I was knocking these up today before heading off to do a little outdoor workout in one of the parks in Melbourne, and wondered why the heck people try to over confuse recipes, healthy ones in particular... Maybe it's because some chefs or foodie writers want to seem smarter or something, but personally I think it just scares people off from trying the recipes! I personally also don't have the time and patience to put together some recipes, and that's why I try to make recipes as hassle-free (and washing-up free!) as possible. Healthy food should be easy, but not boring! This recipe is super simple, super tasty and definitely not boring. These chocolate fudge squares are refined sugar free, gluten free, and offer a good hit of protein and healthy fats. This recipe should make 8-10 squares with all the chocolate sauce you could ever need: Cake Ingredients: - 125g melted Butter (grass fed or organic, unsalted)
- 1.5 cups Almond Meal/Ground Almonds
- 1/2 cup raw Cacau Powder
- 4 whole Eggs (free range or Omega 3 enriched)
- 1/3 cup pure Maple Syrup or Date Nectar
Sauce Ingredients: - 1 cup organic Coconut Cream
- 2TBS pure Maple Syrup
- 2TBS raw Cacau Powder
The EZ Method: - Preheat your oven to 180c, and line your baking tin with greaseproof.
- Literally just throw all the cake ingredients together in a bowl and mix until consistent and smooth.
- Pour the mix in to the tin and bake in the oven for around 20mins or until a toothpick comes out the cake clean.
- For the sauce blend the 3 ingredients together then add to a saucepan gently heating for 2 minutes.
- Cut in to 8-10 squares and serve with raspberries or strawberries.
- Pour the molten chocolate sauce and enjoy, without the guilt :-)
Hope you're having a great weekend! Gareth |
