Easy Low Sugar Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

I served these Low Sugar Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls to a group of college kids, wondering what they would think since they were made with stevia. Five out of five college students were none the wiser, and declared this treat to be delicious. After all, how can we go wrong when cream cheese, peanut butter, and chocolate chips are the main ingredients?

I love having several jars of Homemade Peanut Butter on hand to use in quick recipes like this one. And of course, I like having several packages of cream cheese in the fridge, seeing as cream cheese makes everything better.

By the way, have you tried this Simple Cream Cheese Corn yet? Just when you think sweet corn can’t taste any better than it already does, you add cream cheese and it turns into a plate full of amazingness!

But back to the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls. Our 5-year old Bonus Boy and I were looking through Pinterest (a dangerous idea when you’re hungry) and found a recipe similar to this one. Since I had all the ingredients on hand to tweak it into a healthy treat for us, he and I got started mixing these up right away. Success! And according to college kids who didn’t know these were on the healthier side, no one can tell these are low in sugar. Double success!

Delicious Low Sugar Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze

Because I am your friend, I am sharing this Delicious Low Sugar Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze just in time for Valentine’s Day. See, you can make this cake any time, any day. But Valentine’s Day is sort of an excuse to eat chocolate. So this cake recipe comes to you just in time!

Does the recipe look familiar? It should. I originally created and shared this recipe a few years ago, baking it in a regular cake pan. It remains my all-time favorite cake recipe, and I usually spread Low Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting over the top.

But sometimes it’s fun to mix things up a little by, you know, pouring your cake batter into a pan of a different shape. Do I know how to party or what?

Easy Low Sugar Peanut Butter Brownies

by Leave a Comment

My first attempt at creating Low Sugar Peanut Butter Brownies actually turned out too sweet! This was shocking seeing as I had cut the sugar down tremendously from the original recipe I had found to give me the inspiration. I cut it down even more and voila. Peanut Butter Brownie perfection!

I love that cutting down sugar in recipes still turns out awesome treats. These are as simple as can be, perfectly moist (as long as you don’t overbake them), and made even more fabulous because of the peanut butter whipped frosting we spread over the top.

Make yourself a batch, pour yourself a glass of milk, sit back, and enjoy!

Easy Low Sugar Cream Cheese Cut Out Cookies

Is it just me, or can we all agree that when we add cream cheese to a recipe, it will become extra – top notch – amazing? May I interest you, then, in these Cream Cheese Cut Out Cookies? Don’t worry – they are low in sugar. Oh, but also don’t worry – they still taste incredible!

You’re going to want to add this recipe to your list of keepers! We make these Cream Cheese Cut Out Cookies for just about every holiday. Pumpkin shapes in the fall, trees and stockings at Christmas time, and hearts for Valentine’s day. If we’re really feeling crazy, sometimes we’ll make them randomly in June. It just so happens that we have a cookie cutter in the shape of Mickey Mouse. June’s as good a month as any to make a Mickey cookie.

Since I’m not much into sugar anymore, I like eating these as-is, without frosting. My kids, of course, prefer to frost theirs. In case you need some low sugar (or high sugar) frosting recipes, I will share them below. But for now…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars (Low Sugar, Whole Grain)

by 3 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

Who needs sugar when you can eat butter? What I mean to say is, these Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars taste lightly sweet and deliciously buttery. What else can we possibly need? (Chocolate chips.) Ah yes. Chocolate chips. Well, I guess we’ve thought of everything.

As many of you know, I’m not much into sugar anymore. But I do like a barely sweet treat to enjoy with my coffee. I’m not terribly picky. I think something is plenty sweet when it is only barely sweet. Much more sweetness than that seems like much too much these days.

My kids think I’m weird about this (and at least a couple of other things) and have become a bit leery of my homemade “super low sugar treats.” If Mom is eating it, it must be one of those weirdo stevia sweetened things and it probably won’t taste as good as a candy bar. I beg to differ, but I also remember being a teen and liking my Twix and Pepsi.

Now then, I guess it’s my job to confess that because of the aforementioned, I have learned to wait to eat my low sugar treats until AFTER I have served some to my sons. The two sons still living at home are the pickiest of our four. (And now we have an almost-adopted son, so I’ll be learning to say five sons instead of four, oh my goodness!)

My picky kids aren’t always willing to try new foods, so I must be wise in how I present them. I am MOM, therefore I know more than they do (about everything except Fortnite). I know very well that they will like the treat if only they try it with an open mind. After all, did I mention the butter? And the chocolate chips? And there’s actual sugar in it, not stevia. It’s just that I cut the sugar from 1 1/2 cups all the way down to just a 1/2 cup.

Just eat the cookie bars, kids.

So they did. And they like them. Shocker.

I snuck one later with my coffee, which made them second guess for a moment if they still liked them. Silly boys.

