Hello!!
It's been a while, again.
So many things have happened and I don't think I'll be able to tell you everything but basically, JC life has been a roller coaster ride. And it's only been about 2 months.
Anyway, I'm here with a high-carb low-fat brownie recipe. Not only is it oil-free and super healthy, it's also really delicious and filling! The bananas give it a natural, delicious sweetness and the texture of the brownie is really dense and fudge-y. I topped my brownie with dark chocolate squares (vegan)- it melts in your mouth when you chew into the brownie, it's really really good. I also added chia seeds to give the brownie a nutritional boost.
These brownies are also delicious if you put them in the refrigerator and eat them chilled!!
I've been trying to get back in shape and I decided to start my 'journey' by switching my regular vegan diet to a high-carb low-fat one.
If you have any other great HCLF recipes you'd like to recommend, please comment down below! I could use some help haha :))
Recipe adapted from here.
Ingredients
2 over-ripe bananas
60g sugar (Coconut sugar is recommended)
60g cocoa powder
120ml non-dairy milk
120g plain flour (I used oat flour)
1 1/2tsp baking powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees F).
- Puree the bananas in a large bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix until everything is combined.
- Spread the batter into the 8x8" square pan lined with parchment paper.
- Add toppings of your choice. I used chocolate chips/squares and chia seeds.
- Bake for about 25 minutes.
- Let them cool before cutting into squares.
But I'm hoping I'll be more successful this time :) I don't want it to be too restrictive though. I guess I'll stick to an 80-20 rule; low-sodium and oil-free 80% of the time when I can help it and I'll let myself eat 'unhealthy' fried food (and cup noodles) 20% of the time. Sounds like a good plan :)
I even made datetorade (is that how you spell it?) last time when I was on the HCLF diet.
I miss it!!
That's all for this post, bye for now!!
