There is an opinion that healthy eating and sweets are incompatible things. Let’s dispel this myth and prepare delicious and healthy diet pastries for all supporters of proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – health cubes pie. The most important thing in diet baking is to exclude refined sugar. Use dried fruits – dried apricots, prunes, raisins and dates. You can also add some organic syrup (eg Jerusalem artichoke, maple, blueberry or honey).
When choosing flour, give preference to gluten-free varieties, use mixtures of corn, rye, sesame, oat products. It is allowed to use white flour from durum wheat. You will need oil for baking. It is best to use a coconut product. This oil has a completely neutral taste and is recommended for dietary nutrition. You can buy it in large supermarkets or organic food stores.
For the chocolate flavor, we used carob cocoa. This popular superfood is sold online. Can be substituted for cocoa powder. For additional flavor, you can use coconut flakes, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla, or lemon zest. Additionally, any seeds or nuts are added to the dough.
