9 Calorie Pan-Seared Apple Fritters





Here's another apple recipe - it isn't the prettiest thing I've ever made, but these apple fritters taste really good! And they are much better for you than traditional deep-fried apple fritters. These are healthy enough to eat as breakfast, a snack, or dessert!

These are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and only 135 calories for the whole batch!



Recipe:
1 egg - 70 calories
1/4 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce - 25 calories
1/2 a medium Honeycrisp Apple - 40 calories
1 teaspoon Stevia                                                  
=135 calories for whole batch, makes about 15 small fritters - 9 calories each


1. Wash and cut the apple into small pieces - I cut mine into shoestring-type pieces
2. Whip together the egg, applesauce and stevia
3. Add the apple to the egg mixture



4. Spoon small amounts into a heated greased pan, flip carefully, brown both sides - repeat with the rest of the batter
5. Top with butter or sugar free maple syrup, enjoy hot :)

100 Calorie Pumpkin Pancakes




I really like the pancakes you make with just a banana and an egg  - I tried them last year after I saw the recipe all over Pinterest, they are so easy to make! - But since it's fall I thought I would try making them with Pumpkin!

Pumpkin also has less sugar and calories than bananas so these are an even healthier version of pancakes :) If you are feeling extra festive you could mix some pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon into the batter or sprinkle some on top of the pancakes - 

These are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free and Paleo :)




Recipe:
1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree - 20 calories
1 egg - 70 calories
2 tablespoons Sugar Free Maple Syrup - 10 calories       
= 100 calories total


1. Mix together the pumpkin and egg in a bowl
2. Pour about 1/3 of the batter into a heated and greased skillet (medium to high heat)
3. Flip when bubbles start to pop on the top of the pancake and the edge is solid - cook until both sides are browned
4. Repeat with the rest of the batter - top with syrup :)

260 Calorie Big Mac Salad



I love McDonald's Big Macs - but this salad version is much healthier, I don't even miss the bun and the cheese!

This is a very heavy salad, but it tastes exactly like a Big Mac in my opinion - 
It is also Gluten free and Dairy free!




Recipe:
1/4 pound Ground Turkey Breast (or other meat) - 120 calories
1 large pickle - 20 calories
2 tablespoons Thousand Island Dressing - 90 calories
Lettuce (about 2.5 cups) - 20 calories                            
=260 calories total


1. Grill your turkey burger, flipping about halfway through
2. While the meat is cooking chop up the pickle, wash and chop up your lettuce
3. Put the lettuce in a large salad bowl, top with pickles
4. Add your turkey burger to the top of the salad, top with Thousand Island Dressing and more pickles
