'Waste-Not-Want-Not' Using Low-Carb Lo-Dough
When you see bananas going brown, don't throw them away - put them into your freezer and then use them for banana bread. As a country, it is now well understood that our food waste issue is a huge and mounting problem - use Lo-Dough to help you avoid throwing away that one black looking banana at the end of the bunch!
Using Lo-Dough as a baking ingredient is incredibly easy to use - just whizz up the Lo-Dough in a food processor / nutri-bullet and turn it into a fine, fluffy powder. Add 100g of fruit, a teaspoon of sweetener, a small egg and you have the basic recipe right there. A tablespoon of peanut butter is a great addition, or the same amount of yoghurt or creme fraiche would work just as well. Experiment with your favourite fruits and flavourings.
Ingredients
- 1 piece of
Lo-Dough , blitzed to fine crumbs - 1 frozen banana, taken out to defrost for a couple of hours (or overnight in the fridge) and then peeled
- 2 tablespoons of PBfit, made up with water as per instructions (or any peanut butter of your choice)
