<p>My friends birthday is coming up and she wants me to make her super healthy brownies. I'm trying to make them as paleo as possible, but I want to make sure she loves them. She loves dark chocolate. If I make her anything, it has to include dark chocolate. She's allergic to coconut. I was thinking about these ingredients.. Ingredients 3 Cubes dark chocolate 1 Banana 1 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder 6 egg whites 1.5 tbs baking soda 1.5 tbs extra virgin olive oil 1 tbs cinnamon 2 tbs almond milk 1 tbs honey</p> <p>Would this actually make brownies? How many? (I want them to bake 10 or more) I also have no idea how to bake this..Help please? And please dont comment any recipes unless they contain only these ingredients. I tried yahoo answers earlier, that was such a mistake.:P</p> <p>Thank you!!!</p>

<p>Check www.paleoomg.com and www.fastpaleo.com to look for tried and true recipes (and read the comments to see what other people thought, too!)-- that usually works out best for me as baking is science-based, so the ratios and cooking times need to be spot on or you've got a gloppy mess or dried out nastiness. </p> <p>I make these: www.livefabuLESS.com/brownie-bites If nuts are okay (not coconut, but nuts) these are the BOMB-- and they require no baking (take about 3 minutes to make-- and my entire family LOVES them!)</p>

<p><em><strong>Ingredients 3 Cubes dark chocolate 1 Banana 1 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder 6 egg whites 1.5 tbs baking soda 1.5 tbs extra virgin olive oil 1 tbs cinnamon 2 tbs almond milk 1 tbs honey</em></strong></p> <p>That will make a rather horrifying omelet like creation.</p> <p>Brownies need the right body, or they are just not brownies. You can't go from wheat-based brownies to egg and still call the concoction "brownies" - you need to add a nut flour or starch of some kind in there. I'm imagining a child eating what you described, taking a bite, looking at you to see if you are tricking her or him, and then crying as they realize there are no brownies, just a sad, brown pancake that tastes vaguely of eggs, tears, and a fleeting childhood.</p> <p>Furthermore, brownies often have frosting, which frankly would take this recipe to the edge of paleo-ified desserts, and well into "faileo". You can probably get away with topping the main brownie body with dark chocolate squares, ideally slightly melted.</p> <p>If you're going to make a paleo-ified dessert, checkout a site like <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elanaspantry.com/</a> , find a recipe that sounds like what you want, but replace any suggestion of coconut{oil, flour, milk, meat, or sugar} with butter, almond flour, cow/goat milk, and any other sweetener. Search google for sugar to {honey, agave, molasses} conversion ratios.</p>

<p>I would make a flourless brownie recipe such as Nigella Lawson's recipe: <a href="http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/flourless-chocolate-brownies" rel="nofollow">http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/flourless-chocolate-brownies</a></p> <p>It is basically chocolate, sugar, butter and eggs (plus nuts if wanted). I don't know what would make a brownie "healthy" to your friend - is she paleo? If she isn't paleo and healthy to her means low fat (seeing that you included egg whites) I would go with a gluten free brownie mix and exchange eggs for egg whites. Gluten Free Pantry is a really tasty brand. When it comes to cooking and baking for others, I just try to make what they want, and keep the paleoish needs out of it and skip having a piece myself if I find the ingredients egregious. Especially for a birthday cake type item - it should be special for your friend and not a time to push paleo, unless she is into it. </p>

<p>I have made these from Fast Paleo before and they are amazing! Only change I made was to add 2 TBSP of 100% cocoa powder to the mix and I used a few 90% dark chocolate bars that I "chipped" up myself. They were better than any "normal" brownie I ever had. </p> <p><a href="http://fastpaleo.com/zucchini-brownies/" rel="nofollow">http://fastpaleo.com/zucchini-brownies/</a></p>

<p>No matter if it is paleo, if it is a brownie or tastes anteing like one, it is not healthy. This is akin to "healthy whole wheat."</p>

<p>Simple and I swear these taste good and made them waaaaay before I was paleo just because they are really good. I do them in ramekins or muffin tins, so not exactly "brownies" but little lava cakes that are birthday-friendly. Taste a lot like a brownie though.</p> <p>-4 eggs</p> <p>Whip to 3x volume (yolk and white)</p> <p>-8 oz chocolate</p> <p>-1/4 c butter</p> <p>-1/4-1/2 c sugar</p> <p>melted over a double boiler. whisk.</p> <p>Fold chocolate mix into egg froth. Immediately pour in ramekins and put in 375-400 degree oven. Should only take 8ish minutes. Pop out when still gooey in the middle if you want lava cakes, keep cooking for a bit if you want brownies.</p>

<p>Unsolicited response, but here you go: if your friend isn't paleo, just make her the damn brownies with flour and sugar. It's her birthday. No one deserves to eat faileo on their birthday. </p>
