Skinny Salted Caramel Apple Crisps

When it comes to food, I usually have a pretty good sense of intuitive eating. All you can eat Korean barbecue? No problem. I eat till I’m full. Free pizza? If I’m not hungry, I don’t really care to have it. But, throw in anything that involves apples and brown sugar and I’m a sucker. Zero self-control. Like, I’ll eat apple pie till I’m sick and eventually have to ask Kyle to take it away from me.

Skinny Salted Caramel Apple Crisps- 235 calories each!!!

What I’m trying to say here, if you haven’t already caught my drift, is that I have the self-control of a 4 year old when it comes to any type of apple dessert. 

That’s why, these single serving Skinny Salted Caramel Apple Crisps are perfect for me! Well, they’re perfect for anyone who loves gooey homemade caramel blended perfectly with soft baked apples. Then you throw on a fabulous crumble made with golden raisins, pecans, and oats and you’re set! A fantastic dessert with only 235 calories and with its own built-in control system for those days when you think it best not to devour an entire pie singlehandedly.

Skinny Salted Caramel Apple Crisps- 235 calories!

One recipe makes two mouthwatering crisps total, so you can use it to earn brownie (err… apple crisp) points with a significant other, or you can stop kiddin’ yourself and just inhale the second one as well. You’ll have to guess at which option I’d go with.

Skinny Salted Caramel Apple Crisps- 235 calories each and able to satisfy any craving!Honestly, these crisps have everything you could possibly want in an apple dessert and are bursting with that sweet caramel flavor that’s accentuated even more by that small pinch of salt that makes them mhhmm mhmmm good. 

And they’re easy to boot! Cut up yo’ apples, pour that sweet caramel over (don’t lick the spoon, you’ll burn off the top layer of your tastebuds… not that I would know), and straddle that streusel right up in there. Also, let’s pretend I didn’t just use those two words in a sentence together. 

Skinny Salted Caramel Apple Crisps- 235 calories each and in easy to portion servings!

Then you get a scoop of vanilla ice cream that melts into the ramekin and makes you swoon. Honestly, why are there Hey Girl memes when skinny salted caramel apple crisps and vanilla ice cream exist in the world? Some things in life just don’t make sense.  Hey Girl Apple Crisp

Ahhh, that’s better.

 

 

White Chocolate Cranberry Scones

You know what’s Marvelous in My Monday? These babies. 

Healthier and low calorie scones filled with white chocolate and cranberries. Super yummy!

I’m in a sugar coma. 

This morning has been filled with delicious goodness and I’ve been busy in the kitchen baking scones and mountains of cookies for a cookie exchange party tonight. On the menu? Apple pie cookies and deep dish chocolate chip cookies stuffed with caramel (literally a mouthful). 

But, back to these guys.

Delicious, light, moist, and with a great texture. These white chocolate cranberry scones are straight from heaven! I mean, c’mon. Just LOOK at that powder sugar drizzle. Liquid gold, I tell ya.

Healthier and low calorie White Chocolate and Cranberry Scones! Delicious!

These scones are perfectly sweet and with a great combination of flavors! I love the bit of tartness that the craisins add to the moist scones and the heartiness of the them. Usually, baked goods don’t leave me feeling full and satisfied for long, but these beauties are made with a combination of white and whole wheat flours and oats, making them more substantial!

Skinny White Chocolate Cranberry Scones with less than 200 calories each!

Another great things about these white chocolate cranberry scones? They’re made with only three tablespoons of butter in the batch, which gives them the perfect light texture and lighten up a normally calorie and fat laden treat! While I’m most definitely not against treating yourself, any recipe that lightens up a recipe without sacrificing flavor is a winner for me. (Plus, they give you the perfect excuse to eat twice as many.)

I have a major sweet tooth, but I’m one of those people who can’t handle an excess amount of sugar in the morning. Like I mentioned before, these scones have the perfect amount of sweetness which lend themselves to be called a (healthier) treat, but they lack the sugar content to make you feel sick from the sugar buzz.

These taste superb with a cup of coffee or tea and I can’t wait to savor one in the quiet hours of the morning!

