Beanie Brownies!

One of the comments on my Chick Pea Blondie recipe inquired about using a different kinda bean/ legume for the base mix... This got the cogs turning and me thinking about the possible yummy variations ...so I took my Blondie recipe and made it even more decadent and chocolaty by using a tin of black beans and adding 2 tsp of good quality cocoa powder to the mix .... Still healthy, but taste oh so more indulgent! ....aaaand gluten free!


CHOCOLATE BLACK BEAN BROWNIES
1 tin of Black beans
1 banana
1 egg
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup sweetener
2 tbsp peanut butter
chocolate chips
Chopped nuts
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract 

Follow the same directions for the blondies! I also made some chocolate icing to drizzle because my sweet tooth was in overdrive.

What I Ate Wednesday.

I photographed everything i ate today, wednesday. Can't wait for my studies to be over so I can post some proper recipes and blog to my hearts content. so here is... W.I.A.W.

 Breakfast.
Homemade oaty appley protein bar. recipe to come ;)
 Bobbin assissted in helping me sort out some University work.
Then we ate Lunch
A sort of luxurious student's lunch of Smoked Salmon a top of scrambled egg whites and the M&S gluten free bread I purchased yesterday.Bobbin looked longingly on as a chowed down. The bread roll weighed a ton! It was dense and very dry, but toasting it halved, and a good slavering of 'I can't believe its not butter.' sorted it out.
Obligitory Diet cola
 On research, The internet reliably informs me that all of the American candy stash i have if GF! Waaaahey... snacks ahoy.
Banana and mini mallow cup consumed...

 Dinner Time!
Curried butternut squash with roasted chick peas and aload of veggies.

SWEET TOOTH O.D

HEAVEN
On a Trip to Eastbourne, for some charity shopping. I couldn't resist nipping into an old fashioned seaside novelty confectionery shop. Could have bagged myself a whole days worth of meals...
Got myself a fry up for breakfast or  pie and chips for dinner.
 Mmmmmm Marshmellow sandwich for lunch...
... and to round things off nicely some fruit, nice, light and healthy.
