Almond Cinnamon Crunch (for One)

/

I'm a huge fan of single-serving desserts. So in today's post, I'm going to share my 4-bite, 4-ingredient dessert that is super easy to make.

It's a very small portion size but it's just enough to the edge off without you feeling bloated or experiencing a sugar hangover the next morning.

Almond Cinnamon Crunch (for One)

Yields: 1 serving

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds (I used the unsalted, dry toasted, sliced almonds from Trader Joe's)

  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil (melted)

  • 5 drops stevia (I like NuNaturals- it doesn't have much of an aftertaste)

  • A dusting of cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl or ramekin.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

VARIATIONS

  • Replace stevia with other sweetener of choice; e.g. a tiny bit of honey, maple syrup, or organic coconut sugar (Note: Use stevia for the "cleanse-friendly" version)

  • Replace sliced almonds with macadamia nuts or cashews (chop them into smaller pieces first)

This dessert recipe has turned into one of my favorites. It's TINY and you'll finish it in a couple of bites, but it should satisfy your desire for something sweet and indulgent.

It contains healthy fats to satisfy your cravings and it's low in sugar so it won't trigger an all out sugar binge.

The other night after dinner, I was craving something sweet. Since I don't keep any pre-made sweets at home, I have to make dessert if I want dessert! So with only 4 ingredients, I came up with something simple that I'm going to share with you today.

The portion size is teeny tiny, but just enough to satisfy your taste buds.

What's awesome is that this dessert is high in fat and protein (so it'll fill you up) and it's cleanse-friendly (so you won't feel bloated or experience a sugar hangover afterward).

HEADS UP: This dessert is TINY (as I believe all desserts should be!) If you can't shake your desire for sweets and want a little something to take the edge off, you'll love this mini dessert.

It reminds me of Snickerdoodle cookies but with only a fraction of the sugar.

Confession: I have a tough time resisting sweets that are sitting around the apartment. I don't know about you, but mine tend to whisper "Eat me...Eat me..." every time I walk by. This was a lot more challenging when I lived with roommates, but now that I live alone, I set myself up for success by not keeping these "trigger foods" in the apartment to begin with. But you see, I don't feel like I'm depriving myself at all. Why? Because over the years I've discovered the art of making desserts in single serving sizes that not only satisfy my post-meal craving for something sweet, but that don't make me feel disgusting afterward.