Peanut Butter Cup Whipped Cream

Peanut Butter Cup Whipped Cream? Please pass me a spoon. Maybe two spoons: one for each hand.

If you have a high power blender like a Blendtec, you can make this jewel of a treat in about 30 seconds. Otherwise, you can use a hand mixer to blend ingredients and whip the mixture in about 5 minutes. Either way, your life just got better in a very short amount of time!

The possibilities of ways to serve this Peanut Butter Cup Whipped Cream are practically endless. If all else fails, you must truly eat this all by itself, in a bowl, with a spoon. No need to defend this choice. You simply can’t help yourself.

Other more elaborate Peanut Butter Cup Whipped Cream options include serving it alongside or atop:

And truly, the list goes on and on. I’d love to hear your ideas too!

I like making homemade peanut butter to use in recipes like this:

This Peanut Butter Cup Whipped Cream will make a lovely holiday dessert or add on to your table of treats. Or if you’re like me, you might find yourself making some and eating it in the middle of August or March because there is no reason to hold back. :)

16 Delicious Flourless Treats

by 1 Comment

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

I am a wheat eater and a gluten consumer. I use freshly ground flour several times each week. Even so, I love making Flourless Treats for a change of pace. After all, we all get plenty of grains in our diet. Making treats that are flourless is a great choice for all of us!

The beauty of this list of Flourless Treat recipes I’m sharing is that every single one of them tastes like something special. These recipes don’t include weird ingredients that make them seem “healthy.” Not that any of us are opposed to eating healthy, of course. It’s just that some healthy treat recipes are strange and awkward and leave the consumer wanting an actual cookie that isn’t made with banana paste and finely ground chicken feathers. Or some such.

So please, my friends. Enjoy the following delectable recipes that no one will suspect to be “out of the norm.” All will eat these and be delighted. They will share them with their friends, saying, “Hey, you’ve got to try this cake!” Meanwhile, over in the corner, you will be chuckling over the fact that once again, you pulled off the “I made treats without flour in them and nobody suspected” trick.

Not that we’re trying to be tricky. I mean, we can’t help it if our healthier food tastes just as good if not better than their less healthy counterparts. There’s nothing we can do about this. Making great food in healthy ways is simply what we do now. We can’t even help ourselves.

Without further ado…

16 Delicious Flourless Treats

  1. Flourless Brownie Muffins (my very favorite!)
  2. Super Moist Flourless Peanut Butter Brownies
  3. Super Moist Flourless Brownies
  4. Chocolate Cheesecake Fudge
  5. No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
  6. Low Sugar Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
  7. No Bake Cookie Cups 
  8. Honey-Sweetened Flourless Peanut Butter Bars
  9. Low Sugar Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
  10. Flourless Fudge Cookies
  11. Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
  12. Honey-Sweetened No Bake Cookies
  13. The Most Amazing Flourless Cake
  14. Flourless Peanut Butter Bread
  15. Flourless Peanut Butter Muffins
  16. Flourless Pumpkin Muffins

P.S. Every single recipe on this list is a perfect choice to make for your friends and family members who eat Gluten Free. Only beware of the recipes which include oats, making sure to use GF oats!

Easy Chocolate Cream Cheese Marble Cake (Low Sugar, Whole Grain)

by 2 Comments

Not too sweet, but still sweet enough: That’s what my taste-tester husband had to say when he first dug into this Easy Chocolate Cream Cheese Marble Cake.

Oh, and did I mention that he dug into said cake before I’d had a chance to take a picture of it for you? The nerve! ;) Here I’ve been blogging for almost 11 years and everyone in the house knows to say, “Can I eat this or do you need a picture first?” Somehow, the cake looked too good. It was much too tempting. That and the poor dear was too tired and hungry to consider my picture-taking needs.

So there he was, spooning bites into his mouth while my jaw dropped to the floor and I mumbled something like, “oooohhh, I was going to take a picture of that…” Oops {sheepish grin through a mouthful of cake}.

Seeing as the world didn’t end – not even a little bit – I told him he might as well grab himself a second piece. Which he happily did. And then he gave the cake a glowing review, which I told him I would share with all of you….AFTER I threw him under the bus for ruining my picture. Ha.

So Matt’s praise of the Easy Chocolate Cream Cheese Marble Cake is this: “I love that it tastes so good, but that it isn’t super sweet! The cheesecake fits in perfectly with the chocolate cake and you should definitely make this again. Also Laura, you are so beautiful and practically perfect in every way.” (There’s a small chance I don’t remember his exact quote so I embellished as I saw fit. It is my blog after all, and Matt ate my cake before I had a chance to take a picture.)

Trust me when I say that this cake, in its whole form is super pretty with its cheesecake marbling through the chocolate. I agree with Matt that it is the perfect level of not-too-sweet-but-just-sweet-enough. And it’s cheesecake and chocolate together, so basically that is perfection in a pan.
