Snooki's Rx For A Gluten-Free Dessert!

                               Eat Dessert Like Snooki

Nicole Polizzi, aka Snooki, just revealed her secret for losing
40 lbs. of post baby weight, her secrets: She lost some breastfeeding,
and the rest by following the hot new diet... The Gluten-free diet.
That's right, Ms. Polizzi, has ditched white bread, pasta, rice and all the
other foods that contain gluten.
Snooki also gave up dairy and hired a trainer.
If you're thinking of going gluten-free, remember to research it thoroughly
and look for recipes that are nutritious and are good tasting.
One such example: The following dessert loaf, was discovered by a member of
our research 
team and its quickly become a favorite. 
The cake is a banana-chocolate nut loaf and it's totally gluten-free.

2  cups of almond flour
3/4 cup xylitol
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup garbanzo-bean flour

2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda 

1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
3 large eggs (separated)
3/4 cup chopped chocolate dark choc. divided
Important tip: Garbanzo bean flour and xylitol may not be
available at your local supermarket, so go online and search or
head to your local health-food store.

The Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine first 7 ingredients and 1.4 tsp salt.
Stir in coconut oil, bananas, egg yolks, and 1/2 cup 

of chocolate.

Next, Using a mixer, beat egg whites for 2 mins. or until stiff peaks
form, and then gently fold into the batter.

And finish up by pouring the batter into a lined 9 inch x 5 inch pan
lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake at for about 40 to 45 mins.
(stick a knife in the center, to test if it's done)
Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 mins, and then remove it
from the pan. Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave,
and then drizzle it over the loaf and garnish with the walnuts.

That's it- a scrumptious and totally gluten-free dessert.
And remember- gluten-free doesn't mean calorie-free,
you still have to practice moderation.

Good Luck!
