Good idea with the recipe - we had brownies from kidney beans today and that was real yummie. You do not taste the beans at all - my granny (89 years) loved them😋
Your wee honey articulating that she feels “a little low down” was so sweet, and it’s a testament to you guys that she can express those hard feelings! Love to your whānau ♥️
Like Chef Aj says, "If it's in your house, it's in your mouth". That being said, I'm in the weight removal phase, so this type of indulgence is something I would do in a VERY blue moon. I commented earlier and said I was trying this recipe, and I will, but not for quite a while. I have zero control over higher processed foods and if I make them, I make sure I have a small serving and give the rest away. Just works better for me.
Excellent recipe! Thank you❤️ This shake helps my chocolate cravings… In a good blender… About 3 cups of ice 1 banana(frozen is best) Powdered cocoa to taste (about 1 tablespoon) 1 cup almond milk(a low calorie milk) Stevia to taste. It’s simple. And many know this recipe already, but I had to share. You can make so many variations this shake. My kids love raw pumpkin and pumpkin spice shakes. Just delete the cocoa and add other fruits as well. Yummmy!
Glad to have a dessert recipe that I can make for my occasional treats. In order to keep serving sizes in check, I will cut up all the pieces and freeze them in individual servings so it isn’t as easy to eat more than one at a time. I just take one out of the freezer to thaw. Thanks for your great informative videos! You are the best!
Yeah that's my trick too. Cut them up and keep in the freezer so you have to take just one out at a time. If they're left in the fridge or on the counter, they just disappear! I find brownies freeze really well. The texture is still perfect.
Yes. Freezing is great. But it is still too tempting for me. Alas, I just pull them out of the freezer and eat them frozen. I'm not picky! Chocolate is chocolate! 😆
Need to gain weight, had 3 pieces but used whole almonds and added frozen raspberries for the crunch and texture. Topped with walnuts and was delicious. Thanks.
Microwave cake recipe: 1 scoop vegan protein powder 1/2 tsp baking powder Water or almond milk until it's a paste Pack of stevia and cinnamon if you want Dried fruit if you want Microwave 1.5 minutes
Thank you Chelsea for another great video. I make a very similar sweet potato brownie they are delicious. A little hack to save you some time with the chocolate on top of the brownies. Immediately after removing the pan from the oven put the chocolate on top of the hot brownies and just let it sit there it will melt and then you can spread it across the top.
If you are still trying to loose the stubborn fat then watch first from minute 13:00 and pay particular attention at around 14:30, if you reached your weight goal already then have fun and enjoy your sweet potato brownie.
What’s your fav dessert? Mine was definitely apple pie, but this brownie hits the spot too. Its very occasionally though!! This would be a great thing to make for if you were going to a birthday etc and you wanted a sweet treat but not to eat the other processed foods.
Hands down: Jill Dalton's Oreo Cake!!! I made it for my birthday and 5 times since!🥰 Seems like I have one in the fridge at all times these days. I think I will slow down, though, and start my weight-loss soon. This is obviously not for weight loss, even though it fills me up so nicely, I don't eat more than 1000 Cal. of cake a day, even "free range"😂 and happily eat veggies in between. Also, I started substituting 1 cup of Brazil nuts (for selenium) plus 1 cup of pumpkin seeds for 2 cups of cashews in the cream, and maybe 1/3 cup (I don't measure either, Chelsea! 😉 )of blackstrap molasses plus a squirt of agave syrup for 1 cup of dates in the cream - it turns the cream brown and the cake looks like a chocolate cream oreo in the end, but it has more iron, which I seem to need, and still tastes fantastic! Also: I use about 1/3 cup of Hemp seeds and 3 cups of water, high-speed blended, as my plant-based "milk", not soy milk, to increase omega-3s. ruclips.net/video/o-LBPlHp0JI/видео.html Love you videos, Chels! Thank you so much!!! 💖
This is truly amazing! I promise, since I've started to follow you i feel like you brought light into my life. You are literally covering all my unanswered questions about food, weight loss, nutrition. I've been watching a lot of videos on these subjects but i always had the feeling I've been listening to the same speech but from different people and that ive been spinning in circles. Even their meals are copy-pasted and if you're trying to eat like them, if they are promoting weight loss, you will might end up gaining weight because you are probably not doing as much sport as they do, or your metabolism just reacts differently from theirs...or as you said in one of your previous videos, you are trying to cook all these fancy meals but that's not really sustainable, therefore you are not consistent and you end up ordering food cause you're just too tired to think of a new recipe, get all the fancy addition and ten cook it. I did have the same question, how often do fit people eat desert? How can i find the balance? Never heard anyone talking about this before. Anyway, i basically wanted to let you know you are being appreciated.
