[lunatothebone]

if anybody is looking for low-cal recipes i recommend looking up ‘My Light Kitchen’

they have amazing recipes, a lot of them vegetarian, and they’re quite easy to follow!

this is a screenshot from the website (and as you can see they’re also on instagram)

In today’s episode of “Dear God, she’s at it again in the kitchen!”

Low Calorie Vegan 2-Ingredient Brownies

As you may have noticed, I’ve recently gotten into healthy low calorie baking. Earlier today, I found this recipe video by Rahul Kamat and decided to give it a spin myself.

Btw, go check out his channel! It’s full of videos on low calorie baking and he also provides nutritional info about everything he makes.

Now, let's get cracking!

What you’ll need

Tools

A square baking tin

A fork

A spatula

A piece of parchment paper

A bowl

Ingredients

6 bananas

40g cocoa powder

A pinch of salt

Sweetener (optional)

Process

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius.

2. Mash the bananas until there is a smooth mixture. Yes, your arms will hurt, but it’s a free workout.😉😝

Think of the reward!

I’ll admit, though, my batter still had some wee lumps because I used bananas that weren’t fully ripe (I don’t have much of a sweet tooth). Then again, you can only do so much when your arms are pure jelly.

2. Add the cocoa powder and fold it into your banana mush with a spatula. Add a pinch of salt. Optional: add sweetener to taste.

3. Crumble the baking paper and line your baking tin with it.

4. Plop it in the oven for 30 minutes.

[Optional] Lick the bowl clean before you give it a wash and clean up the rest of the mess.😉

5. After 30 minutes, pull the brownie from the oven. It could look a bit burnt, but that’s alright. The top should be firm. Also, it’s supposed to jiggle when you give it a shake.

TRUST THE PROCESS!

Here’s what mine looks like:

Positively looks like a piece of chocolatey banana heaven🤤

6. Let it cool until it’s reached room temperature and plonk it into the fridge for about 2 hours to properly firm up.

7. Cut into either 6 (118 kcal per serving) or 16 pieces to enjoy with a cuppa or on its own.

I grew a bit impatient and had two slices already despite it not having firmed up enough yet. HOLY F*, IT’S SO GOOD! It’s so soft and moist. Just melts on the tongue.🤤

Gods, I could honestly eat the whole tray.

Also, this is a good example of what happens when there are banana chunks left in your batter. I guess my brownie truly is a banana brownie, haha.🤗😹

Side note:

- 6 pieces (118kcal per serving)

- 16 pieces (44kcal per serving)

And there you have it, a simple yet delicious low calorie vegan brownie. Let me know what your opinion is if you try this one out.

Also, seeing as I’m getting into baking as a hobby, should I maybe create another blog dedicated to it? That could be fun, I think. Yeah, I’ll consider it.🤔🧐

i did it! i finally made decent low calorie brownies after trying Too Many To Think About bad recipes. next time i might add sugar free salted caramel syrup

> here is the og recipe i adapted <

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

whole thing is 292kcal, 15g fibre, 33g protein

per brownie ~48kcal, 2.5g f, 5.5g p

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

60ml/2 egg whites (32)

150g 0% fage (79)

50g cocoa (181) - i used tesco finest

70g erythritol

1tsp vanilla bean paste

1/2 teaspoon coffee powder (enhances chocolate)

mix it all together, put it a small dish and bake at 180°c for ~25 min (or until a toothpick comes out clean)

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

half is 146kcal + 16.6g protein, so comparable to a protein bar! I suggest you serve with a little squirty cream & raspberries :)

80cal breakfast recipe

Ingredients

1 small egg

1 medium banana

1 pinch baking powder

Instructions

Mash the banana with a fork. Try to get a mixture which is just slightly lumpy - you don't want a 'puree' and nor do you want large pieces of banana. It's best to use a slightly over-ripe banana for these pancakes. Sprinkle over the baking powder and mix well.

Beat the egg in a separate bowl until the yolk and white are well mixed and then add the egg to the banana and baking powder. Don't add all the egg at once, the mixture should be about the thickness of creme fraiche - if it's too runny you've added too much egg and you may find the result is closer to an omelette than a pancake!

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over a medium heat (or lightly grease if you don't have a non-stick pan)

Drop about a tablespoon of the mixture into the pan and let it spread. Continue making small pancakes. You can also put the whole mixture in the pan and stir it to get sweet scrambled eggs.

Cook for about 2 minutes till the bottom of the pancakes are set and have started to go golden brown and there are little bubbles rising from the baking powder. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute.

Really tasty and fast breakfast. Add toppings if you like :) I also added cheesecake flavor drops!

half of the flavor drops I've tried over the years are utterly disgusting but these are actually really good. they only contain three ingredients (water, flavoring and sucralose) and they're quite affordable too. the vanilla flavor drops have become my new favorite to put into coffee- you only need two drops to sweeten a big mug of black coffee.

GUYS!!! I MADE A WEIRD CAKE SUBSTANCE THING THAT, WHILE IT'S DRY, A PIECE IS ONLY 40 CALORIES!!!!! I'm super proud lol.

Recipe, as told by an idiot who made it up and prayed:

get 2 egg whites and beat the shit out of it til it's fluffy... or close enough

add Stevia, 2 tablespoons. Mix

Vanilla essence. About a teaspoon. Mix

Then the cocoa powder. 3 table spoons. MIX

We getting a little crazy, add 2 tablespoons of apple sauce. Mix

self raising flour! 3 1/2 tablespoons... I think... a little more than 3.

add 3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk. Mix!!!!

taste a little bit and add whatever is needed

get a tray and put no sugar chocolate on the bottom (the one I got was 150 cals for the 12 pieces) and spoon that weird concoction you just made in

put it in the oven at 180 degrees celsius

Wait and check on it regularly and hope, dance in anticipation.

Then add whatever the fuck you want on top, I put sugar free ice cream on it cause it was pretty dry, but it's ok for a no recipe, almost all substitute ingredient recipe, right?! Or maybe I'm just hungry.

Chicken bacon broccoli bake.

.

Ingredients: 3lb cubed chicken

1lb diced bacon

2cups shredded Colby jack

2 cups broccoli florets

2cups riced cauliflower

1 large yellow onion diced

1 poblano pepper diced

2 tbsp minced garlic (divided)

Ranch dressing

Salt and pepper

Celery seed

Chili powder

Bacon:

Cook your bacon crispy. That means cook it and drain the fat. Cook it some more, drain more fat. Again and again til there's basically no fat coming off. You want the bacon extra dark without burning because it will get soggier in the casserole. Add crispy bacon to base and stir it in. (Eat some bacon)

Chicken: leave a little bacon grease in the pan, add garlic and simmer for a minute. Throw in your chicken and let it cook stirring intil cooked thoroughly and edges are browned. Add your celery seed, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder, add to base.

Mix in cheese, pour into casserole pan, drizzle with ranch dressing, top with some more cheese. Bake at 350x 25 min.
