I developed the following recipe for mother’s day when my mom was on a low-carb diet. Though I am not an advocate of the particular diet she chose, I wanted to appease her sweet tooth, which had been neglected for nearly a month. I found that I needed about double the Splenda sugar equivalent to get an acceptable taste; the texture of these meringues is more delicate that the traditional version, due to the lack of sugar in the recipe.
The following recipe will require making an egg white foam and a hand mixer.
Pre-heat oven to 275 F
This low calorie, low fat recipe is a great treat. Not only does it satisfy that sweet tooth but the banana has great nutritional value.
Ingredients:
1 small peeled banana, sliced
6 Tablespoons of Fat Free Whipping Toppings
Add a little Splenda for more sweetness, or if you are a chocolate nut like me, drizzle a small amount of Chocolate syrup.
This sweet treat has only 200 calories.
