Nobody likes to count calories. We say, if you want the cake, eat the cake! However, with summer in full swing, sometimes you might decide to watch what you eat just a little bit more than usual. All those trips to the beach mean plenty of time in your bathing suit. However, being a little more conscious of what you eat doesn’t mean you have to give up all the good stuff entirely. Have dessert and proudly rock that bikini, or one piece with those daring cut-outs, with these yummy recipes.
Mug cakes are a great dessert because they’re incredibly quick, and they’re a single serving. This one from Butter With a Side of Bread is also ridiculously low in calories. It bakes in your microwave in 30-35 seconds. Yes, dear friends, in less than a minute, you can have moist chocolaty goodness in a cup. You’ll have to wait longer for it cool to the point where you won’t burn your mouth when you eat it than it takes to actually make it. Do yourself a favor and make it.
When you think of cheesecake, you tend to think of a heavenly bomb of calories and fat. However, Sally’s Baking Addiction has made it much more figure-friendly with this yummy version. Sometimes low cal desserts taste like low cal desserts. This one does not. It uses reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt to help lighten things up. The result is every bit as tasty, and somehow even fluffier than full-fat versions. This one is a lighter dessert that you’ll likely keep in regular rotation.
At well under 100 calories per serving, these brownies by Drizzle Me Skinny almost defy all logic. They’re still thick, crammed with chocolate flavor, and they’re completely delish. Your taste buds will be dancing, and your brain will be screaming, “But, how?!”. The key is using apple sauce in place of most of the sugar and oil you’d find in other brownies. Somehow, it doesn’t mean you sacrifice taste for fewer calories.
Belle of the Kitchen will further prove to you that you can have your cake, and cut the calories too! This recipe uses fat-free Greek yogurt to take the place of the usual suspects that carry a ton of sugar and fat. Without the heavyweight of oil, the cake comes out fluffy and moist. You even use a box cake mix, so you know all that flavor is still there.
Veena Azmanov may be a self-described “cake artist and food enthusiast”, but she is apparently also part wizard. Anyone who can take tiramisu and somehow manage to make it this healthy, while still being completely scrumptious, deserves some kind of award. Try this recipe. Seriously.
