Today I’ve got another easy, quick and healthy dessert recipe for you brewing right now in the Straight-up Bananas HQ.
I know what you’re thinking. Is she posting yet ANOTHER brownie recipe? My answer to you is ‘yes, God damnit’! I do what I want. And I want brownies in and around my mouth so shush!
This recipe is awesome because it’s not only gluten free, dairy free and sugar free, but also jam-packed with protein and fiber! Perfect for those who like to bulk up on protein (like the mister). This magic ingredient here is that I’m using black-eyed peas to keep the brownies moist since I’ll be using almond and oat flour instead of traditional flour. At this point, I know you think I’ve gone completely bananas, but you’ve got nothing to lose! Go Straight-up Bananas with me and give it a try!
First, place the black-eyed peas, coconut oil, honey, eggs, vanilla and sea salt in a blender and blitz until very smooth (No lumps)
Then, sift together the oat flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and almond flour together and mix with the wet mixture until well incorporated.
Then, mix in the melted chocolate.
Place in a baking tray and top with chocolate chips.
Bake for 20-30 minutes (until the mixture has juuuuust set but is still a bit gooey in the centre.
Let cool and then cut up into cubes.
Voila! There you’ve got it! Easy, healthy chocolate chip brownies that are not only good for your body but absolutely delicious!
Go Straight-up Bananas and give them a try. THEN, follow me on Instagram please by clicking here.
Oh look, it’s another healthy brownie recipe! Gluten free, sugar free and jam packed with plant based protein. Recipe is up on the blog now!
Now off to my truffle cooking class at @eataly @dubaimall

“What’s a beetroot brownie taste like?”, I asked.
It tastes like Valentine’s day. It takes like love. Moist, rich, chocolatey love.

This little piggie went to brunch and 7 courses later naively told the waitress that she couldn’t possibly finish this dessert. HA!

Every morning I wake up with the intention of being happy. I write up my to-do list intending that everything I write down will contribute to either my happiness or the happiness of those around me.
Oh and last night I had so much meat I decided to go plant-based for the day.
Do you have any daily rituals you just can’t live your day without? I know I’ve got more than I probably should, but I like following a pattern in my day-to-day life.
Oh and @snehasanks I will treasure these forever and will move them from desk to desk for the entirety of my existence.

How could everything in this place be so beautiful? Morocco took me in 10 months ago and I’ve just wanted to be back ever since.

When’s the last time you got a plate of dessert in some dry ice and with a dance and live band?

I’ve got a new menu tasting at #tribes tonight and I know I should be saving my hunger to properly pigout, but I couldn’t help myself.
I was inspired by a picture I saw on my newsfeed to make this buckwheat penny with white beans, spinach and mushrooms. #sogood

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m absolutely obsessed with mandalas.
Currently drooling over this handmade mandala I had custom made from repurposed wood for my new home office from @woodpicker_decor
In love 😍😍😍
