About me

I've changed my life around and now I am enjoying The Lighter Life. I love cooking and especially baking lovely desserts, but I wanna stay away from little no-no's like too much sugar and fat. I live in Belgium where the 'low-carb and low-fat movement' is just starting to begin so I found myself looking for recipes with easy to find ingredients and metric cooking measurements. Since they were hard to find, I decided to make my own! My desserts may never win beauty contests, for baking with bio ingredients will mostly give you flat cakes and pies. But lord will they win over your taste buds and still have you fitting into your skinny jeans. I invite you all to try out some recipes, adapt a couple where you see fit and above all, learn to enjoy the lovely taste of freshly baked, healthy goods.

Hazelnut Cookies

Ingredients:

2 large Eggs
150 gr butter
a tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp sweetener
120 gr Hazelnut Butter (you can use peanutbutter if you prefer)
1 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
40gr of Stevia dark chocolate chunks (try and find the one with the less carbs, I found mine in a bio shop)

Way to do it:

  1. Preheat over to 190 degrees C.
  2. Separate the whites from the yolks and beat the whites stiff. In the bowl with the yolks add the vanilla extract and butter.
  3. Add the sweetener and mix again.
  4. Add Peanut butter and mix till well combined.
  5. Add the baking powder and the salt. Then you add the chocolate chunks
  6. When your batter is done, gently fold in the egg whites. This will give your cookie it's height and yummyness
  7. Divide the dough evenly into about 15 little heaps of dough and place them on a cookie sheet. Make sure they are far enough apart because they will spread out a little. Bake for about 15 minutes at 190 C
Afterwards let them cool before you move them to a plate.


Depeding on how big you make them and which ingredients you use, this entire recipe contains about 20gr of carbs. So that's about 1,5 gr of carb per cookie!

Enjoy
xx
