Coconut Flour Brownies



This recipe is simple to make and packed with loads of delicious flavour. A great option for healthier treats. I always serve these brownies with natural greek yogurt and a handful of raspberries & blueberries - a perfect combination!
They are also perfect to share with friends! I had the girls over for a movie night in the weekend and they were a prefect 'treat' for us. Heres what Lauren had to say about them: "I'm currently eating super healthy in the lead up to my holiday but I was craving something naughty last week. Sav's coconut flour brownies were the perfect treat for me to indulge in - not to mention they saved me from going out and gorging on a sugar-packed slice from the shop!"

Ingredients

1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon of coconut flour (measure out 1/2 a cup of coconut flour then take out 1 Tbsp)
1/2 cup cacao powder 
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of butter (melted)
3 eggs (at room temperature)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of rice malt syrup (or you can use raw honey or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract

Method 
1. Preheat the oven to 150℃ and grease a small baking dish (glass if possible).

2. Mix together all ingredients. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer.

3. Pour mixture into the baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 

 4. Cool for 30 minutes before cutting or removing from the pan.

These brownies store well at room temperature or in the fridge for a few days. Make sure you keep them in an airtight container.

 Enjoy x

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
