Healthy Triple Chocolate Vegan Brownie!!

YAASSS you read it right! 

Ask me what i love most in this world?? CHOCOLATE and HEALTHY VEGAN FOOD! so yes this recipe is my dream come true! 
These brownies are heaven if you love raw vegan food. 
They will not only fulfill your chocolate craving but are also insanely healthy (considering you get proximately 12 brownies out of 1 cup of brown sugar which again is unprocessed so even more healthier that white sugar! Can you believe that?). 
And even though these are made out of completely raw ingredients, you can also substitute processed ingredients if you wish. 
And the best part is that this recipe is very simple and easy to follow and you can play around with it! 


Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or 1 cup white flour) 
  • 1 cup brown sugar (or 1 cup white sugar)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Organic almond milk (or regular milk) 
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil ( or use vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 
  • 4 oz chocolate chips or bittersweet chocolate chopped 


    


Preheat oven to 350 degree fahrenheit, and coat an 11"x 8" pan with cooking spray or butter. 
Than sift together whole wheat flour, brown sugar, coca, baking powder and salt.  


Next stir in oil, applesauce and vanilla. 


Spread the mix in the coated pan evenly. Now you can either add the chocolate chips inside the mix or spread it on the top. I added half in the mix and spread the remaining half on top.



Bake for approximately 35-40 mins. After 35 mins check if the brownies are done by inserting a toothpick in it and see if it comes out clear. If not let it sit in there a few more minutes.


When done, let it cool completely and refrigerate. And when you are ready to serve, cut them into squares and dust with some powdered sugar, just for that extra something!


There we go! As easy as 1 2 3! Mix dry ingredients, mix in the wet ingredients, spread some chocolate chip love on top and bake away!

Try it out and let me know how it goes! And remember,

Banana Nice-Cream!


For them sugar cravings! 

Ever since I have started my fitness journey, I have tried a lot of different recipes and fitness routines. I have experimented with low Carb diets, low fat high Carb vegan diets, vegetarian recipes, and many healthy non veg options.
I decided to turn away from unhealthy options and start making the right choices. However, since I am only human, sometimes I do have craving for chocolate ice-creams with crushed Oreas in it. In order to satisfy my craving i decided to try something new and boy did I love it!  
So here is the recipe for vegan chocolate Nice-cream! And the best part is you only need few ingredients for this and it only takes a few minutes to prepare!


Things you'll need: 
  • 7 Frozen bananas 
  • 1 Ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
  • Brown/ Icing sugar (optional)

Its pretty simple! All you have to do is gather your ingredients and mix them in a blender or a food processor! Blending the frozen bananas might be a little hard. Use a spoon as needed. Mix in sugar as preferred. If the mixture is a little runny, leave it in the freezer for 15 mins. I prefer mine a little soft instead of completely frozen.
Decorate it with sprinkles or nuts or mix in some oreas! and your good to go!
Now this isn't your typical chocolate ice cream, high on fat, sugar, and calories. Instead it is a great substitute and it tastes delicious!


The best part about this one ingredient recipe is that you can mix and match. You can personalize it however you want! Put in some peanut butter instead of cocoa powder and you have peanut butter nice-cream.


Add in some frozen berries and you have mixed flavor snack! use cinnamon as a sugar substitute. Do whatever you like!

Be creative! Be original!




Sky is the limit!
