Healthy key lime cake

So I’ve got this thing for key lime cakes and lemon curd tarts. I just can’t get enough of them. The sweetness of the crust with the tartness of the filling–oh dear lawdy!

So, in the true spirit of working on my new year’s resolution of being kind to my Temple, taking good care of it and nourishing it well, I give to you this healthy rendition of a key lime tart. It’s quick, easy and healthy. Most importantly, it’s ridiculously easy to make and only needs 6 ingredients. Are you ready to have this tarty beauty in and around your mouth?

Here’s what you’ll need:

  1. ½ cup of almond powder (or crush the almonds yourself)
  2. ½ of pitted dates
  3. A pinch of sea salt
  4. 2 very ripe bananas
  5. The juice of 1 lime
  6. 6 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
  7. 1 sliced lime

Here’s how it’s done, son:

First, you’ll need to make the crust. 

Combine the almond powder, dates, sea salt and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and blitz them in a food processor.

Line a tin with cling film and place the crumbly crust and press the crust into the tin nice and tight.

Combine the bananas, lime juice and another 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a blender and blend till nice and creamy.

Top the crust off with the creamy mixture.

Place sliced lime on top.

Place in freezer for about 3 hours.

Slice and serve.


Yes, it is that easy. 

Please go straight-up bananas with me and give this recipe a shot.

It’s easy, quick and healthy. Oh…and did I mention that it tastes like tarty heaven?

Since you’re here, why don’t you follow me on Instagram?

Alrighty. Bye.

Healthy peanut butter fudge brownies

So I’ve been testing and trying different healthy brownie recipes. So far, this is my favorite. It’s so fudgy and decadent and when you bite into it, your whole face gets smothered in oozy peanut butter goodness. Now I know why it’s called foodPORN. It’s so damn sexy.

And you know what the best part of this recipe is? You only 1 dish to make it. I’m a sucker for any dish that requires the least amount of post-chocolate-coitus dishwashing.


Ingredients:

A ½ kg tub of yogurt

¼ cup of skimmed milk

1 tspn of vanilla extract

1 tbspn of flaxseed “eggs”** (could be substituted with 1 large egg)

¼ tspn of sea salt

1 tspn of baking powder

½ cup of honey

½ cup of organic cocoa powder

½ cup of oat flour (finely-milled oats)

¾ cup of melted, runny organic unsweetened peanut butter

1 handful of chocolate chips

1 tspn of melted coconut oil

**Flax seed eggs are a healthy alternative to using eggs when baking. All you have to do is mix 1 tablespoon of milled flaxseeds with 2 ½ tablespoon of water. Stir well and allow to sit for 5 minutes. The mixture will have a runny egg-like consistency to it.


The method to my madness:

 

-          Preheat your oven to 150 C

-          With some coconut oil, oil up your baking pan so the brownies don’t stick

-          In a blender, mix all the ingredients except for the peanut butter really well

-          Although the mixture may feel very runny, don’t worry about it. That’s what will make them super fudgy

-          Pour into your baking tray

-          Add spoonful dollops of the warmed up peanut butter

-          With a knife, swirl through to give the brownies a marbled effect. DO NOT OVER MIX THEM.

-          Top with the chocolate chips

-          Bake for 20-25 minutes

-          Allow to cool completely before serving for maximum gooeyness

This can and WILL be the best thing you’ve had in your mouth all day. I promise. Go straight-up bananas with me and give the recipe a chance. Oh, and add me on Instagram.
