I’m trying to reduce my calorie intake a bit and also up my protein intake but I would still like a little something with my cup of tea in the evening.
I want to avoid buying protein powder bars etc so I would like to bake something that still tastes decent but it lower in calories than traditional bakes.
Im wondering about using whipped up egg whites, peanut flour rather than butter, yoghurt and apple sauce as examples of things that I could swop in but when I try and Google I just get weird fitness recipes that all have protein powder in them.
Anyone have any good recipes?

Slice Medjool dates in half, put peanut butter in the middle, roll in melted dark chocolate, freeze for 30 mins and then transfer to fridge. Eat when you fancy.

Dates are very high sugar! I make mochi which you could fill with peanut butter (I put nutella in, not very low calories! )

I make protein chocolate biscuits which Nutracheck says are less than 100 cals each, and they give a good chocolate hit which is what I need.
Beat margarine to soften it and then mix in other ingredients. Might need a tiny splash of milk to bring it together. Roll into 16 balls then press down with a fork to flatten. Bake at 160 degrees for about 20 mins.
