What a sexy cross section!

Men watch out... any woman who eats one of these will be full of more strength, energy and power!

 I've combined some super ingredients in these cakes making them guilt free, tasty and full of goodness. Plus who doesn't like Oreo's?  



 

Ingredients:

 

60g unsalted butter

150g coconut palm sugar

1 large egg

20g cocoa powder

75g gluten free plain flour

75g quinoa flour
20g oattbran

1 tbsp coconut flour

20g fresh/frozen blueberries

140ml low fat Koko coconut milk

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tbsp poppy seeds

1 orange zest

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 fresh banana

 Method:

▶ Preheat oven 180°c
Whisk butter, sugar and egg until pale and fluffy.
Stir through flours, bran, cocoa powder, blueberries, seeds, orange and lemon.
Pour milk in small amounts until a smooth chocolate batter is formed.
Add bicarbonate of soda then vinegar on top. Stir everything once more and scoop into twelve muffin cases.
Chop banana into small chunks and stick one in the middle of each muffin case.
Bake for twenty minutes, when you no longer see any bananas and they are well risen then they are done.

Leave to cool.
 

 

Frosting

1 large ripe avocado

1 tbsp coconut oil

100g  85% Green and Black's chocolate

Oreo's cut in half.

Maca powder

Chia seeds

Melt chocolate and coconut oil separately. Whisk together and dip Oreo halves in sauce. Freeze these for ten minutes.

Use the rest of the sauce by combining it with mashed avocado. Whisk well until all green lumps have gone and pipe on each cake.
Sprinkle maca powder and chia seeds.
Top with Oreo.

Remember don't beat yourself after treating yourself.

Not everyone can stay on top of eating healthy without wanting a chocolate bar or diving into cheeseburger every now and then.
Listen to your body.

Super cakes hey. I am loving my super food week, I'm cooking loads more, incorporating as much veg and fruit throughout the day, feeling lighter and having more clarity.

 

Try these super cute, super sweet and healthy cakes. Even if you are not doing a super food week, these are nice to make for parties, birthdays and picnics.

Or anyone who likes alternative ingredients in cakes!

Ingredients:

 

150g gluten free plain flour

1tsp gluten free baking powder

50g quinoa flour

100ml Koko dairy free original coconut milk

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp linseeds

1 tbsp poppy seeds

50g chopped Green and Blacks 85% chocolate

1 ripe medium banana

20g pumpkin seed butter
30g unsalted butter

50g coconut palm sugar

1 medium egg

 

Frosting

100g Green and Black's 85% chocolate

Half ripe avocado mashed

1 tsp lemon juice

1tbsp coconut milk

Method:

▶ Preheat oven 180°c
Put flours (inc baking powder) seeds, banana, egg and sugar in a bowl and whisk.
Melt butter and add to the bowl with seeds and milk.
Whisk well until a thick batter forms. Stir in chopped chocolate.
Scoop into 12 cupcake cases or 20 mini cupcake cases.
Bake large cupcakes for 20 minutes and mini ones for 15 minutes.

I ran out of large cases this is why there are loads of mini cakes in case you're wondering..

Once risen and chocolate is bubbling through cakes, take out and leave to one side.

Frosting:
Melt chocolate and pour over thoroughly mashed avocado with lemon juice, add milk and whisk.
Pipe small amounts on each cake, top with extra banana and they can be eaten straight away.
This frosting will slightly harden but still tastes the same when it was soft.

Super Egg White French Toast

♬ 'Under Construction' Missy Elliot

 

To start off this magical week I treated myself to a simple yet protein packed breakfast. French toast isn't the most technical recipe on earth but when made well it's pretty addictive.

 

Try my healthy version fried in coconut oil.

 

3 eggs (I've only used one small yolk in this recipe)

100ml almond milk

2 thick slices of gluten free seeded bread

Coconut oil

 

Whisk

Non stick large frying pan

 

Method:

 

Whisk 2 egg whites and one egg with milk, soak bread in mixture for one minute.

Meanwhile melt one tablespoon of coconut oil, then gently place each slice in the frying pan on a medium heat and cook for three minutes on each side.

 

Serve with something sweet or a dollop of organic ketchup.

 

Have a lovely week and remember to dream big, if you don't then your blocking magic that's trying to get in!
