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…

Double Chocolate Banana Bread

February 24, 2022 Amanda Plott

Not all banana breads are created equal. Thinks Double Chocolate Banana Bread takes the cake. It’s a chocolate banana bread batter that’s been lightened up and LOADED with a heaping cup of chocolate chips so that you get an extra chocolatey bite each and every time. It’s a great way to use up old or frozen bananas in what might be a fun and more exciting way than your standard banana bread.

I like baking banana bread for breakfast for a few reasons, the first being that it gives me breakfast to have on hand for the entire week with little to do other than mix up the batter and bake! Banana bread reheats well too, meaning you can have a warm homemade breakfast that’s decadent and delicious!…

Blondies + Maple Cream Cheese Sauce

April 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

It was my brother’s birthday celebration this past weekend, and it sure was a lot different from how it was last year for sooo many reasons. Thankfully vaccinations are in place and we got to celebrate together once again! In lieu of a cake though, my brother wanted blondies this year which I am totally down for! Don’t get me wrong, I love cake as much as the next girl, but there’s something to be said about a good blondie.

These blondies are my healthified take on the ones that you’ll find at one of those chain restaurants. It was always my most favorite dessert there. What with the warm blondie with white chocolate chips, some vanilla ice cream, and that AMAZING maple cream cheese sauce on top. Mmmm…

Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

October 29, 2020 Amanda Plott

Usually around this time of year my daughter is begging my mom to make pumpkin chocolate chip bread or muffins, but since my mom isn’t around yet this year (for the obvious reasons and the not so obvious ones) , I decided to whip up a loaf of the family favorite myself.

This Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread is lightened up in the best of ways without sacrificing flavor or texture. The bread is just as moist and decadent as it’s full on bad boy brethren - I promise! I only made a couple of swaps to this bread. One was subbing in some natural sweetener in place of sugar, and another was subbing out ALL of the brown sugar for a brown sugar/sweetener blend. That’s it. That’s all…

Skinny Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

August 12, 2020 Amanda Plott

So the other day I ordered pizza. Yes, delivery. What? You think I eat healthy all the time? Nope! Fun Fact: I whole heartedly believe that part of eating right and healthy means that sometimes you should afford yourself splurges. Give into a craving every once in a while. …Anyway. I also grabbed a ‘cookie pizza’ and my kid sort of fell in love with it.

Today I decided to have her help me make one! Of course, the one we made is better for you already simply because it’s homemade and from scratch. Plus, the sugar is reduced and we have complete control over what’s going into it. And hey, any excuse to get her in the kitchen with me is a good one…
