| A traditional lamington. |
Cannellini beans are not a usual ingredient in the classic Australia Day dessert, the humble lamington, nor is rice malt syrup or coconut flour.
But don’t tell that to Australia’s clean eating sect who are feverishly trading healthy lamington recipes on social media.
And by healthy we really mean bizarre.

| A standard lamington. |
Lorna Jane philosophy blog Move Nourish Believe believes its lamington recipe is so good it’s worth sharing for the second year in a row.
The blog’s take on the humble sponge is made from a can of cannellini beans, eggs, baking powder, vanilla paste and maple syrup.
That’s right — no flour, no butter and no sugar.
Raw, vegan laningtons
On Freshwater cafe Bent Fork’s Instagram account, they’ve shared raw, vegan, dairy, grain and gluten free lamingtons available only today.
They’ve been getting rave reviews including Instagram user @zakwlsn who said “this is some seriously good stuff”.
Then there’s I Quit Sugar founder Sarah Wilson’s sugar-free lamingtons with rice malt syrup as sweetener.
I quit sugar, not lamingtons
Coconuts for coconut flour
Or There’s healthy chef Teresa Cutter’s version that uses coconut flour — which we can only presume is shredded coconut, shredded again.
But if all of that sounds a little too healthy for you, Donna Hay has an option that is as glutinous as it is unconventional — ice cream lamingtons.
