Take that carbs! Beat bread cravings with these delish, guilt-free recipes
Probably one of the hardest parts of being healthy is swearing off bread. Even just typing the word bread makes us really really want some bread.
But thankfully, there's an easy way of over-coming this craving and that is by making your own guilt free bread.
This way you can still satisfy the bread craving, without any of the nasty ingredients that cause bloating and weight gain.
The great thing about these breads is there are a few reoccurring ingredients, so once you buy them you will have plenty of use for them.
For all of the recipes below, feel free to add your favourite nuts or seeds to give them an extra crunch.
1. Banana bread
- 4 mashed bananas
- 4 eggs
- 140g almond butter
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 75g cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of sea salt
This one is our personal favourite as it satisfies your craving for bread and for something sweet all at the same time.
All you have to do is combine your bananas, eggs, almond butter and coconut oil and mix them extremely well. Then simply add in your coconut flour and the remainder of the ingredients. Put the mix into a bread tin and bake for 50-55 minutes on 180C.
2. Sweet potato bread
- 300g of cooked sweet potato
- 110g of coconut flour
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons of coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Juice of half a lemon
- Pinch of salt
This recipe is quick and easy so we love it! It feels like you are really indulging but it's extremely nutritious.
Once you have cooked the sweet potato, combine it with all of the other ingredients and pre heat your oven to 180C. Bake in the oven for 40 minute, then for a further 20 minutes while covered in tin foil.
3. Yoghurt and oat bread
- 1 large tub of low fat natural yogurt (500 ml)
- 2 tubs of fine porridge oats
- 2 tsp of bread soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Fat Free Milk
This is another seriously food-proof recipe which we love.
For this one, simply place bread soda salt, and the yoghurt into a mixing bowl. You can then you the tub from the yoghurt to measure out two full tubs of porridge oats to add to the bowl and stir it all together thoroughly. Add beaten egg and milk and it's good to go. Bake at 180C for 50 minutes.
