What I Ate [For a Low Calorie Dessert] Wednesday
Sometimes, inspiration just strikes.
I was long over due for some play time in the kitchen. I was in the mood for something sweet… warm… decadent…. oh, and low calorie.
I’m just glad inspiration came in time for What I Ate Wednesday.
So today, I’ll be featuring What I Ate for Dessert 🙂
It took trial. Error. And lots of dirty ramekins. But I did it! I made the recipe for a single serving, but you could easily double it or triple it. Just note that the microwave time is for one serving!
Almond Cake for One
- 1 1/2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp pureed pumpkin
- 1 tsp egg white
- 1 tsp soymilk (or other milk)
- 1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 drops of almond extract (Sub in vanilla if you must!)
- Dash of salt
I mixed everything in one ramekin, and then transferred it to a new one that was sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Then I popped it in the microwave for 45 seconds, and voila! A dense, sweet, rich, cake. All for me.
This lovely little cake has just 75 calories, 1.5g fiber and 4g protein. Beat that!
All. For. Me.
It’s a good thing I could share this, because all of my other eats have been exactly the same. Cake batter yogurt bowls, salads with super creamy hummus, and Trader Joe’s Asian Stir Fry. Lame. I know.
Single Lady desserts are my favorite – I will definitely be trying this!! I make microwave lava cakes all the time. I just love the warm, gooey center.
This sounds INCREDIBLE! 😀 You know I love it since it’s easy for lazy people like me haha
Love this!
So easy and it looks amazing!
Looks great girlie! I’m not much of a dessert person, but I love experimenting with the single serving ones going around blogworld. I’ll keep yours in mind for the next time a sweet pumpkin craving hits!
Hmmm single servings??? Not really. I end up wanting more then 😉 HAHAH! I should start making them more!
This looks FAB!! I love anything dessert and fabulous!
xxoo
What a fun dessert!
oh snap, lizzy poo i may just have to make this!!!
No dairy, no soy! 😉
Omgosh! That’s brilliant! Now, all I need is a microwave! 😉
This should have been the title of my WIAW too… I think I ate more cookies than I baked tonight. LOL!
Hahah that’s exactly why I love single serving desserts! When I make a big batch, I eat half of them at once!
Don’t you love microwaveable, little desserts?? Will definitely try your recipe… especially since it’s so low calorie.
