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.
I *lurv* little bowl cakes! So simple and perfect.
This looks so yummy!
Oh wow, this looks delish! I have a bag of almond flour I don’t really know what to do with–but now I do! Figure out how to make a vegan version of this 😀 I like cakes-for-one, but am not a fan of single lady cookies. I want the whole batch!
Ohhh I’ll totally try to do a vegan version!!! Maybe with some flax seeds??
This looks so good! I don’t make single serving desserts that often, but I should, so then the rest of it isn’t sitting there staring at me!
i love this idea – i am always on the lookout for healthy and tasty single serving desserts. now i must find almond flour…
single servings are the ONLY safe way to eat dessert for me 🙂 i love protein cakes! try adding cocoa powder and top it with peanut flour paste….it’s like chocolate peanut butter cake!
xo.
That sounds AWESOME!!!
Mhmm, that dessert sounds pretty good! 🙂
oh my lanta. ok can this work with another flour though since I have no almond flour? or should I just go out asap and buy the damn flour? lol this sounds amazing! single serving desserts help me ALOT. if there are leftovers I WILL find them and I WILL eat it all. by myself. I kinda love dessert like that 😉
Looks good! I never bake because it makes too many servings, but I never make single-serve treats either because it’s too much work for one little serving. I have no idea where this line of reasoning comes from…
Hahaha I’m sure there is a happy medium in there somewhere!!
Looks amazing!!! 😀
