Chill until served. This recipe features heart-healthy olive oil , fiber-rich berries , and antioxidant -packed dark chocolate , plus a flourless base that will appeal to gluten-free chocolate fiends.

Espresso powder is optional but recommended because this ingredient makes chocolate taste even more chocolaty. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Place a double boiler over simmering water.

Add the baking chocolate and olive oil and heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted. Note: If you do not have a double boiler pan, a large mixing bowl works well placed over a pan of simmering water. Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Stir in the maple syrup, espresso powder if using , vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder. Mix gently until just combined. Add the applesauce and eggs, mixing just until smooth. Stir in the cocoa powder until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the preheated oven. Bake until the top of the cake forms a thin crust and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle registers degrees F, about 25 minutes.

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before loosening the edges with a butter knife and gently removing the sides of the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Top with cocoa powder and fresh berries, if desired. Despite what the name might have you believe, egg creams contain neither eggs nor cream. However, they do contain milk, which lends a dose of calcium and vitamins A and D to your cup, according to data from the USDA.

This egg cream has less sugar than the traditional variety because the chocolate syrup is made from scratch. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and cocoa powder until completely smooth. Pour cocoa mixture into a serving glass with a long spoon and add milk.

In general, cakes are large and having them laying around the house can prove to be too tempting even for the most self-disciplined healthy eaters. If you have celiac disease or are following a gluten-free diet for another reason, it can also be difficult to find a delicious cake you can enjoy.

To make beet puree, add roasted or steamed beets to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Leftover puree can be added to smoothies, pancake batter, or pasta sauce.

Lightly grease a 8 x 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or ½ tbsp of canola oil and set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cashew butter, beet puree, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add cocoa powder, baking powder, dark chocolate chips, and walnuts, if using, to the bowl and mix just until combined.

Pour brownie mixture evenly into the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Cocoa is naturally rich in fiber and minerals, including magnesium and iron, per USDA data.

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Cut bananas in half widthwise and insert a craft stick into each half. Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Lower heat to low and place a second medium saucepan on top to create a double boiler.

Heat the chocolate, stirring constantly, until it is fully melted. Remove chocolate from heat and carefully dip one banana in at a time, covering as much as possible. Place dipped bananas on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with desired toppings. Health Conditions A-Z.
