recipe for banana cake
Low fat Banana Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 egg whites
1/4 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups mashed, ripe bananas
1/2 cup low fat sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
With a mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and butter on medium speed. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Gradually ad the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Spread the batter evenly in the baking pan with a spatula. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
This cake is decadent enough that it does not need a frosting to complete it. However, if you do not like a plain cake just add a dollop of fat free whipped cream and you will have a delicious snack or dessert

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup all purpose flour
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled butter, diced
3/4 cup walnut pieces
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix pears, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons crushed cookies, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in 11×7x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix in raisins.
Using fingertips, press together flour, butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in large bowl until moist clumps form. Mix in 4 tablespoons crushed cookies and nuts.
Drop topping evenly over filling. Bake until juices bubble thickly and topping is brown, about 40 minutes.

I have put zucchini in my chocolate zucchini cake and it really made a nice cake - same with my carrot cake - the zucchini works in there too. And, I've had a chocolate sauerkraut cake - the sauerkraut tastes like coconut.

dried apricots/dates/figs, kiwis, melon, milk, orange juice, oranges, pears and plain yogurt.
How about making a milk based dessert? Here is a link for some milk and yogurt recipes which sound nice:
