Breakfast Spice Cake (E)

    This is my third month eating a new way. The Trim Healthy Mama way! ( trimhealthymama.com ) It has allowed me a freedom with food and I have lost almost 30 pounds this way! My husband and kiddos are able to eat the food (with a few tweaks since they need to gain and not lose weight) and are enjoying it as well! This is really for the whole family and that's what I love about this 'diet'. If you have questions and would like to look into it more, I'd love to help you how I can! 

  

    Now here is a recipe that has carbohydrates but not much fat and a good amount of protein, making it an E (energizing) meal! (the opposite is an S (satisfying) meal which is higher in fats and low in carbs with a good amount of protein)

    I thoroughly enjoy making up my own recipes and I'm always changing and tweaking recipes I find on Pinterest or Facebook. 

    Breakfast Spice Cake

   1 Cup of Old Fashioned Oats (blended into a powder)

   3 Tbs. ground cinnamon

   Dash of Ginger

   1/2 tsp. of baking powder

   2 Tbs. of Stevia extract powder

   Blend all of this together well in your blender.

  

   Add to blender:

   1/2 cup of liquid egg whites

   3/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese

   1/3 cup of applesauce (make sure it's natural and has no added sugars)

   Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 pan and place in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes and then check it (it may need to stay in for a few extra minutes depending on your oven.)

   Frosting:

   1/8 cup of  0% Plain Greek Yogurt (I use Chobani brand)

   1 1/2 tsp. of ground cinnamon

   1 tsp. - 1 1/2 tsp. of Stevia extract powder

   Once cake is finished and out of the oven, cut into squares and place on plates and then with a spoon put a thin layer of your 'frosting' on each individual piece. I drizzled honey onto my husband and kids' to make it just a bit more sweet, but if you're trying to lose weight, I'd stay away from the honey.

    This does dry out fast so don't leave he leftovers(if there are any!) sitting out in the pan for long!

   

ENJOY!!!!
