Bhai Dooj is a symbol of the undying love of brother and sister. On this day, all the sisters wish for the long life and happiness of their brother. After Diwali, it is another festival to indulge in desserts and sweets. However, if you’re tired of overindulging in sweets, we have got a few healthy dessert recipes that can be consumed without worrying about gaining weight.
So, here are 3 healthy dessert recipes for Bhai Dooj celebrations.
1. Peanut butter and chocolate brownie bar
Ingredients
Creamy Peanut Butter- 250 gm
Crushed Dark Chocolate- 200 gm
Flour- 100 gm
Brown Sugar- 300 gm
Method
1. Set aside 60 gm of each of the chocolate and creamy peanut butter. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius and use baking paper to line a 25 cm square baking pan. Stirring occasionally, slowly heat the remaining creamy peanut butter, chocolate, and sugar in a frying pan until the sugar is almost melted. The mixture should be re-settled into a dish to chill.
2. Pour pre-melted creamy peanut butter over the brownie after melting it in a frying pan or the microwave on medium for 1 minute. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top has a layer but the center appears slightly underbaked.
3. Spread pre-made chocolate over the brownie, melt it, and let it cool in the dish before cutting it into squares.

2 tbsp desiccated coconut
1 tsp Ghee
