145 Calorie Strawberry Cake

I love putting Sugar Free Strawberry Jell-o powder on Apples - so I wanted to see what would happen if I used it in a cake!

This turned out really yummy, it is not very cake-y because of the juice from the strawberries but this would be really good topped with some whipped cream or ice cream - it really has a strong strawberry flavor and it is pretty sweet

This dessert is gluten free, dairy free and egg free!

Recipe:

1/4 cup Oat Flour - 90 calories - 90 calories

1/2 teaspoon Sugar Free Strawberry Jell-O Powder - 10 calories

1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk - 10 calories

1/2 cup sliced Strawberries - 35 calories                   

=145 calories!

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

2. Mix together the Jell-O powder and flour - add the almond milk

3. Pour into greased mini loaf pan, top with strawberries

4. Bake for about 20-25 minutes

67 Calorie Apple Tart

After I went Apple picking I had a huge supply of apples to experiment with in my baking - here is one of the recipes I came up with!

This individual-size apple tart is so low-calorie you could eat 3.5 of them for the same calories as one McDonald's personal apple pie - I think I would rather eat my low-cal and gluten free version anyways

In addition to being gluten free, this apple tart is dairy free and vegan!

Recipe:

For the crust:
2 tablespoons Oat Flour - 44 calories
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Unsweetened Almond Milk - 3 calories
1/4 teaspoon Stevia, a dash of cinnamon and a pinch of salt    

For the Apple topping:
1/4 of a large Honeycrisp Apple - 20 calories
1/4 teaspoon Stevia, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon  
                                                                            
= 67 calories!


1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together the ingredients for the crust
3. Spread the crust batter into a greased personal tart pan or quiche pan (it is very sticky but smooth it out the best you can, it will be covered by apples anyways)
4. Chop up and peel the apple, coat with stevia and cinnamon
5. Place the apple on top of the crust
6. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the crust is cooked - enjoy hot!

Recommended Products: Nana's Cookie Bars (Gluten Free and Dairy Free)

When I stopped eating Gluten I found that most of the cookie replacements were even higher calorie than regular cookies!

But, when I was in Boulder I found Nana's Cookie Bars at the grocery store and I was hooked! I even brought some home with me in my checked luggage because I wasn't sure if I would be able to find them in Chicago

These are only 130 Calories for a LARGE cookie - these are soft cookies but they have a little crispy-ness added by some puffed rice

My favorite flavor is the Banana, but these also come in Chocolate and Berry varieties -

All flavors are Gluten Free and Dairy Free!
