How do I make this Skinny Gingerbread Bundt Cake?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt or cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Stir until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, combine unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, egg, and brown sugar substitute. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. (DO NOT over mix-it is critical that you DO NOT over mix the batter once you combine the wet and dry ingredients.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Melt frosting in a microwavable bowl for 15-20 seconds or until smooth. Drizzle melted frosting over the top of the cooled cake.
Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg over the frosting. Serve!

- Point value includes frosting.
- The Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (sugar substitute) that is used in this recipe is zero points. Please keep in mind-the point value can vary depending on the brand of sugar substitute you choose to use. Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener also has a 1:1 ratio to real sugar. If you use a different sugar substitute you will want to use the equivalent to real sugar that is recommended on back of the sugar substitute package.

Could I use whole wheat flour instead of self rising flour?

I had been craving gingerbread over the holidays but couldn’t find a WW friendly recipe. I stumbled upon this recipe and I’m so happy that I did. This is a delicious gingerbread with lots of flavor.
I followed the recipe, using the Kodiak mix, but made them into muffins for easier portion control. When I entered the recipe into the WW app—1 point. I did not add the frosting because it added another point and I didn’t think it needed it.
What a delicious treat for one point. Thank you for sharing.

This is the best dessert I’ve tried of your so far! I used the Kodiak mix so each slice is only 1 ww point for me, but this does NOT taste like a diet dessert in the least. Will definitely make again!
