Quick and Healthy Brownies

                                                 
Welcome to another blog post! I thought I would write about something different, specifically a new recipe that I tried recently. These healthy brownies were way too delicious not to share! They taste exactly like normal brownies, but they have secret ingredients like avocado and pumpkin that make them much more nutritious and a healthier option for you. Plus, the coconut flour used makes these brownies have a lot less carbs (perfect for those eating keto or diabetics like me)

Ingredients

-1 cup pumpkin puree
-2 small avocados
-4 eggs
-2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup honey
1/2 tsp salt
-3 tsp. baking soda
-6 tbsp. coconut flour
-4 tbsp. liquid cooking oil
-2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 by 13 in. with liners or oil.
  2. Combine all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor, except for the chocolate chips.
  3. Blend all the ingredients until smooth. May need to scrape the sides down to ensure complete blending.
  4. Fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  5. Fill pan with batter and top remaining chocolate chips
  6. Bake for 15 min. and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. 

ENJOY!

Tips:
*You may have chunks of avocado, so make sure you blend the batter really well.
*These are nice and gooey so you may want to chill them in the freezer before you cut them.

December Favorites

I am so excited about this post because it is all about my current favorite things: fashion, beauty, books, ect.  Basically I am going to be sharing anything that actually made my life 100 times better in the past month. I personally love watching Youtube videos and reading blog posts about other people's favorites of the month, so I am excited to share my own. Fashion Patagonia Coat If you know me well, you know that I absolutely hate wearing coats. I just find them too bulky and most of the coats that I've tried are too short on me so whatever outfit I'm wearing peeks out from underneath and just does not look flattering. I tried on this coat when I was Christmas shopping with my mom and fell in love! It is the perfect thickness and is long enough to cover your whole body. I personally think it is super cute and neutral so it looks good with anything that you wear. Skin Care Green face wash I have tried so many c...

Fall Favorites 2019

Fall is here in full swing and I'm so happy. It's my favorite season! There is just something that I love about the cool crisp air, transitioning to warm drinks, and of course the wardrobe changes. Just wanted to quickly share some items I've been loving and have had my eye on for this fall! Beauty  Mario Badescu Lip Balm: My first favorite is one that I recommend over everything. I am so obsessed with this lip balm. It's perfect for during the day and if you're on the go. You don't have to reapply that often and it is so affordable for a high end lip balm. Only $7 from Ulta! Olehenriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask This mask is hands down the best face mask I have ever used. It is on the pricier side, but it is so worth the money because of how clean your skin feels afterwards. It removes all the gunk from your pores and leaves you feeling so refreshed. Another perk is that the mask is bright blue! Anthropologie Vanilla Perfume:  T...

About Me

Hi, I'm Abbi and welcome to my blog! I’m from Fort Wayne, Indiana and am 21 years old.   I am currently a senior in college and am working towards being a wellness coach and personal trainer, and am majoring in recreation administration. The most important things in my life are my family, friends, wonderful boyfriend, and my faith.  Another thing I should mention is that I have been a Type One Diabetic since I was 14.   The disease is a part of my everyday life, and although it has brought many challenges, I have learned about myself and grown so much because of it. People tend to assume that I can't have sugar or sweets because of my disease, but that isn't the case at all.  Over the years, I  have learned to find a balance between staying healthy and still enjoying my life. I guess that's the sweet spot, and how I came up with the name of my blog.  ...
