They are the same brownie just different lighting. So how delicious do these suckers look! I'll let you in on a little secret, they are healthy, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free!! I think I just fell in love! Here is the recipe:
Healthy Brownies
Ingredients
4-5 ripe bananas
1 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 T. melted coconut oil (optional- the brownies still taste awesome without the coconut oil)
4 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
Directions
In a food processor (or blender or you could mash the bananas by hand with a fork) mix together all the ingredients until fully combined. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper (8X8 for thick brownies or 9X12 for thinner- I used 9X 12 and folded the foil so that it only took up 3/4 of the pan). Dump and spoon all of the batter into the pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Check the brownies when the time is up. They should be kind of fluffy (they will set up more as they cool so don't overcook). Let cool for about 10-15 minutes then cut and enjoy! My batch made 9 brownies.
If you want the brownies to be more dense and less fluffy simple add more cocoa powder. Maybe try adding 1/4c more? Experiment and have fun with the recipe. Make it your own. Try adding in almond butter, peanut butter, coconut, dairy free chocolate chips, etc.
Bake and enjoy! Share with others!!

What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting? I was introduced to it last summer and I noticed fat loss, but not sure what your thoughts are on the method.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of fasting because I like my body to feel energized and I love working out (which is not a good idea if you are fasting for reasons such as fainting,,etc. ). I also think that our bodies can go into starvation mode if we fast meaning that we will retain and hold onto everything we consume shortly after. I think that it works for some people, but I do not think it is right for my lifestyle. Those are my thoughts on intermittent fasting.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I haven't done it in a while because I did notice I would get sleepy at times after my workouts. Thanks, Tori! :) Feeding my body with nutritious food is SO much better.
