Blueberry Cobbler with Health One Meal Replacement

Meet my new best friend – Baking Powder

Since my current weight loss journey began (and once I figured out I could make more than just shakes), I started adding some variety by making cupcakes, cookies, biscuits etc. out of Health One Meal Replacement.  Unfortunately, there was always something missing – lightness!  My baking results were very dense; and, if they were to rise when baked – they would instantly fall while cooling. 

Enter “Baking Powder” the great leavening with no calories.  I started adding this magic ingredient to many of my baked recipes.  You would not believe the results.  Maybe my baked goods weren’t angel food cake airy – but they were definitely lighter and less dense!  I also found that by adding a tablespoon or two of a pre-made mix such as cake mix added a bit more baking “punch!”

Below is the Blueberry Cobbler I came up with.  I used both baking powder and cake mix and the results were great! 

A note of caution:  if you think you may be tempted by having cake mix in your cupboard, then by all means, leave it out!  You may just increase the baking powder a bit.  The flavor won’t be quite as rich; but then again, you won’t be tempted by those extra calories calling your name from the pantry.
