If you think that a healthy diet cannot include brownies, we are going to change that thought. A fit brownie may not be the ideal healthy food, but it does have some surprising health benefits. Plus, simple recipe substitutions can reduce the amount of fat and calories, making your dessert a little less sinful. Plus, there is a psychological benefit to eating the foods you crave, something that can actually help you maintain your healthy diet over time.
Brownie fit to satisfy cravings
You can have it all, just not all in one day. When you're trying to lose weight, a diet that deprives you of all satisfying foods could be setting you up for failure. Instead, some nutritionists recommend indulging in little "quirks." Eating a small brownie can curb your craving without losing your diet.
Just be sure to limit your snacks to 100-200 calories and stick to desserts where they are the most healthy, such as fruit and yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 clear
- 1/3 water
- 200 grams of oatmeal
- 1/2 baking powder (better than yeast)
- 2 tablespoons 100% unsweetened cocoa powder
- 180 grams of chocolate 85%
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon of nut butter (hazelnut, peanut, almond, cashew …)
- Vanilla essence, dried fruit and sweetener (optional)
Preparation
We put the chocolate in a bowl and melt it. Be careful not to burn yourself when you remove it from the microwave.
In a large bowl we add all the ingredients and stir them until they are well united.
When the chocolate is ready, we add it to the mixture and mix so that the mixture is homogeneous.
We put the dough in a mold suitable for ovens and put it at 180º for about 20 minutes.
Remember to preheat the oven.
Let it cool for a few minutes and remove it from the mold. Finally, we can add some toppins, such as nuts or melted chocolate.
