While being locked indoors, some of us may feel the urge of creating our own sweet treats. Since many in my surroundings avoid the consumption of gluten and sugar, I keep experimenting with new recipes.

This week I managed to turn a recipe for a French chocolate cake into its low-carb and gluten-free version. It was a hit in terms of consistency and taste. What strikes me most though, was that I can turn a handful of ingredients into such a mouthwatering experience. Therefore, I have used gut-soothing ingredients only.

This recipe is free of:

• conventional sugar
• hydrogenized oils
• plain flour
• bakers yeast

Instead, I can use high-quality butter or ghee from grass-fed cattle, free-range eggs from the farmer's market, and fair-trade dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa.

This delicious brownie is loaded with fibers, polyphenols, good fat and clean protein.
