I made a healthy version of the Pineapple Soufflé I mentioned the other day. I don’t have the ability to follow recipe directions (unless it’s Blue Apron because they have all the ingredients right there for me) so I changed it up to make it lighter, less fat and try another bread.
Plus I wanted to make it gluten free and lower calorie since I knew there would be plenty of other treats around! (I was right, I got a solid dark chocolate bunny from my mom. It’s amazing.)
Healthy swaps are optional, but these are the substitutions I used:
white bread ->> gluten free cinnamon raisin bread
half & half ->> fat free greek yogurt
butter ->> happy thoughts (and denial)
This bread is delicious. I enjoyed a few slices for breakfast (and lunch and snack and dinner).

My family loved this! No one suspected it was made with gluten free bread or lacking butter or anything. Boom. Healthy recipe success.
Question: What other fruit should I make it with next time?
I’m thinking banana.
Orange goes so good with pineapple…..I wonder if you could add a little orange zest or some valencia orange peel (in the spice section)?
I’m having the leftovers of Julie’s version for breakfast right now, first time I ever made it. Delicious! I cut back on the sugar though, and used Portugese Sweet Bread. hey, it’s the holidays! everyone loved it!
I’d go with blackberries or raspberries. Sounds good with whipped cream.
woah! I need to make this ASAP! I dont even want to show my husband this recipe becuase he will be demanding it non-stop hahaha. I bet a blueberry lemon combo would be delicious! Im in the midst of seeking out delicious gluten free bread as im newly on a gluten free diet–ill have to check this bread out!
Apples with the cinnamon raisin bread.
This sounds amazing! I’m afraid I would eat the whole pan!! 🙂 I’ll be making this really soon!
Yum! I made one this weekend and cut back on the butter and sugar. I would try raspberries with the pineapple. Is that weird??
I am a berry person. Wonder if it would work with berries and lemon yogurt?
