Healthy Recipe: Avocado-Banana Brownies

It has only been a week and I'm already trying many healthy recipes because I want to change my meals as many times as possible so I'm still motivated to stick to my New Year's resolutions...
ČEŠTINA NÍŽE...



I love anything brown. It means there could be chocolate in it. And I looooove chocolate. Brownies are my favourite desserts. I could eat them every day, not kidding. But now I'm trying to lose weight and brownies are usually full of sugar which wouldn't fit into my diet (don't get me wrong, I'll definitely have some later but for now I want to stick to my diet plan as much as I can). But I've heard about brownies made of avocado or red beans. So I decided to buy avocado this time (even though I don't really like it) and found the easiest recipe I could.
But that seemed too easy so I found another (still quite easy) one and combined both of them. And let me tell you, it was delicious!

Here I am with easy and quick recipe to bake healthy and delicious brownies!
INGREDIENTS
* 1 avocado
* 1 (or one and a half) banana
* 1 egg
* 5 tablespoons of milled oat-flakes (or oatmeal)
* 120 grams of Dutch cocoa powder 
* dash of baking powder 
* You can also add small pieces of nuts, dark chocolate and 1 or 2 tea spoons of honey.



1. Mix pieces of banana and avocado and blend them. 
2. Put egg, oat-flakes, Dutch cocoa and baking powder together and mix it together with that fruity mass. 
3. When the mixture is smooth and mixed together you can add some honey to make your brownies sweeter. You can also add small pieces of nuts or chocolate (it's really good, trust me!).
4. Put it into the oven that you preheated up to 220 Celsius degrees.
5. Bake it for 20 minutes (brownies are done when you jab a fork into it and the dough doesn't stick to it)

That's really easy, isn't it? And I was so surprised that you don't need so much flour to make a good dough. I served it only with fruit but you can add anything, for example Greek yoghurt. 
I'll definitely make this more often. It can be served as dessert but I'm definitely going to eat it as breakfast! 
Have you ever tried avocado-banana brownies? Did you like it? Or do you prefer that unhealthy version? I'm actually not sure anymore! :)
I might try recipes with red beans next time...

*******************

Je to teprve týden, co jím zdravě, ale už teď se snažím zkoušet a měnit spoustu receptů, protože bych nerada, aby mě ta jídla přestala bavit a já se tak vrátila k nezdravým verzím...

Miluju každé hnědé jídlo. Hnědá signalizuje, že by v něm mohla být čokoláda. A já čokoládu zbožňuju! Brownies mám proto ze všech sladkostí snad nejradši. Ale většina z nich se do zdravého jídelníčku úplně nehodí, protože toho cukru obsahují opravdu hodně. Slyšela jsem ale o zdravých verzích brownies, které se dělají z avokáda nebo z červených fazolí. Rozhodla jsem se tedy pro avokádo, aniž bych ho měla nějak ráda, a šla jsem si najít nějaký lehký recept. Jeden jsem našla. Jenže se mi zdál až podezřele lehký, a tak jsem našla ještě jeden (který ale nebyl zas o tolik těžší) a tak nějak jsem je nakombinovala. A dovolím se pochválit, protože z toho vyšly výborné brownies!

Takže tady je ten lehký a rychlý recept na výborné a zdravé brownies!
INGERIENCE
* 1 avokádo 
* 1 banán (může to také být jeden a půl banánu)
* 1 vejce
* 5 polévkových lžic rozmixovaných ovesných vloček (nebo ovesné mouky)
* 120 gramů holandského kakaa 
* špetka kypřícího prášku
* Můžete také přidat malé kousky ořechů, hořké čokolády či 1 až 2 lžíce medu.



1. Rozmixujte společně kousky avokáda a banánu. 
2. Do této směsi přidejte zbylé ingredience (vajíčko, holandské kakao, ovesnou mouku a kypřící prášek) a smíchejte je. 
3. Do dobře promíchané a hladké směsi můžete dle chuti přidat kousky ořechů či hořké čokolády (sama to můžu jedině doporučit). Dosladit brownies můžete například medem.  
4. Pečte v troubě předehřáté na 220 stupňů. 
5. Pečte přibližně 20 minut (brownies jsou hotové, když se vám nelepí na vidličku). 

Tak to je vážně lehký, co? Sama jsem byla překvapená, že ani nepotřebuju moc mouky, abych namíchala dobré těsto. Brownies jsem si dala jen s ovocem, ale přidat si k nim můžete prakticky cokoli (třeba řecký jogurt). Já si je takto určitě upeču znovu. 
A co vy, už jste někdy podobný recept zkusili? Chutnalo vám? Nebo máte raději tu nezdravou verzi? Já si teď už nejsem tak jistá :)
Příště možná zkusím najít i nějaký recept, kde se brownies dělají z červených fazolí...

  1. Myslíš, že by to šlo aj bez vajíčka vo vegan verzii?

    1. Přiznám se, že nevím, čím se ve veganské kuchyni nahrazuje vajíčko, a tak ti moc asi neporadím. Ale vláčné je to i bez vajíčka právě díky avokádu. Věřím, že by to tedy bez toho šlo :))

  8. As a vegetarian I eat a lot of avocado as a source of protein, so I love that this is a little different from the usual ways of eating it! I've never been known to be a very skilled baker, but these are so simple i might have to give them a try!
