Apple and Honey Muffins

Recipe by: JJOHN32

Be the first to review it!

A delicious low-fat muffin. Children love them, and it's a great way to get them eating wholemeal. If desired, add sultanas or some chopped nuts.

Black Bean Dip

Recipe by: dramstad

Reviews(3)

A dip low in fat and calories, but with loads of flavour. Let the dip chill so the consistency thickens and the beans have time to meld with the spices. If you can't find tinned black beans, use dried or a tin of refried beans instead.

Cinnamon and raisin muffins with pear centres

Recipe by: 4eB

Be the first to review it!

Super-simple and moist muffins with a juicy liquid pear core. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can add more sugar, but the fruit in this one keeps things sweet enough as it is. Great way to use up pears that are starting to look a little past their best!

This version of the delicious, creamy Middle Eastern dip uses yoghurt and is delightful with raw vegetables or toasted pitta triangles. It is much lower in fat than classic houmous.

Elleasha's famous millionaire Shortbread!!!

I think its very easy, well most of it sure is anyway! The only bit that i really struggled on was the mixing of the ingredients, mixing it into breadcrumbs with your fingers bit i actually found that it was easier with the dough whisks. plus it deduces your mixing time by about 5-8 minutes. from then it gets pretty easy with the rolling and cuttting and everything...!

Emily's Onion Dip

Sometimes I throw in some fresh herbs from the garden too. It's perfect for dipping with crisps or veggies, and is much lower in fat than your typical shop-bought dip.

Low-Fat Apple, Banana and Cinnamon Muffins

Recipe by: Hypnotic

Reviews(5)

This is an excellent recipe where no butter, oil or any type of fat is added - it's virtually fat free. It is not to dry and not too moist. They also taste excellent! The icing is optional but if you want them to be a little sweet - spread icing on top!!

My Terrific Tzatziki Dip

Recipe by: kookinkitten

Be the first to review it!

This is a lovely cool, refreshing Greek dip that I first tasted and fell in love with in the Greek Islands. It is lovely with hot toasted pitta bread and veggies or lamb kebabs! The key is strain the liquid from the cucumber very well so the dip stays creamy and not watery and to ALWAYS use thick, full fat greek yoghurt, any low fat versions won't cut it. Enjoy!

This cool, refreshing blend of natural yoghurt, chopped cucumber, dill and garlic is a perfect accompaniment to lamb or rice, or both! Mint may be used in place of the dill.

Rock Cakes

Recipe by: PASTRYCOOKDAVE

Similar to scones, these are great for teaching children how to cook and have fun in the kitchen. They look like little rocks but certainly shouldn't taste like them. This makes quite a big batch so you might want to halve the recipe or freeze some of them!

Shortbread

This is a Scottish recipe. The cornflour improves the crumbly texture. Chocolate, raisins and nuts are some of the things which can be added as well.
