recipes for healthy cakes??

This has probably been done before........but we can do it again if so!
After reading Katies recipe for fat free bran,fruit loaf,I thought maybe we could have some similarly healthy fat free/low sugar cakes,cookies bars etc?
so that us dieters can eat treats too!

Good idea!
I don't know any more but will keep an eye out...

Good idea shall try this

Just found this on the internet

Beth's lowfat Brownies:

2 cups flour (I use whole wheat mixed with unbleached white)
1/3 cup carob powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup fruit juice
1 tsp vanilla

Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients. Add dry to wet. Mix
well and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Easy!

Icing:

8-10oz tofu (medium consistency)
2 tablespoons brandy or 3/4 tsp imitation brandy flavor
4-5 tablespoons carob powder
1/4 cup honey

Put all this stuff in a food processor or blender and blend until
smooth. It usually takes 5 minutes for the tofu to get really blended
in. When brownies are somewhat cool spread this on top, but don't
wait too long after you make the icing cause it thickens up some


I like the idea of honey instead of sugar......will try this at some point
