How to Make Dietetic Strawberry Shortcake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar substitute (if using) and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the shortcake cool completely before slicing.
  9. While the shortcake bakes, wash and hull the strawberries. In a bowl, gently toss the strawberries with sugar substitute (if using) and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  10. Once the shortcake is cool, slice it into squares and top with the delicious strawberry mixture. Enjoy immediately!
  11. Optional: Add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
