Mint Fudge Brownie Loaf - The Healthiest Version Ever
The brownie recipe I post a couple weeks ago blew up and people were making and enjoying. Then Steph, the founder and owner of NuIt, made a healthier version. I used that today while also adding a splash of maple syrup, cacao in the batter and a little nut milk for consistency. No coconut oil in this recipe! Steph also used oat flour instead of almond flour making it more affordable to make on a regular basis. Who doesn’t want brownies weekly?
If you haven’t seen the other version, check it out here.
Feel free to increase oat flour and coconut based on size of pan. I’m using a standard long metal banana loaf style pan.
Oh, and the mint chocolate I used actually goes so well with chocolate and peanut butter. Skeptical? I get it, but I loved it. If you want to play it safe, go with a sea salt dark chocolate or plain.
Ingredients
1 banana
1 can of beans, I used Everland Pinto
1 cup old organic fashion oats, ground into flour in high powered blender
1 cup nut butter, I used NuIt Peanut
3 tbsp chia seeds into water for chia eggs
1/2 cup coconut shreds
1/2 to 3/4 cacao based on how chocolate- y you want it. Just adjust consistency with some plant milk
splash of plant based milk
splash of maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of sea salt
1 tsbp chaga (fruiting body powder), optional add in
1 dark chocolate bar, I used mint, roughly chopped
Directions
pre-heat oven to 325 F
grind one cup oats into flour in high powered blender and put in large bowl
mix chia with water and put aside
blend 1 banana and can of beans and add to bowl. may need to stop and start blender and use tamper
add peanut butter (runny good, can even microwave, but I didn’t), chaga, cinnamon, salt, coconut, cacao, maple syrup and mix well
add plant based milk until consistency isn’t too dry and can mix well. should be thick, not runny or too dry either
add half of the chopped chocolate bar to batter
place in a parchment paper lined loaf pan and add batter
top the remaining dark chocolate on top
bake for 25 minutes so it doesn’t get dry
ENJOY. Best stored in the fridge, lasts a few days.
I literally crave this dessert and it’s made from chickpeas! The peanut butter increases the protein content and I list all the benefits of eating beans.
This is the best cake I’ve ever eaten! Plus, the ingredients are amazing. All nutritious whole foods without any oils, gluten or dairy.
These have the best creamy texture and they’re loaded with protein and fat to keep blood sugars more balanced when eating something sweeter!
Delicious vegan gluten-free breakfast cookies made without refined sugar. Basically, a bowl of oatmeal in the form of a cookie! See notes section for my new favourite way to make.
Original recipe is from the Balanced Blonde and I added a couple rockstar ingredients to take it to the next level. It’s so delicious covered in tahini.
Everyone seems to be baking banana bread right now, so I joined in too! Vegan and gluten-free, because that’s how my body feels best.
the easiest way to make pancakes for a group, or for 1 person that loves pancakes (me!)
this is so much faster than the traditional way, especially if you don’t have a girdle
vegan, gluten-free, delicious
Taco salad bowls remind me of trips to mexico! They are easy to throw together and it’s vegan and gluten-free. Plant-based eating is high in phytonutrients and anti-inflammatory properties so you can thrive.
High protein and filled with healthy unsaturated fats, these make great snacks for adults on the go. My child also loves them made with cacao instead of protein powder. Great to avoid feeling anxious or irritated from skipping a meal. All the benefits of ingredients are listed along with the recipe.
