Everyone craves for comfort food – some more than others. All of you know what happens when you munch on a conventional brownie – you’ll feel bad, guilty, and gain weight.

Can food be comforting and healthy at the same time? I have good news for you – you can have a piece or even more of your brownie without feeling regret or putting on weight.

Take a look at the table I drew to compare conventional brownie (butter, sugar, eggs, refined flour) and Nutriplanet’s plant based whole food brownie.

You could have almost three pieces of Nutriplanet’s whole food brownie for the amount of calories in a piece of conventional brownie.
You’d need to eat seven pieces of whole food brownie to get the same amount of fat you’d be getting from only one piece of conventional one. Moreover, there is 8.5 times more saturated fat in the conventional brownie.

You know what they say: “The fat you eat is the fat you wear.”

With a lot of plums on market I tried the plum-version of my delicious brownie – it only got yummier! The juicy plum halves are just a delight in the middle of the cake! And the cayenne just adds the necessary extra spice.

Tips on my peanut butter plum brownies:

  • Make your own apple sauce – peal 4-5 small or 3 big apples and boil in a bit of water for 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • If you use tartrate baking powder (like I did), add 10 g to the dry ingredients.
  • If you do not have oat flour, you can measure 155 g of oats and grind them into flour.
  • Store the leftover brownie pieces in freezer. Heat up in oven whenever needed.

Enjoy!
