Not too quick, but sugar free Angel food cake served with fresh fruit... lasts a few nights.

Re: anyone have a quick-healthy warm dessert for at night to make?

yes, I have this one I was going to try....
Blueberry Angel Food Cake
Cake:
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 cup sifted cake flour
12 large egg whites (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons sifted cake flour
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375°.
Sift together 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup flour.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Add 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.

Sift flour mixture over egg white mixture, 1/4 cup at a time; fold in. Fold in vanilla and blueberries.

Combine 2 tablespoons flour and lemon rind; toss to coat. Sprinkle over egg white mixture; fold in.

Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, spreading evenly. Break air pockets by cutting through batter with a knife. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan; cool completely. Loosen the cake from sides of pan using a narrow metal spatula. Invert cake onto plate.

To prepare the glaze, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Re: anyone have a quick-healthy warm dessert for at night to make?

banans are super easy....
(I hope this makes sense)

I lay banana on their side (so they can lay flat)
Take out 1 (the top section) of the banana peel

Slice the exposed banana long ways and open the fruit up so you have 2 halves to the banana, still in the peel.

I sprinkle some cinnamon and put some mini marshmellows in the center and place banana, with peel on, onto a sheep of aluminum foil and bake at about 375 until the peel is black.
Done!

With apples you can either dice them up and place them in a non-stick sprayed baking dish or leave them whole (but core them).
I'll then sprinkle with some brown sugar and raisins/caisins. Or usually just add some sugar-free pancake syrup and bake until tender with a fork.

my DH made the apples the other night with a little grand marnier,,,,DELISH!

You can also make apple crisp --- or homemade apple sauce in the crock pot (or cook on the stove all day, smells SOO good) and then serve with some fat free cool whip!
