Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Baked oat brownie

A soft oven-baked brownie with a chocolate protein sauce on top.

Rico's note: Bake a pan of these on Sunday and you'll have dessert ready for the whole week, already sliced. Whatever you don't eat within 3 days goes in the freezer.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (118 g / 4 oz)
  • 1 egg (50 g / 1¾ oz)
  • 20 g (¾ oz) reduced-fat cocoa powder
  • 4 tbsp oats (40 g / 1½ oz)
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ tsp baking powder (2 g)
  • salt, to taste
  • sugar, to taste — optional; no added sugar: sweetener to taste
  • 30 g (1 oz) low-fat Greek yogurt — for the sauce
  • 20 g (¾ oz) chocolate protein powder — for the sauce
  • 1 dessert spoon (10 ml) reduced-fat cocoa powder (7 g) — for the sauce
