Gooey Chocolate Brownies
Recipe adapted from Jo Whitton, of Quirky Cooking for Thermomix
Here is the amazing recipe from Jo Whitton for non-thermomix owners. If you love chocolate brownies, you will love these. This is a perfect example of why you don’t have to feel deprived when you eat a healthy diet. These gooey flourless fudge brownies are made with whole natural healthy foods with some of the ingredients considered super foods!
Just to prove you can eat these guilt-free check out the goodness in them:
- Dark chocolate is a powerful antioxidant
- Dates are a good source of fibre, protein and minerals that support digestion, balance blood sugar, are immunity-boosting and help maintain regular heartbeat. Although high in sugar, dates defy the dogma that all sugars are bad.
- Eggs are an excellent source of quality protein and necessary for healthy bones and teeth thanks to their vitamin D levels.
- Coconut flour and oil fight bacteria, viruses and fungi, enhances metabolism, provides energy for the brain and increases healthy (HDL) cholesterol
However the real beauty of these is that, although they are not bitter thanks to the sweetness of the dates, this is still unlikely to be a hit with the kids. You’ve guessed it, there’s a good chance you can eat these out in the open (OMG!) in the presence of kids (WHAT?!) and not hide in the cupboard (YIPEE!)
