and canola oil instead of whole milk and butter. Helps reduce that caloric intake!

Baked sweet potatoes with a sweet and spiced, creamy inside and a crunchy, nutty crust on top. Eat one as a meal in and of itself or halve for a side order portion.

A classic jewish noodle kugel with the fat and sugar contents down to near zero.

This is a modification of an excellent Sweet Potato Muffin recipe shared by CAPATRIOT. This version is lower in fat and still sinfully delicious! Great for a breakfast on the go or as an after-dinner treat!

My take on the Ghirardelli Black & White Brownie Cupcakes

Very easy, tasty, and very low in calories.

Saw this recipe on the local news, from a local restaurant. It looked so yummy, and without all the butter and brown sugar that usually accompanies candied yam casseroles. It smells so good and tastes even better!!!

My kids (2 and 3) love "Mama's Marshmallow Casserole."

no oil!

Potato Pie

A hearty muffin that isn't too sweet and makes a great pre/post workout meal.

I love candied yams with all the sugar and marshmallows, but I wanted to create a recipe that would not be loaded with unhealthy carbs.
I played around, and used different ingredients and my family was happy with this recipe.
You can certainly experiment and add your own things-- like pineapple, honey instead of maple syrup.
I don't use Splenda, though, because I don't consider that ingredient to be "natural" and good for our body. It's up to you, though!

You would never know the butter is gone..

No Thanksgiving Table is complete without Sweet Potatoes.
