Oh hi, guys.

When I shared the 100 calorie or less snacks round up, there were some key gems missing from it- Say, doughnuts, muffins and cake bars. After some calculations, I realized nearly all my sweet treat snacks fall under the 200 calorie bracket. Actually, most were between 120-150 calories! 

To keep it all rounded to the nearest hundred, I’ve collated a bunch of sweets, desserts, and snacks which fall under 200 calories! The best part is that these aren’t minuscule portions- They are filling, satisfying and perfect to cure the sweet tooth!

4 Ingredient Banana Bread Muffins

The proportion of bananas to the other three ingredients (seriously, just coconut flour, pure maple syrup, and smooth almond butter) makes these muffins super moist, gooey in the center and ‘just’ tender on the outside- They aren’t your fluffy bakery style muffin, but dense and almost fudge-like…if that makes sense! It’s paleo, gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free!

  1. As you know, we’ve been counting calories over here…and cutting out sweets has been one of the hardest parts! (Well, that and macaroni + cheese…) Love this collection here, Arman. I remember seeing these come out originally, but it’s great to have them all collected in one place for easy reference. Hope the holidays have been treating you well, mate!

  2. Oh my goodness, this is such an amazing lineup! I think any dessert that’s under 200 calories is very reasonable if you’re on a weight loss journey, and it’s incredible that your treats happen to fall in that region! Cannot wait to start baking and dig in!
