Some Exciting News:
I thought I would share some exciting news that happened to me this week. I have had 2 features of my recipe/ blog. One in the Perth newspaper The West on tuesday in the Body and Mind section. See pics below! I was so excited to see my name and blog in a newspaper. I was contacted a few weeks ago by a journalist to answer a few questions about my Instagram account, why I had started it and other thoughts and tips. I did not actually believe to be published! But here is the proof:
And my kale slice recipe was featured on the Body Book website today! Pinching myself to have a second recipe published on their website. And the editor is keen to feature some more in the future as well. Yay! Go have a look now: www.ourbodybook.com/
But enough about myself you probably came to my blog for my latest healthy recipe: a healthy brownie recipe with Loving Earth Salted Caramel. I must say I made the mistake of not putting enough salted caramel chocolate throughout the brownie! So I recommend in the recipe to add a little more but of course it is completely optional - you can add whatever you want/ have like walnuts, pecans or normal choc chips.
I loooove brownies- if going to a cafe and I decide to treat myself with something naughty I would either get a croissant (I'm French after all) or a nice slice of brownie if it looks homemade. When I lived in America for a year at the age of 16 (you might not have known this about me!) my host mother made a very good brownie weekly (using 2 pre made packets and doubling the oil !!!) it tasted amazing but needless to say I stacked on quite a few kilos while in America. So if you are brownie lover like myself but not a fan of the sugar and oil content then try my healthy (gluten free- dairy free- refined sugar free) delicious brownie recipe! (Hubby approved and said it tasted like the real deal!)
Healthy Brownie Recipe with salted caramel:

- 1/2 cup of coconut oil;
- 1 egg (or flaxegg to make it vegan);
- 1 tsp of vanilla paste;
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 block of Loving Earth Salted Caramel (or less or more but more is better! always!)
- Add a bit of water or more oil if needed.
- Pre heat oven at 180 degrees;
- Mix the flour, cacao and coconut sugar together;
- Melt the coconut oil and add it in;
- Add the egg or flax egg ( 1 tbsp of flax meal + 3 tbsp of water)
- Add in the vanilla, the salt and baking powder;
- Chop up some the salted caramel and mix half in the mixture;
- Pour the dough in a brownie tin or loaf tin lined with baking paper;
- Top with more salted caramel and cook for 15-20 min at 180 (I prefer mine a bit doughy so took it out early)
