Cooking Methods (Instructions) Focused for Weight Loss
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish with coconut oil.
2. In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth.
3. Slowly pour in the unsweetened coconut milk and mix until the batter is creamy and lump-free.
4. Chop the jackfruit into small pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
5. Pour the batter over the jackfruit, ensuring it covers the fruit evenly.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the clafoutis is set.

Weight Loss Tips & Advice

– Jackfruit is a natural sweetener and high in fiber, helping you feel fuller for longer.
– Swap refined sugar with kithul treacle or honey to lower the glycemic index and avoid blood sugar spikes.
