Just recently I joined Team Banoffee Pie. It’s a serious team and an epic game and I soon discovered (my healthly) Banoffee Pie makes for a convincing win because it kicks some serious goals on so many levels. Obviously there’s taste. Hands down point, shoot, score! But, how great is it when you create something delicious (and sweet…) and it supercharges the nutrient stats in your day instead of withdrawing points? Come join the team if you haven’t already!
Base:
2/3 cup almonds
2/3 cup pecans
6 medjool dates, pitted
4 tablespoons coconut oil
Pinch of salt
Caramel Toffee:
1 cup medjool dates, pitted
3 tablespoons almond butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Filling:
2 cans coconut cream, placed in fridge overnight to separate
2 bananas, sliced into rounds
Caramel toffee
Dark chocolate, roughly chopped (optional)
Method:
To make the base combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until combined into a rough dough consistency. Press into tart tin and place in freezer to set for 30 minutes. It’s important this tart base is frozen well.
To make the caramel toffee place the medjool dates in a bowl and cover with boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor or blender with the other toffee ingredients. Blend to create a ‘caramel’ and set aside.
Bring coconut cream out of the fridge, and scoop the cream (fats) from the top of the can ensuring you do not scoop out any water (you can save this and pop into a smoothie later), transfer to a large bowl and whisk well until slightly fluffy. To assemble the tart remove base from freezer and begin by spreading an even layer of caramel toffee across the base. Place energy rich, delicious banana slices around the edge of the tart then spread the coconut cream over, smoothing it out with a spoon. Sprinkle chocolate chards on top and serve immediately or pop back in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.
6 days ago by brownpapernutrition Our fridge isn’t always stocked to the brim, in fact quite the opposite, I LOVE to let it run low so I can get creative with what is in there, team the ingredients up with what I have in the pantry and make meals I wouldn’t usually have thought of. However, I probably wouldn’t be able to make as many of those meals without a few key ingredients which make their permanent home in the fridge – check out my fridge team on the blog today and the how’s and why’s of their importance for nutritious meals in our home.
7 days ago by brownpapernutrition So I've just convinced Jet that brussel sprouts are IN FACT AWESOME. He, like many, were utterly disgusted by the miniature cabbbage like veg untillllllllll lots of olive oil and sea salt and a crispy bake came into the mix and now- the whole family are slowly morphing into brussel sprouts hehehehehehe... try it yes!!! Here's what to do: Lots (and I mean lots, not just a measly spray) of olive oil and a generous pinch of sea salt on sliced brussels, is the trick then into the oven at 200C for about 10-15 minutes depending on how much crispy

Servin it up with some Remedy for good measure. The recipe for my teriyaki roast veggies is on the blog - so scrumptious - and you can make up the teriyaki sauce in bulk and store it too if you love it as much as I do!!!! There are 9 DIFFERENT plant based ingredients in this meal, a source of protein from eggs, fibre (vegetables) and high quality carbohydrates derived from starchy carbohydrates such as pumpkin. Whilst you may not always have a
3 days ago by brownpapernutrition Happy Monday friends!!!! I made this platter for my family yesterday as a starter before a big lunch to celebrate some birthdays and it went down a treat, especially for me as Saturday I spent feeling just outright wretched with zero desire to do anything but rest - which I did and by Sunday morning I was back on top and ready to eat! Amazing that old REST chestnut isn't it? It's amazing how we sometimes resist it but how restorative is it??!?! Back to food... This platter appealed to both the kiddies and adults so if you're planning a
