How many times have you heard : the simplest way to lose weight is to follow no sugar and no flour diet. Undoubtedly, eliminating white sugar and flour from your daily diet reduces the amount of empty calories intake. But does it mean we deprive ourselves from all the goodies out there? Of course not. There are healthy alternatives like low carb desserts.
I have made these no white sugar and no flour muffins to satisfy your dessert cravings. The best part is no baking is involved. With a few healthy ingredients you can make this dessert in no time and impress your guests whether they love low carb dessert or fully decadent desserts. These muffins are scrumptious. I bet these will tempt you to have second helpings without having that guilt trip.
Here is the recipe for these muffins.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup roasted almonds, 6 pitted dates, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tbsp skimmed milk
For creamy chocolate icing:
2 cups hung yogurt, 1 cup dark baking chocolate shaved, 1 tbsp skimmed milk, 1/2 cup organic maple syrup or agave syrup.
Method:
Pulse the roasted almonds in a blender until roughly chopped. Then add pitted dated, olive oil and milk and blend it to make a smooth dough. Take out your muffin moulds of either metal ones with liners or silicone ones. Now put the spoonful of dough into the moulds and press it evenly with your fingers. Then put in the freezer for 15 minutes. In the meanwhile make your chocolate icing ready.
In a bowl whip the hung yogurt. In a double boiler, melt the shaved dark chocolate. Now mix the two and whip it. Add maple syrup but if you are preparing for diabetic people add Agave syrup. Whip it well. Take out the muffin mould setting in the freezer. Spoon over the almond muffin base. Freeze for one hour. Take these muffins out just five minutes before eating. Enjoy.
