    angel food cake or angel food cupcakes are perfect for tasty and healthy. making it from scratch is maybe 8 ingredients. there is also chocolate angel food (yummy yummy). if you want also create a berry sauce which can just be fruit with water and a little sugar. heat in a pan till the berries burst and release jucies. (but leave on the side so people can control flavors and calories

    I mix 3/4 cup of oats, a tiny tsp brown sugar. Tbsp olive oil and tsp cinnamon by hand. Then pour evenly over 2 small-medium sized apples, cut and peeled and bake until they are soft! The apples make it really sweet so you dont need to add a lot of sweetener. Sometimes I dont add any :) Makes about 2 servings :)

    A lowfat trifle is always good with lots of fruit in it and you can use a store bought angel food cake.

    Here is a great fruit pizza recipe as well.

    Do a search in the forum for Pumpkin Mouse. A guy posted a fantastic recipe in the threads that is low calorie and tastes just like the real thing for a 1/3 of the calories! MMM.

    Does anyone have the Hungry Girl, red velvet cake recipe? I'm making red velvet cupcakes for Thanksgiving but would love to make a healthier version so I can have one or two.

    I added it to the food data base under Homemade pumpkin spice cupcakes if you want to pop it into your food diary. These are seriously to die for! I got the recipe from here to begin with-just reposting :smile:

    I found the recipe on the hungry girl website:

    Red HOT!
    These cupcakes are so moist, so delicious, so RED, and so completely guilt-free, that writing extra words to introduce this recipe would be a complete and total waste of everyone's time. So here ya go... HG's Red Velvet Insanity Cupcakes!

    Ingredients:

    For Frosting
    6 tbsp. Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme
    6 tbsp. Cool Whip Free, thawed
    1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese, softened
    1 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

    For Cupcakes
    1 cup Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Devil's Food**
    1 cup Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Classic Yellow**
    Two 25-calorie diet hot cocoa mix packets
    1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
    1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
    1/2 oz. red food coloring
    1 tsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
    1/8 tsp. salt

    Directions:
    Place half of your chocolate chips (2 tbsp.) and the contents of both cocoa packets in a tall glass. Add 12 ounces of boiling water, and stir until chips and cocoa mix have dissolved. Place glass in the freezer until mixture is cold (about 30 minutes). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together marshmallow creme, cream cheese, and 1 tbsp. Splenda until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. Place bowl in the fridge to chill until cupcakes are ready to be frosted. Once the cocoa in the freezer has chilled, give it a stir, and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add the cake mixes, egg substitute, remaining chocolate chips, red food coloring, 1 tsp. Splenda, and salt. Using a whisk or fork, mix batter for about 2 minutes (until smooth and blended). Batter will be thin, but don't worry, your cupcakes will puff up once baked! Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups, and spray lightly with nonstick spray (or simply spray the pan with nonstick spray). Evenly spoon batter into the pan. Place pan in the oven, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Cupcakes will look shiny when done. Once cupcakes have cooled completely, evenly spread the frosting over them. Enjoy! MAKES 12 SERVINGS
