Great recipe. Here's what I would use to make it twice as healthy. 1. Substitute the vegetable / canola oil for coconut oil 2. Instead of good quality raw coco use raw cacao powder 3. You can use coconut sugar instead of raw sugar as well 4. You can use unsweetened almond milk instead of soy milk I'm not a big fan of peanut butter. I would use walnut butter instead of peanut butter or leave it out completely and follow another recipe for the icing or simply top it with fresh fruit - Strawberries, kiwis and bananas are great. Though bananas have the highest sugar content here.
Unfortunately I doubt it will taste very good:( As much as I am all for healthy treats I think this has been done many times and nothing beats the real thing. I think moderation with the good stuff works best rather than binging on something lighter because it has less calories many think oh wow now I can eat 3x as much.
You have to learn how to eat appropriately. Moderation is always key. I honestly prefer the healthier version, always, hands down. Because, it's a lifestyle/choice to make smart choices when it comes to your health. What benefits does white flour, white sugar have? A few changes here & there go a long way, & it's so delicious, you wont feel guilty, but good eating them.
Chelsea Underwood You don't put eggs for rising, lol. You originally put them for moistness and to hold the dry ingredients together. (along with taste)
I love Bethenny so much!! BUT....it seems to me that she is always talking about dieting, fad cleanses, working out, food rules, etc. She says she is advocating for women to embrace their bodies, yet she is obsessed with food and may herself struggle with eating disordered thoughts. I bring this up only because her show is a platform that millions are influenced by each day......maybe she is contributing to the problem that she actually wishes to help defeat. #foodobsession