Kia ora Chelsea. Greetings from a WFPB sister in Te Waipounamu. Great video! I bought Jill Dalton's cookbook and looove her brownies. They are made with wholefoods and the base is chickpeas.
I had never considered why I do not like to measure things out. But after hearing you talk about it I am nodding my head in agreement. It all makes sense now :)
I'm new here, on the lossing some weight train. Liked your honesty. Subscribed. How long will this last and best way to keep. Thanks for sharing. P.S. Recipie looks YUMMY! EXTRA P.S. My downfall is sweets. So I won't be able to eliminate them 100% at first. But at least I'll be downsizing, healthier etc. I'll be backwards, so to speak. Keep eating them the healthiest way Possible, in less amounts and go DOWN. Can't do zero at the beginning then add. It will take longer, but I'm in no rush. Also know if you loose weight to fast.... flabby town all over. BTY, I do need measurements 😉
It took me a few videos to figure out why you crumple the parchment paper. 😁 Now I do it too! ☺️ I would eat that dessert in one sitting. Love how dense and chocolatey it is.
Before I clicked on this, I thought you were doing your own version of 'A Big Man's World" brownies. They call for sweet potato, and stirring in cocoa powder to the potato, and then putting a nut butter of your choice into a cup, add maple syrup to it and microwave until pourable, add to the mixture in the bowl. It is here that I deviate and stir in some plant-based chocolate chips and it doesn't call for flour of any kind, but it does need some. So I add ground oats to it for structure. Otherwise they're delectably gooey and taste like a brownie and fudge had a baby 🤣🤣🤣 I'll try this version as it looks pretty darn tasty 😋😋😋
@@js-pb2kf I've made it twice, but that was years ago. Working on removing weight and this version is one of those 'once-in-a-blue-moon' experience. Because of covid, I have no one to pass them off to so I don't make it. Instead, I sub in oatmeal, cocoa powder, vanilla paste and coconut extract along with a bit of maple syrup for actual sweetness. I add hot water from my Keurig and let the oats soak up the ingredients. To my tastebuds, it reminds me of the chocolate haystacks my Grandma used to make. Hits the spot at the time 😋😉😏
This looks great but like you said in the video... I still wouldn’t be able to control myself and I’d eat too much of it. That’s what happened with a cookie recipe you shared! I finished all myself in 1-2 days.
I can’t wait to try this brownie recipe ‼️It will be after I finish losing the last 10 lbs 😊I’m going to scale down the recipe because I’m the only one who will be eating it😊 I’ll make it in a bread pan and cut up and freeze so I can eat it occasionally 😊
I find that because it comes on a roll it doesn’t lay flat. I usually fold it, but crumpling is a little quicker and helps it fit the shape of the pan. You could buy sheets instead of a roll. We’ll see what Chelsea says. Cheers!
Right on. I do not follow recipes as much I just guess.... I think I would make a really tiny one because I don't have kids so if I need a treat I could do a mini version but mostly don't do that I mostly just skip those characters are to have a piece of fresh fruit but still that is fun and the video is really well-made your oldest daughter is getting really tall! I hope she feels better
That brownie looks the bomb 💣. But I can’t eat anything like that at the moment, I’m endeavouring to get into a deficit. But I’m saving your recipe ✍️ 🥰
I put all the ingredients into my app to just look at what the calories would be and it really isn't that bad. My big loaf cut into 18 pieces and worked out to about 150 calories a piece and the pieces were quite large because I had a lot of sweet potato in my batch LOL. Not bad at all and I didn't use chocolate on top of half but on the other half I did for my husband :-)
Fantastic healthy brownies without the oil video Chelsea. There's no such thing as too much chocolate as far as I am concerned. Love 🥰the video and love 💕💞Chelsea & 👪.
The cupcake setting?? There is a cupcake setting?😂😂 i am from the Netherlands and i have never ever saw or heard of a cupcake setting on a oven🤣 That’s so funny to me!!♥️🌱✨
I would eat dessert (literally candy lol) everyday and lost weight. Is that the most healthful thing to do? Nope lol..but as long as you’re in a deficit you will lose weight. I can’t strike treats out completely because for me, it will lead me to a binge. Definitely want to try these brownies though :)
Measurements are the reason that I don't bake very often. I think baking involves science and measurements and I can't hold myself to that standard! LOL

