Gooey Triple Chocolate Loaf!

I'm baaaaaaaaack!!! This time with a .com on the end of this fancy ol' url. It's been a while.. six months to be exact! And I have missed you. Like a lot. But the break I had was exactly what I needed to get clear on exactly what I want to do with this blog and where I'm headed..

But that's a totally different post altogether! One that requires a bit more thinking + breathing space.

So today I've got a DELECTABLE recipe for you. One I made several weeks ago that I swear I still dream about.

Choc-addicts, you're in for a.. heart attack!

But do we care?! DO WE EVEN CARE!?!?!

Not when it comes to this gooooooey triple choc loaf recipe I scored from The Londoner!! Altered to my liking of course ;)

But before we even get into it, I have to admit, I didn't even know chocolate loaves were a 'thing'. And when I told my colleagues about it, neither did they. Hrmph!

Those brits. They know how to do it differently I tell ya!


Ingredients

• 180g room temp butter
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup gluten free self-raising flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate melts
• 1/2 cup white chocolate melts

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 150c, then beat the butter and sugar until light & fluffy then stir in your eggs with flour, baking powder, cocoa, and milk.

Mix in your chocolate melts with the batter and stir until evenly distributed. Pour batter into a loaf tin then place in the oven for 45 minutes and then let the chocolate aroma waft through the house.

Once baked, take out of oven and place on a wire rack. Eat as you please. :)



Okay, I've got another confession to make.. My chocolate melts sank to the bottom of the tin because I melted the butter too much. Make sure you don't do this if you want the chocolate distributed evenly. On the other hand the loaf sort of became an upside down chocolate cake and it was still 1000% DELICIOUS!

Two Ingredient Gluten Free Pancakes

I've discovered I really like gluten free recipes. Every time I've tried a gluten free dish either at a work conference or when it's the only option at the cafe because the lunch time rush has cleared all the yum foods, I've never been disappointed. The food is so tasty, but leaves you feeling without the uneasy feeling in your stomach.

Ingredients

- 1 ripe banana
- 2 whole eggs

- blueberries (optional)

Directions

Blend & pour the batter onto your pan. That's it! If you don't have a blender, mash the banana as much as you like - you can have chunks of banana - add blueberries, or whatever extras you'd like included in your pancake batch. Use coconut oil on your pan on a medium heat setting, leave for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on your stove, flip and serve!

So ridiculously simple, you'll wonder why you never knew about these before today! Fastest esiest breakfast recipe EVER!

Have you tried 2 ingredient pancakes before? What other cheat recipes do you cook?
