Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler

November 14, 2019 Amanda Plott

Are you getting tired of the same ol’ - same ol’ when it comes to the dessert options around the holidays? Shake things up this year and try out this delicious Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler! If a pumpkin pie and a cobbler had a love child, this cobbler would be it!

This delicious wonder of a dessert makes it’s own gooey pumpkin caramel sauce while a spiced up cake forms on top to make one hell of a Fall inspired cobbler, if I do say so myself. Lightened up and made just a little better-for-you with just a few simple swaps…

Skinny Crock Pot Dulce De Leche

November 29, 2016 Amanda Plott

I know, I know... how can dulce de leche be skinny? Well, that's pretty simple actually, you make it using a reduced fat sweetened condensed milk. Tada! Really dulce de leche is similar to a caramel, though it's generally a little thicker and made with a slow cooking process using sweetened condensed milk. The slow cooking changes the taste and texture of the sweetened condensed milk, giving you a sweet caramel like sauce that literally only takes one ingredient and minimal effort!

It makes a great gift too. Especially when you put it in cute little jars with decorative notes and ribbons. Why? Because who doesn't like caramel?! Plus, like I said... it's easy to do, tastes great, and has very little hands-on time needed...

Skinny Mixed Berry Monkey Bread

June 23, 2016 Amanda Plott

I know what you're thinking... how in the world could monkey bread be considered skinny? Well, I've lightened this up as best I imagine anyone possibly could considering that it's a sugary, decadent, gooey, caramel mess of a breakfast treat. So bear with me for a bit while I try and explain all the good that I've done here.

Monkey bread is one of my favorite breakfast or brunch treats, largely in part to the fact that it's so easy to toss together and always comes out in an impressive form. I mean, you know... look at it. It's truly drool-worthy. The only down-fall of it is that it's usually one of the most sugary and unhealthy breakfast bites out there. So, I've taken this traditional treat and revamped it into something a little more guilt-free...

Skinny Baked Samoa Oatmeal (Overnight)

I love Samoa Girl Scout Cookies!

The other day while at the grocery store, I spotted Samoa coffee creamer and just had to have it. That was actually my inspiration for this oatmeal. What else can you do with creamer other than pour it into your coffee every morning? Apparently, a lot!...
