White Chocolate and Berry Blondies Recipe

Published on by emilygetsstrongLeave a comment

These blondies take inspiration from a recipe card that I received with some Sukrin products last Christmas. Unfortunately, the exact recipe is no longer on the Sukrin website so I tried to create my own with the addition of protein powder to give that extra boost of protein. I hope you enjoy and tag me if you try the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 90g butter or oil (I used Flora light)
  • 75g sweetener (I used 50g Sukrin gold, 25g Natvia)
  • 1 medium egg
  • 110g almond flour (I used Sukrin)
  • 20g protein powder (whey – MyProtein, pea – MissFits)
  • 25ml semi-skimmed milk
  • Chocolate chips and dried fruit (I used 2 packets of Whitworth shots)

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
  2. Grease the tin in preparation
  3. Melt the butter
  4. Add the sweetener to the melted butter
  5. Beat the egg into the mixture
  6. Mix in the almond flour and whey protein powder
  7. Add the milk to form a batter consistency
  8. Add the chocolate chips and dried fruit
  9. Pour the mixture into your tin
  10. Bake to approximately 15-18 mins (do the knife test init)

Fit Bakes Review

Published on by emilygetsstrongLeave a comment

Fit Bakes kindly sent me one of their selection boxes to try. Often lower calorie cakes can taste awful so I thought I would write a review of what I thought…

Wholemeal Carrot Cakes

The cakes were very moist (I’m sorry for using that word) but almost slightly too much so. The taste was delicious which the perfect amount of cinnamon. I really enjoyed the filling.

7/10

Blueberry Cakes

I really liked the flavour but the texture was just too heavy and stodgy for me. Although I say this, it didn’t stop me from finishing the whole pack.

5/10

 

Lemon Drizzle Cakes

I saved these until last to try because lemon drizzle cake doesn’t feel me with excitement like other cake does! These cakes had a perfectly soft texture and the balance of lemon was spot on. I think these were actually one of my favourite – I’m a convert!

9/10

 

Apple and Cinnamon Cakes

Again, these cakes had a really nice texture with pieces of apple in. I would definitely buy these in future as they were delicious.

9/10

 

Sweet Potato Brownies

You can taste the sweet potato in these brownies but they have been executed very well. They are very fudgy and chocolatey – the perfect to satisfy a sweet tooth!

8/10

 

Citrus Fudge

I really enjoyed the citrus fudge as the citrus flavour wasn’t too overpowering. The texture of the fudge was smooth and easy to eat – no jaw ache here!

9/10

 

Overall, I was really impressed by the products from Fit Bakes. My favourites were the apple and cinnamon cakes and the lemon drizzle cakes. Fit Bakes are available to buy here.
