Do you have a hard time cutting your sugar addiction? Maybe all you think about is sugar because your cravings are outta whack. I totally get you. I have a huge sweet tooth, but I also eat plenty of fiber and naturally sweet foods in place of white sugar. But if you do have a hard time with sugar cravings, it may be because of the bacteria in your gut. You see, bad bacteria in your gut feeds on sugar, so in turn you crave more sugar. But if you rid sugar from your body, the bad bacteria begins to starve and your cravings decrease.
The Elevated plan from Silver Fern Brand focuses on providing your body with probiotics to modify your metabolism. The probiotic tablets along with the Wai drink mix and fiber supplements can support the good bacteria in your gut. So why is this beneficial? Having more good bacteria in your body can :
- increase fat burn
- reduce inflammation
- reduce gas production
- prevent fat storage
- improve satiety
You can learn more about the Elevated Plan by Silver Fern here.
Now this doesn’t mean that you cut out all the sweet stuff from your diet (that would be sad), it just means you improvise with the ingredients that you use. For these muffins I used the Paka Double Chocolate brownie mix, which only has 2 net carbs and 3 grams of fat per serving along with 6 grams of fiber, and 0 grams of sugar. In fact, these Buckeye Brownie Banana Muffins contain no added sugar at all. Totally expectable on the Elevated plan.
You’d never guess that these decadent brownie muffins are a great high fiber snack or even breakfast treat. Yes, I said you can eat brownies for breakfast without having a sugar crash later. It’s your lucky day😉
These muffins are incredibly simple to make and only require 7 ingredients:
Paka Double Chocolate Brownie Mix
Bananas
Egg
Peanut butter
Coconut flour
Almond milk
Coconut oil

Brownie + banana + peanut butter = a combo that just cannot be delicious! I’m totally with you on sugar – I have a huge sweet tooth, but I try to focus on eating fruit & natural sugars too, and I limit my simple carbs & white sugar intake. It’s always a work in progress!
Ooohhhhh this looks CRAZY delish! I can’t wait to try. Thanks for sharing!

LOVE this. Sugar is definitely something that can be a very addictive, drug-like food that can cause TONS of problems for many people. I think that probiotics are absolutely incredible to incorporate–I’ve grown to love drinking kombucha more often too!
Do you know the nutritional info for these?
PROBIOTICS are my jam! I cannot live without them – so DEFINITELY checking out that product!!
These sound incredible!!
These look too good to be low carb! What a delightful way to eat something really tasty when trying to cut back on carbs! One question: Where do you find that low carb brownie mix?
You can find the mix here :https://goo.gl/gY8bd0
Thanks Maribeth!
Thanks!
I just need to find that low carb double brownie mix… Is there any substitute for it?
You could sub another brownie mix, but keep in mind the size of the mix!
Any way one could replaced mashed banana with unsweetened applesauce? Or half & half it with That? Half banana/half applesauce.??
We have more of that around than bananas in the house?? These look amazing & want to try!!
Yes that would work! Hope you enjoy 🙂
