Low Sugar (But Still Delicious!) Easter Desserts

Low Sugar (But Still Delicious!) Easter Desserts - theskinnyfoodco

Did you know the average person consumes around three chocolate Easter eggs over the Easter bank holiday weekend?

Some Easter eggs (like this Lindt Gold Bunny and Easter Egg) contain over 2,000 calories (which is a whole day’s calorie allowance for a woman, according to the NHS.) 

If you want ideas on how to enjoy festive Easter treats while keeping your sugar, fat, and calories in check, read on for some of our favourite low sugar Easter desserts!

Easter pancakes 

Guess what? Pancakes aren’t just for Shrove Tuesday!

Our Skinny Low Sugar Pancake Mix can be used to make pancakes that contain just 21 calories per pancake. 

And you can serve them with your favourite zero-calorie sauces and syrups!

Prefer fluffy American-style pancakes? Try this easy recipe served with fresh berries. 

Spiced rice pudding with seasonal fruit

Give this comforting classic a low-cal makeover by using Suprfuel Cream of Rice instead of traditional pudding rice.

Once prepared, add some fresh mango or stewed rhubarb for natural sweetness and a burst of spring flavour. 

Lighter chocolate brownies

Yes, you can still enjoy chocolate brownies if you’re calorie-counting!

These fudgy treats by Arman Liew can be made using Greek yoghurt instead of butter or oil. 

You can even incorporate The Skinny Food Co.’s Chocaholic Smooth Bar into this tasty recipe.

If you want to make your brownies diabetic-friendly, remember to use a sugar substitute suitable for baking

Fresh fruit fondue

This fun, interactive dessert is easy to make and perfect for kids.

Just melt some dark chocolate (ideally 70% cocoa or higher) with a splash of almond milk to create a rich dip that’s lower in sugar than milk chocolate versions. 

Serve the melted chocolate with strawberries, raspberries, orange segments, and banana slices. 

The high fibre content of the fresh fruit will help to slow down sugar absorption, so this is a great option for diabetics

Raspberry-almond oat cookies

This chewy oat cookie recipe by Cassie Best combines heart-healthy porridge oats and ground almonds for a satisfying texture.

The fresh raspberries add natural sweetness and a fun pink hue, while the cinnamon helps to enhance the natural sweetness without adding calories. 

Already got a favourite Easter recipe? Using wholegrain flours will add fibre and nutrients to your dishes, and you can always garnish them with fresh fruit to add some natural sweetness and a few essential vitamins.

If you want to reduce the calories, fat, and sugar in your fave dessert, try replacing half the sugar in the recipe with natural sweeteners, such as mashed banana. You could also try using Greek yoghurt or mashed berries to reduce fat content while retaining moisture.

Remember, spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla will all help to add natural sweetness.
