Diet Funnel Cake: The 100 Calorie Series

Summertime is upon us and there is one thing that can tempt us all. Funnel Cake. However, this crunchy sweet snack is an unhealthy food. Did you know that a typical funnel cake can be as much as 800 calories (with powdered sugar)? This is almost HALF of your daily caloric intake. If you get a chocolate or strawberry topping, forget it. You probably have eaten most of your daily calories.

FEAR NOT

I have created a healthy alternative for you as part of the 100 Calorie Series. Let me know how I did...

HEALTHY FUNNEL CAKE

Makes 4 servings

You will use a waffel iron or skillet using zero calorie cooking spray (Pam). Do not use a fryer, because it defeats the purpose.

Ingredients
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sunflower oil
1/4 cup milk, full cream
2 egg white
1/4 cup water
Splenda (or other zero-calorie sweetner)

Directions
Mix the first 3 ingredients. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
Pour 1/4 cup batter onto skillet/waffel iron prepared with cooking spray. Remove cooked waffel
Lightly spray each side of waffel (this is so that the splenda can stick). Sprinkle each side of waffel with Splenda and remove excess.

Calories: about 90

LAZY ALTERNATIVE RECIPE :-)
Toast a frozen waffel. (Calories will be whatever the waffel is, because splenda and cooking spray are zero calories).
