3-2-1 Cake in a Mug

I couldn't believe it... Cake in a minute... In a mug... I *think* it's 3 points... I used sugar free cake mix so not sure... May be less... I'll figure it up and edit when I find out.

To make the mix, combine your favorite cake mix (I used SF Devil's Food) with 1 box of angel food cake mix.  Keep stored in zip lock or air tight container.

To make cake... Spray a microwave safe mug with butter flavored PAM.  Mix 3 Tbsps of cake mix blend with 2 Tbsp of water in separate bowl.  Pour in prepared mug.  Place mug in microwave on high for 1 minute.  Be amazed!

You can do any type of additions.  I just cut up a banana on top and drizzled sugar free caramel sauce on it with some Redi Whip.  It was yummy!

Thanks to my WW friend, Kristi, for turning me on to this.  Nice little treat.

Favorite Fruit Smoothie

NOTE:  Works best with frozen fruit.  I usually keep small ziplock bags individually portioned with a banana, handful of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc.  When ready to use, I take it out frozen and break up any of the fruit that has stuck together.

2-3 WW Smart Points

To make:

1 Baggie with my frozen fruit
1/3 - 1/2 cup Chobani 0% fat plain yogurt
1/3 - 1/2 cup unsweetened light almond milk
Splenda, to taste.

Blend until smooth.  Thin with water or almond milk.

I drink all of it due to low points and fruit.  Enjoy!

Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes (as modified by me)

Original recipe: http://www.justataste.com/fluffy-greek-yogurt-pancakes-recipe/print

Serving Size : 2 ( Makes 4 - 1/2 cup sized pancakes -- 2 large pancakes for each = 8 points for the 2 pancakes)

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon Splenda (I would add a little more -- I like a sweet batter)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other variety of milk)
1 large eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla extract (I would add a little more)
1/4 cup plain 0% Chobani Greek yogurt
Blueberries 
Maple syrup -- for serving


In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, splenda and salt.

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add the yogurt and stir.

Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and spray it well with butter flavored nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, spoon a half cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake and sprinkle with a few blueberries.  Cook just until bubbles form around the edges of each pancake, about 3 minutes or so. Flip and cook for 4-5 minutes to make sure it is done through.  Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve the pancakes topped with maple syrup.
