Using banana bread as the cake and peanut butter as the frosting you can have all the fun of a cake pop with a little less guilt. My son loves these and we don’t miss all of the extra sugar and butter.

Patriotic Pop-Tarts are the perfect 4th of July treat. Raspberry jam “stripes” and blueberry “stars” give natural color to these little American flag hand pies.

This dessert is simply my favorite Hawaiian breakfast in pound cake form. By substituting low-fat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, I can have my tropical cake and eat it, too!
