These are a perfect example how we can make healthy food as INDULGENT and DELICIOUS as your regular sugar based desserts ( I personally think healthy options taste better!?).
Plus this option is so much easier to make...
What you need:
Non stick cooking spray
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup liquid egg whites (3-4 eggs)
1/2 cup milk (your preference of milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract/powder
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 tbs chopped walnuts
Preheat oven on bake (150 degrees/ 350° F).
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the cheese, egg whites, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup + few pieces walnuts ( using the rest later).
Pour mixture into muffin tins (with a ladle) and sprinkle the walnuts on top.
Bake for 25-35 minutes. Test if cooked by sticking a toothpick into centre. They are done when the toothpick comes out clean.
I serve these for dessert with 1 tbs natural greek yoghurt/coconut cream + a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of extra maple syrup (naughty :p).
Also a perfect afternoon snack to pick you up!
Quick note: If the tarts are coming out a bit crumbly and not solid enough, bulk the mixture up with almond meal or flaxseed meal. I wanted to use as little ingredients as possible for the purpose of simplicity but if you have access to other ingredients- throw them in ;)
Protein rich! Calcium! Blood sugar lover!
Enjoy!
