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 love making little mini desserts for myself!! This cake looks delicious!
This looks absolutely delicious!!! Bookmarked! 😉
I want to make this right now! Definitely going to be having this for dessert soon.
What an awesome recipe! Single serving desserts are perfect because I can’t eat more 😉
i love single serving desserts – especially pumpkin souffles & deb’s protein muffin (so addicting!)
This looks yummy! I made chocolate cake for one today, so yummy and totally hit the spot 🙂
I love this recipe! It looks so good. I love single serving recipes. It’s a great way to not make a lot and end up throwing it out. 🙂
I love that we both had random inspirations today!
great minds think alike!!!
I don’t make individual desserts usually but this looks yummy!
I love single serving desserts! I actually made one last night… Microwave chocolate mug cake. I cannot however say it was low calorie :/
I bet it was delicious though!!! 🙂
