Welcome to the very first cooking with Nar! Recently I’ve gained a strong passion for cooking and now I want to share my favorite recipes with all of you! I have a MAJOR sweet tooth that just won’t quit, so luckily I found a healthier way to satisfy it. I have collected some of my favorite recipes as well as creating my own (ooey gooey bars). Here are a few of my favorite healthy-ish desserts. Bon appétit.
OOEY GOOEY BARS:
Ingredients you will need:
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 cups of oats
3 ripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup Almond milk (not necessary but I add it in mine because it tastes so good and makes the consistency more gooey. Hence, ooey gooey bars)
Directions:
-
In a medium bowl, peel and mash the bananas until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps left.
-
Mix in the oats, cinnamon, vanilla extract, oil (and almond milk if you’re using it).
-
Scoop onto the baking tray one by one.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees
I truly hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I also hope my friends and family aren’t lying to me when they say they taste like “little drops of heaven.”
DARK CHOCOLATE AVOCADO MOUSSE:
Ingredients you will need:
2 medium-sized, ripe avocados
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup milk (dairy, almond, or other nut-based)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
-
In a food processor, combine all ingredients and process until silky smooth and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes, scraping the side of the machine once or twice, as needed.
-
Spoon into bowls, cover, and refrigerate until cold before serving.
-
Mousse will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to three days.
This is the perfect replacement for chocolate lovers like me.
BAKED GRAPEFRUIT WITH CINNAMON AND BROWN SUGAR:
Ingredients you will need:
1 grapefruit
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
Honey
Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
-
Slice the grapefruit in half. Use a knife to cut along the individual segments of the grapefruit halves. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon.
-
Place them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes.
-
Remove the grapefruit from the oven and drizzle with honey.
If you’re feeling frisky you can add a scoop of greek yogurt on top. It makes it all the better.
