Here's one, Rita, I think it could be filled with nearly anything from fruit to ice cream. It takes no leavening at all, just those whipped egg whites. I'd leave out that 1/8 tsp of salt, I can't see how it could possibly make a difference. This one doesn't use applesauce in place of fat because it has no fat other than in the eggs. You could also leave out the walnuts and cut the fat even further. I'm thinking it would be good with a cherry filling, like Black Forest Cake. Double-Chocolate Cream Roll From Light & Tasty INGREDIENTS 1-1/2 teaspoons shortening 5 eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup plus 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar, divided 3 tablespoons baking cocoa 1/8 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups cold fat-free milk 2 packages (3.3 ounces each) instant white chocolate pudding mix or 2 packages (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed 3 tablespoons fat-free caramel ice cream topping, divided 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, divided 1 tablespoon fat-free hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed SERVINGS 12 DIRECTIONS Coat a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; line with parchment paper, coated with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in vanilla. Combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar, cocoa and salt; gradually add to egg yolks. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into egg yolk mixture. Spread into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.

That sounds like a good low fat muffin! I make the following and keep in the freezer for breakfast. These are very good. They have less sugar and some good ole oat bran...if your interested. Don't overbake these so they stay moist: Oat Bran Morning Muffins (Very good and very good for you.) 2 1/2 cups oat bran 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1/3 cup canola oil (or extra-light olive oil) 2 cups buttermilk 1 cup dried blueberries or cranberries 2 medium apples (Gala); peel & chopped small 2 large eggs; beaten 1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 375° and position rack in the center of the oven. Grease or place muffin liners in 16 to 18 standard size muffins cups. In a large bowl, combine the oat bran and the brown sugar; stir in the oil and buttermilk until evenly moistened. Add the dried fruit and chopped apples. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes, add the eggs. Combine the remaining ingredients and add to the buttermilk mixture using a large spatula or spoon just until evenly moistened, using no more than 15 to 20 strokes. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups level with the tops. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until tops are dry and springy (tooth pick test comes out clean). Let them rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to rack to cool. Store in an air tight container. They freeze well. *Recipe from Beth Hensperger, Author of the Bread Bible and The Pleasure of Whole-grain breadsÂmy minor changes are as written above. Marilyn

Here is a no fat - low sugar (no processed sugar) dessert Date Cake 0.5 lb Medjool dates 1.5 cups almonds 1. Pit 0.5 lb Medjool dates and mash into a paste. 2. Powder 1.5-2 cups of almonds in a blender and mix with the date paste (add until paste is relatively stiff) 3. Pack stiff paste into a small bowl or cake form, then turn out onto a plate and serve. Optional: Flavoring with strawberries and/or peppermint (dehydrate, powder in blender, and mix with the almond powder in step 2), also mix the almond powder with a small amount of honey for date cake icing. Final product is very rich and we like it best as a small slice served chilled with fresh blackberries, peppermint, and apple slices. The cake will store for 2+ months in a Ziplock in the fridge without loss of freshness. Stephen

You might want to try a little trick I use. I take Sprouted-Grain Cereal (they are wholegrain nuggets similar to Grape-nuts) and make a crumb crust with it much like making a graham cracker crust (which would be another option for you). It only takes a little bit of butter (about 1 T. melted) to make a whole lot of taste and it will be more satisfying than completely fat-free. Add a little honey for sweetener and to help it stick together and just press it in your pie pan and bake until it is set and browned a bit. I don't have a recipe, I just guess at the amounts and I use tart pans and make a small pie for two people. I make 2-servings of homemade chocolate pudding, or blueberry filling with frozen berries and thicken it a bit and add a sweetener to taste, using this "crust" for our little "tart pies". You can also pulse the cereal in a food processor if you don't like the "crunch". You could also make your lemon pie filling, fill the pie pan, add the meringue and go entirely crust-free. Here's my version of Apple Pie and hubby has never missed the crust. I serve it in a tulip-shaped ice cream dish with a little of the cereal sprinkled on the top and it's not bad with a bit of ice cream on the top, either. Orange Sauced Apples 3 T. brown sugar (I use agave nectar - a low-glycemic sweetener) 1 T. cornstarch 1/4 t. nutmeg 1 c. orange juice 2-3 medium cooking apples, thinly sliced In medium skillet (or pan), combine brown sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and orange juice; blend well. Stir in apple slices. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil stirring occasionally. reduce heat. Cover; simmer 5-10 minutes or until apples are tender and sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve warm. Yields: Four (1/2-cup) servings. (We like the leftovers cold, the next day.) Note: I sometimes toss in some raisins, craisins, dried blueberries, or dried cherries to change it up a bit. Here's another favorite that is adapted from a recipe for Apricot Chutney. Once again, make a crumb crust, or just serve it with some of the cereal sprinkled over the top for that added crunch. 1/3 c. apricot spreadable fruit (or orange marmalade) 1 cup chopped apple (or just a whole apple or two) 1 T. raisins (this adds a "buttery" taste without adding fat) 1/4 t. salt 1/4 t. allspice (or applepie spice mix or cinnamon) 1 T. cider vinegar Mix all ingredients and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes. I'm getting to be an expert at making non-crusted pies and we don't miss the crust AT ALL! Grainlady
