Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes

February 20, 2023 Amanda Plott

Yep. That’s right, you can make delicious chocolate lava cakes right in your pressure cooker in no time at all. These Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cakes couldn’t be more simple to make with just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of hands on time you can have dessert ready to impress! What’s better is that these cakes are low carb naturally.

I lightened these up by swapping out ALL of the sugar for a natural sweetener. I went with a stevia that measures cup for cup like sugar, but you could really go with any natural sweeter that measures just the same…

Skinny Pumpkin Crunch Cake

October 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

Ahh, pumpkin crunch cake. You know the one. The one that's super easy to make and graces almost any dessert table during Halloween and Thanksgiving. Usually pumpkin crunch cake is pretty straight forward as a 'dump-n-go' style of cake, but I've made a few simple swaps today to make this famous cake a little more guilt-free.

You know me, always trying to make some of the most complicated and indulgent recipes into something more wholesome. I believe strongly in that small changes to any recipe can leave you with a great end result that still tastes just as amazing and won't leave you feeling guilty at the end of it…

Pumpkin Spice Poke Cake

September 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

Not all poke cakes are created equal! This Pumpkin Spice Poke Cake is basically taking a poke cake and mashing it together with the deliciousness that is pumpkin spice. It starts off with a boxed spice cake mix and adds even more spice to it a long with a TON of pumpkin. In fact, whipping up a cake mix or brownie mix with pumpkin puree is an old trick I’ve used before to lighten up a cake!

Once the cake is baked, it’s poked through and topped off with some sweetened condensed milk that seeps through and makes that cake sweet and full of richness. Then it’s all topped off with some whipped cream and even heath bits for added crunch texture!…

Healthified Pumpkin Pound Cake

September 16, 2022 Amanda Plott

I haven’t made a pound cake in a good long while, and I certainly haven’t have the change to make a seasonal one. So today was the day! This Healthified Pumpkin Pound Cake is as good as it gets! It’s dense and buttery and perfectly delish - just as as good pound cake should be. It’s got even more moister packed into its spongy goodness with the addition of pumpkin in there too.

And the added flavors of pumpkin spice makes this pound cake the perfect thing to enjoy as we roll into Fall and hopefully cooler weather. Yes, I’m still hopeful that my Fall inspired recipes lately will continue to cool things off here in Texas…

Rainbow Soda Cake

June 15, 2022 Amanda Plott

Another continuation of rainbow inspired eats and treats geared towards PRIDE month! This fun and vibrant rainbow cake is made with literally just a handful of ingredients and fairly little hands on time. This cake uses one of the oldest tricks in the book as far as cake mixes go, and that’s simply using sparkling soda with the mix and nothing more!

That’s right. You can make a cake with a box of mix and a can of soda. Pretty impressive, huh? It’s so super easy to do too! Outside of that, you divide the batter and color it accordingly. I went with the rainbow colors of the PRIDE flag, but you can use whatever colors you wish…

Skinny Birthday Cake 'Cake Batter' Cookies

June 6, 2022 Amanda Plott

I've made a LOT of birthday style eats and treats before. What can I say? My kiddo and I love rainbows and sprinkles. And there's no time like the month of June to bust our the rainbow sprinkles and cake flavored amazingness. It’s pride month AND we I have a lot of family birthdays this month too! This is an older recipe, so I decide to go back and revisit it.

Originally I found the idea for these cookies and they looked amazing, but as most of you know I can't help but tinker around and put my 'skinny' spin on everything…
