Kitchenaid Mixer/Baking/Low Calorie Ideas

hamppy1

Hi,
I just received my new kitchenaid stand mixer. I want to bake something with it that is low calorie. I tried searching the threads for different low cal baked goods, but thought it might be easier to start a new thread. If you have any recipes I would love to hear them, thanks!

Hi. Congrats on the mixer. I am NOT the right one to respond. LOL

I have always considered myself a VERY GOOD cook, but not a baker. I got a Kitchenaid mixer last month, and went *nuts* with it. Can't say I was very healthy at ALL, but it was *delicious*. I've finally reigned it back in, but it was tough!!

What I found that aligned most closely with my eating plan was homemade angel food cake. In addition, I could make some baked goodies with applesauce instead of fats. I had BAD luck trying to substitute in my bread recipes.

Wish I could be more help. Enjoy your mixer (just not too much like I did!).

Did you find any recipes? I got the mixer for my birthday last week and am reluctant to keep it given the limited low calorie recipe options.

I like making pizza dough, thin crust keeps it low cal, also when I am feeling lazy I will mix cake mix with canned pumpkin or applesauce or sometimes yogurt, to experament. My fave combo is devils food cake with pumpkin and extra unsweetened cocoa powder, makes a yummy muffin, or top it with splenda cream cheese frosting.

Pavlova: wipe out the bowl with a damp paper towel to make sure its very clean, whip 3 egg whites with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar until soft peaks, slowly add about 3/4th cup sugar or more to taste, a splash of vanila a tsp lemon juice and 1/2 tsp salt while whipping until stiff peaks, if you like fold in a few tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder until swirly. plie on a parchment liked baking sheet and flatten until about 1.5 inches tall. bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for an hour, cool, top with whipped cream and fruit/choppled chocolate etc. Caloried depend on topping and amount of sugar, but without cocoa or whipped cream it is fat free. calores are pretty low.

Meringues: do egg whites the same but omit lemon juice, add cocoa, vanilla, almond extract, peppermint extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, or whatever you want, beat until stiff peaks, put in a gallon plastic bag and snip a corner to pipe shapes on a parchment lined baking sheet, bake at a 250 oven for 90 min to 2 hours, until dry, then turn off oven, leave door closed and let cool for several hours.

This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities guys—french toast, grilled cheese, sandwiches, open faced ‘pizza’ bread.......the list goes on and on!! ⁣
⁣
Enough rambling, here’s the part you’ve been waiting for⁣
𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:⁣
• 144g eggwhites (I used ~7 small-medium eggs) + pinch of cream of tartar ⁣
• 8g psyllium husk ⁣
• 21g unflavoured protein⁣
• herbs & spices & salt to taste! ⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬:⁣
1. Beat eggwhites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks⁣
2. Mix in the rest of the ingredients ⁣
3. Bake at 160°c in a small loaf pan for ~17-30min depending on your oven. Just make sure it doesn’t burn and isn’t jiggly or wet inside (🌚) and you’re good ⁣
