Peach Cobbler (yes, even this can be healthy!)

I am a HUGE fan of splenda. It is made from sugar but without any calories! Some people say it is too expensive to bake with. My response? Can you really put a price on your health? It is worth it to bake with it! Here is a great, yummy peach cobbler that I have made many of times and nobody knew it was made with splenda!

  • 1/4 butter
  • 1 cup splenda
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup of skim milk
  • 3 cups sliced fresh peaches, peeled or skins left on
  • ½ cup splenda brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup pecans or walnuts (optional)
preheat oven to 350. Melt the butter either over the oven or in the microwave. Add the butter to a 8 inch baking dish.Then mix the dry ingredients (except brown sugar splenda) and the milk. Pour batter in the dish. Arrange the peaches over the mixture and then sprinkle the splenda brown sugar over it. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Rather than having the popular ice-cream on it, you can serve it with light or fat-free cool whip! It's truly delicious!
