A BBC Morning Live doctor says one easy-to-make brownie recipe is "packed with nutrients" and tastes good - meaning you can eat without worrying about how unhealthy it is. Talking about the delicious brownies from Dr Claire Bailey Mosley, the wife of the late Michael Mosley, host Gethin Jones said that there's a "secret ingredient" in them.
Speaking about the secret, Dr Bailey revealed it's aubergine, and said "it's a super easy way of cooking with the aubergine because you just would know it was there. I promise you, you will love it.". The doctor added that it's low in sugar, high in protein and makes up "one of your five a day" and "tastes fantastic." She explains: "The sweetness comes from mainly the dates and the great thing is yes, its sugar, but it's bound in fibre.
"So it means it releases the sugar slowly so you don't get a sugar hit. There's lots of lovely nutrients that go with it and fibre.". Gethin and Helen Skelton, who were keen to try the sweet treat, said that "snacking smartly is just one thing you can do today" with the 'just one thing' phrase loved by Dr Michael Mosley, who died last year. So to keep his passions alive, Doctor Claire Bailey shared yet more "guilt free treats.".
Saying "I will convert you, I am absolutely sure", Dr Bailey was glad to hear Dr Ranj Singh praise them for their health benefits. Dr Ranj explained: "The evidence around snacking is mixed. It depends on what you’re eating and when you’re eating. So go for healthy and earlier, generally speaking.
