Skinny Cranberry Bliss Bars

December 16, 2022 Amanda Plott

Here’s another recipe from years back that needed an update in the looks department… but, not so much to the recipe itself! Here’s the original post below.

The madness is just about over here with the mass of holidays! Phew, thank goodness! I was happy to step back and have a few days to spend with my family, but now it's time to get back to work. Okay, so... here we go.

I've been wanting to make a skinny variation of the Cranberry Bliss Bar that they have Starbucks for a long long long time now. I have, in fact, had this recipe in my handy-dandy little note book for quite a while now (about two years actually) but for whatever reason it keeps getting pushed back each year.

Well, a few weeks before Christmas one of my aunts sent me a special request for a Skinny Cranberry Bliss Bar recipe. She mentioned that the one at Starbucks is something like 360 calories for one bar. Yikes! And just like me, it's one of her favorite holiday treats! So, of course I was more than happy to oblige…

Skinny Pumpkin Crunch Cake

October 10, 2022 Amanda Plott

Ahh, pumpkin crunch cake. You know the one. The one that's super easy to make and graces almost any dessert table during Halloween and Thanksgiving. Usually pumpkin crunch cake is pretty straight forward as a 'dump-n-go' style of cake, but I've made a few simple swaps today to make this famous cake a little more guilt-free.

You know me, always trying to make some of the most complicated and indulgent recipes into something more wholesome. I believe strongly in that small changes to any recipe can leave you with a great end result that still tastes just as amazing and won't leave you feeling guilty at the end of it…

Lightened-Up Giant Cookie Cake

April 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

Back when I started all this 'Skinny Fork' madness, my kiddo was just a little 3-year-old tot. Now she's at the end of 6th grade. One thing that hasn't changed through the years, has been that I always, every year for her birthday, make some sort of rainbow funfetti style magic treat.

Yep! It's true. I've made birthday cake cinnamon rolls, fairy bites, and cake batter cookies. Just to name a few. This year though? She's all about chocolate chip cookies and cookie cakes. So, when I saw this chocolate chip cookie pizza, I knew I had to healthify that bad boy up as much as I could for the big weekend ahead of us!…

Skinny Cherry Pie Bars

April 4, 2022 Amanda Plott

I'm sorry... and, you're welcome.

These cherry pie bars are easy as pie (insert chuckle here) and just flat out amazing! With less than 140 calories in a nicely sized square... how can you deny yourself such bliss?

I really can't wait to try out another flavor or maybe even use some fresh fruit for the filling.
