Pineapple casseroles are a popular side dish served in the South, but they're not always a good choice for a diabetic diet, which is why we created this lightened-up version. Our Lighter Pineapple Casserole is a dish that'll delight your whole gang!

What You'll Need:
• 1/3 cup margarine, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar substitute
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained; reserve 1 cup liquid
• 5 slices sugar-free whole-wheat bread cubed

What To Do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, beat margarine and sugar substitute until creamy. Beat in eggs, egg whites, and vanilla. Stir in flour, pineapple, and reserved juice; mix well. Add bread cubes and toss until evenly coated. Pour into baking dish.
