130 Calorie Plum Cake







I haven't used Plums very often in my baking, but I loved the tart/sweet flavor they brought to my 150 Calorie Fall Harvest Bread Pudding, so I decided to try making a cake with plums as the main ingredient.


I couldn't find a good Plum Puree so I just made my own by chopping up and blending 2 fresh plums, with the skin.

This cake only has 2 ingredients, and it is Gluten free, Dairy free, and Vegan!




Recipe: Makes 1 Mini Loaf, double ingredients for regular loaf

2 Plums, pureed - 40 cal
1/4 cup Oat Flour - 90 cal       
= 130 calories in whole loaf



1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Wash the plums, remove the pits, and cut into small pieces. Blend in Blender until pureed like an apple sauce
3. Add the flour to the plum puree
4. Pour into greased mini loaf pan
5. Bake for 20 minutes
6. Remove from oven, enjoy hot or cold :)

150 Calorie Fall Harvest Bread Pudding





Since my Skinny-tized 435 Calorie Pumpkin Loaf and  Skinny 400 Calorie Cinnamon Apple Loaf turned out so well I decided to try combining them - this recipe is what I came up with



I combined the Pumpkin loaf base with the chopped up cinnamon apples, and I added a chopped up plum for good measure. This turned out very dense like a bread pudding - but it is still gluten free and dairy free!

The fresh fruit chunks in this make the loaf/bread pudding tart and delicious even without a whipped topping!




Recipe: (Makes 3 mini loaves)

3/4 cup Pumpkin Puree - 60 cal
1/2 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce - 60 cal
1/2 cup Oat Flour - 180 cal
1 Honeycrisp Apple - 80 cal
2 egg whites - 34 cal
1 plum - 46 cal
Cinnamon - to taste, and to sprinkle on apple chunks
1/4 cup Stevia                                
= 460 calories in whole recipe - makes 3 mini loaves, 153 calories per loaf

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix Pumpkin puree, apple sauce, egg whites, and stevia - then add flour
3. Peel and chop up apple into small pieces, sprinkle with cinnamon
4. Chop up plum, with the peel - mix with apple chunks
5. Add the fruit mixture to the batter, add additional cinnamon if desired
6. Divide between 3 greased mini loaf pans
7. Bake for about 27 minutes, remove from oven when the top of the loaf is set
8. Let cool, or enjoy immediately - refrigerate leftovers
