To complete this week’s focus on healthy 6-Week Body Makeover recipes that will help you get off of the addictive foods (foods containing refined sugar and flour), I thought I’d share a recipe with you that sounds like a dessert, but actually works perfectly for a pre-workout meal. Oh, and it also gives you a little “sweet” to try.
This is basically an easy recipe to make and it’s sure worth it in the end. The reason I say it’s “basically easy” is because you do need to get out your mixer and whip up the egg whites, but that just takes a couple of minutes.
The recipe calls for cinnamon but I like to use pumpkin pie spice instead and I’ve also used apple pie spice before.
I make this in silicone bake ware
The only thing about those neat little “loaves” (and since this is made with ground oats that you grind yourself – not flour), it does fall apart just a little bit when it’s time to serve it, but that’s fine with me; as long as it tastes good and it’s a clean recipe (no preservatives, refined sugar, flour, salt, or unhealthy fats), then that’s what I want. Also, this is actually one of the dishes I eat on the 6-Week Body Makeover to lose weight – you can see that this is definitely not a diet!
If you try this, come back and leave a comment to let me know how you like it!
Mniam Mniam. Tasty. Maybe I should try this recipie when I get home 🙂
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I think I’ll also add the Sweet Leaf liquid stevia, cinnamon flavor. Thank you for your blog.
I was told when cooking with stevia it is necessary to add 1/3 cup of something like applesauce, apple butter or yogurt. Have you heard that?
Hi, I want to try this recipe 🙂 How can I get it?
Thanks!!
email me if youd entertain the notion of being a guest chef!
Im definitely going to try this recipe—thanks.

Hi all, thanks for your comments!
@Lucee, no, I haven’t heard of including the additional ingredients when cooking with Stevia. I do know that Stevia doesn’t always work in cooking and baking – it depends.
I’d also be hesitant to add the other ingredients because of how they would affect the original recipe….also, if you do add extra applesauce or anything else, make sure that it doesn’t contain any added sugar or sodium.
For the 6WBMO apple butter and yogurt aren’t a part of the reduction phase, but plain applesauce (nothing added) is. 😉
@kristin, just click on the link in my article, or use this one: Pineapple Upside Down Cake – Enjoy! 🙂
@M, sure, I’ll shoot you an email – and enjoy the recipe, I love it! 🙂
@Lucee, something I meant to add…..I’ll do some more research on the topic of baking with Stevia. I use it out of the packet on things like plain oatmeal but I am still learning myself how to bake with it. Perhaps I’ll just go ahead and write a full post about this. 😉
I wanted to talk to you further about baking with stevia. The reason for the sugar free applesause or plain yogert is due to replacing the volume. Without the volume, a recipie could become dense (I don’t know if that’s the right word, but I’m sure you know what I mean). I’ve heard a lot of people being disappointed in the texture of their baked goods without using “the filler”. There ya go.
Hi Lucee,
Thanks for the info on that! I thought you were asking me for a suggestions before but it sounds like you already know how to bake with Stevia. 🙂
Unfortunately the apple butter or yogurt wouldn’t work for the 6-week body makeover recipes, but if you’re not following that program then you could work out the recipe as you need to. 😉