Skinny Spiced Chocolate Crackles

Some days, nothing will do but a cookie. 

These cookies.

Skinny Spiced Chocolate Crackles. Delicious 110 calorie cookies with a fudgy, spicy kick!

They’ve been hiding away in the family recipe book since last Christmas when I made a batch of 60 of them for a cookie exchange, but it’s about time that they resurfaced in all their delectable glory!

I can’t exactly remember from which magazine the recipe was copied down from, so if it strikes you as familiar and you remember the source, please let me know so I can credit the magazine! 

Skinny Spiced Chocolate Crackles. Delicious 110 calorie cookies with a fudgy, spicy kick!!!

Sweet, moist, and with the most tasty kick of spice and flavor, they’ll be one of the main stars on any dessert table and will be one of the most uniquely delicious cookies you’ve ever had! Describing them can be a bit hard, since they have an original flavor all their own. I’ll give it a wild go and compare them to a hybrid fudge brownie and ginger cookie with chunks of half-melted chocolate chips in every bite.

These Skinny Spicy Chocolate Crackles also come together in a flash! They couldn’t be easier to make and you literally just dump all the ingredients into a bowl and mix. While I love spending time in the kitchen, sometimes you just need to GET A COOKIE INTO YOUR MOUTH PRONTO, and I promise these babies won’t disappoint! 

And the best part? With only 110 calories each, they are a great way to indulge over the holidays without going overboard! They’re jam packed full of rich chocolate flavor that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Bread

Hello all you lovely people! 

I know, I know, I’ve been AWOL again lately. I feel like this a reoccurring trend once I hit midterms (I’m on the quarter system instead of the semester system, so this is basically every couple of weeks… le sigh) and it really bums me out that I feel too drained to blog. I miss you guys!

Anyways, one of my favorite ways to de-stress is to cook and bake and am so excited to share this recipe. It’s everything you could want in a good sweet bread: moist, bursting with flavor, and perfectly sweet. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best pumpkin bread I’ve ever had (HAH- take that Starbucks!). The best Skinny Pumpkin Spice Bread! Moist, full of flavor, perfectly sweet, and for 200 calories a serving!

 

And guess what? It contains no butter, mostly egg whites, and mostly whole wheat flour! 

While I wouldn’t say that it has the nutritional stats of a carrot, it’s a great option for a healthier treat that still tastes absolutely delicious and like the real deal. Since I live in an apartment complex with well over 20 friends to share it with, the bread was gone in no time and nobody could even guess that they were enjoying a healthier treat. I promise, it won’t disappoint! 

If you’re going to pin this recipe, please pin this picture below! Thank you!

Note: this recipe makes enough for one loaf and a some muffins. I haven’t yet mastered converting the recipe into two full loaves, but I’m working on it! 

 

Enjoy and let me know how it turns out for ya! :)

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Walnut Streusel

I know, I know, this makes two pumpkin recipes in less than 3 days. If I keep it up, I’ll be turning bright orange and secreting pumpkin spice from my skin (I actually think the second symptom sounds a-okay). 

But, YOU GUYS, there are some recipes you just can’t not share, like these Skinny Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Walnut Streusel. I mean, I just want to eat the name of the recipe itself.

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Walnut Streusel! Only 150 calories each!These are everything you’d want a muffin to be: moist, dense, bursting with flavor, and topped with a tasty streusel and drizzle of sweetness. And guess what? All for under 150 calories a pop!

This may be a bold statement, but I think that these muffins, along with my Pumpkin Spice Apple Butter recipe, are two of my favorite pumpkin recipes of all time. For me, they both embody the comforts of Fall and I know that they will be making another appearance soon! 

If my testimony isn’t enough, my friends are always glad to help. I’m lucky that I have plenty of willing taste testers around me, and none of them guessed that these little jewels were made with almost all whole wheat flour and only two tbsps of butter! The only comments I got on them involved “OMG these are so good” and even my non-pumpkin loving friend said that they were delicious!

As a matter of fact, the entire batch was eaten in one day. 

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Muffins with Walnut Streusel! Only 150 calories each! Trust me, these look as good as they do in the pictures. Beauties!
