- Use egg whites instead of whole eggs (fewer points).
- Swap sugar for granulated monk fruit or erythritol (0 points).
- Use unsweetened almond milk or skim milk.
- Use light butter or a little nonfat Greek yogurt for creaminess.
Ingredients (serves 9 – ~3 WW points per slice)
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 large whole egg
- 1/2 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener (or erythritol, adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp light butter OR 2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (can sub oat flour for extra fiber)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- Pinch of salt
Topping (optional, adds ~1 point per slice)
- Light whipped cream
- Fresh mint
Instructions
Step 1 – Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly mist a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place a larger roasting pan in the oven to hold water (for a water bath).
Step 2 – Egg mixture
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the whole egg, butter/yogurt, and sweetener until creamy.
Step 3 – Build the batter
- Add flour, lemon juice, zest, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Slowly add the almond milk, whisking until fully combined. Batter will be thin.
Step 4 – Fold
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. Don’t overmix – you want it airy and a little lumpy.
Step 5 – Bake
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
- Place this dish into the roasting pan and carefully add hot water until it comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
- Bake 35–40 minutes until golden brown on top.
Step 6 – Cool & Serve
- Let rest 10–15 minutes.
- Serve warm or chilled with a small dollop of light whipped cream and mint.