As a mental health professional, I thought the same 💗
With the dates and sweet potato, it will probably be sweet enough for me.
Is this the perfect video? Possibly. The gold cape moment was so joyful.

I never measure either... learned this from mother! I never use Mejool dates either, just regular ones. I really love your positive vibes!
Aww thank you!
Brownies are my favorite then any cobbler.
Need to gain weight, had 3 pieces but used whole almonds and added frozen raspberries for the crunch and texture. Topped with walnuts and was delicious. Thanks.
Your kid has such great interoception skills!!!
Applesauce subs well for oil .......tastes good too!😁
Microwave cake recipe:

Pack of stevia and cinnamon if you want

Microwave 1.5 minutes
You’re not the only one here !!!
My problem is, I would eat the whole pan. I can’t have things like that in my house. 😞
I swear I don’t know why I watch videos like this either, because I’ve got diabetes, and if I made something like this I’d eat the lot too🤭😏😩
@@debrajessen7975
Yes, I would never make or eat something like this. I’m not overweight but I choose to eat healthy.

OMG ! GENIUS! WHY didn't I think of this myself??? (thankyouuuuu)
I’m addicted to your channel-I know all this stuff but such good reminders and point of view - thank you for sharing:)
Whittaker’s ❤️❤️😋 I brought 5 bars home from NZ when I visited in 2019. My sister ships it to me as well. 😁
I microwave my potatoes for 5 minutes and bake for 30-40 minutes on 400F❤
Wow! Looks amazing and satiating.
Dr Greger has a brownie recipe with beans. Heck, I could probably combine the two recipes and eat that for dinner for a week.
Hahahaha I love this!
Thank You...... this is the best brownie deb i have ever slept ..................................
Just found you last week surfing
I am hooked you have amazing advice and recipes keep them coming
looks yummy perfect for a desert
Looks so good! Definitely was to try it. Your girls are just the cutest!! ❤️ Thank you!
If you are still trying to loose the stubborn fat then watch first from minute 13:00 and pay particular attention at around 14:30, if you reached your weight goal already then have fun and enjoy your sweet potato brownie.

What's your view on using stevia/erythritol as a sweetner.
Thx😊

Aww yay! Lemme know what you think when you try them!
Yes yes yes. I'm an excellent cook and trained as well and I rarely use recipes or measurements 😜 not weird at all
hahaha i wish i had a cupcake setting, how cute
I am definitely gonna try this!!!
I have to try these, they look delicious!💜
Making this today keen to see how to it tastes ❤️❤️
I'm not vegan but I'm dairy and gluten free, so this recipe is amazing. I will try it.
Thanks so much for this. Try the purple sweet potatoes, they already taste like brownies!
Kia ora Chelsea. Greetings from a WFPB sister in Te Waipounamu. Great video! I bought Jill Dalton's cookbook and looove her brownies. They are made with wholefoods and the base is chickpeas.
Oats and pitted dates. I'm adding those to my grocery list. Love it! I have the rest.
Yayyy!! Lemme know what you think when you try them!
I had never considered why I do not like to measure things out. But after hearing you talk about it I am nodding my head in agreement. It all makes sense now :)
Haha!! Its more playful and fun that way!
Loved this style of video, Chels!

I usually do this in a mug. Found a recipe called 2 min brownie i think. I changed the recipe a little bit but its kind of the same as this 👍👍
Look amazing . Given calorie deficit is the goal would be good to know approx calories per serve. What about a single serve mug cake recipe ?

They look pretty tasty. Black bean brownies can be good too, but I haven't tried them sugar free as of yet.
This recipe is so similar to Deliciously Ellas Sweet Potato Brownie recipe!
Love the recipe!
I’m always looking for healthier alternatives for my kids that are whole food! ❤️

Looks so good
Looked nice and dense. I'm sensitive to soy. What other dairy free milk do you think would work best with your recipe? Peace and Blessings! ❤️
Where can you get date paste from?
Oh no the audio cuts out:(
You need a touch of vanilla and salt
Omg that looks delicious!!
Thx for this!!
Surely almond meal is higher in calories than just wholemeal flour?
Fantastic healthy brownies without the oil video Chelsea. There's no such thing as too much chocolate as far as I am concerned. Love 🥰the video and love 💕💞Chelsea & 👪.
Aww thank you !!
I wonder if I can use white sweet potatoes, cause that’s all I have…?
Looks great! I'm going to try it :)
I needed that this weekend. Maybe I could have resisted that cashew dark chocolat vegan ice cream….😂
This would be the perfect replacement!
Would it be okay to use almond milk instead? That’s all I have
Can I use coconut flour instead?
Not familiar with datepaste, do you have to make it or can you buy it.
You can do either or. I found date paste in Bin Inn but there are several recipes online and it’s supposed to be very easy
@@kerenkirk4570 thanks
It would be helpful if there was a printable recipe
Yummy
The cupcake setting?? There is a cupcake setting?😂😂 i am from the Netherlands and i have never ever saw or heard of a cupcake setting on a oven🤣 That’s so funny to me!!♥️🌱✨
Please help am out if dates and sweet potatoes, can i modify or i need wait to i go shopping sunday😢
So is it bad to eat the whole pan?
Your not the only one, I don't like to use measurements.
I think this is a great healthy treat but not ideal for weight loss as its still fairly calorically dense due to the dates
Omg I need this in my life! 😻
Looks so good 😋🙌🏼
Bake for 45 min. @ what temp.?
I'm so tempted to NOT prick sweet potato and cook just to see it explode 😜 i want exploding sweet potato 🤯 that bit made me laugh!!
I would eat dessert (literally candy lol) everyday and lost weight. Is that the most healthful thing to do? Nope lol..but as long as you’re in a deficit you will lose weight. I can’t strike treats out completely because for me, it will lead me to a binge. Definitely want to try these brownies though :)
Measurements are the reason that I don't bake very often. I think baking involves science and measurements and I can't hold myself to that standard! LOL
hahahaha
I’ve never seen an oven with a cupcake setting, or any little pictures for that matter 😂 must be a New Zealand thing…heehee
Ha! Must be!
What temp. Setting is “cupcakes”? That is a new setting older models do not have.
I just learn that secret after all theses years. Crumple the parchment paper. 🙄😂
