Nut Butter Dessert Cups

Nut Butter Dessert Cups

So now that we have established I am not a photographer, I can assure you these are delicious. In light of my recent posts on eating healthy fats, this is a great recipe that uses coconut oil to create that delicious dessert taste. I love this recipe because it helps to satisfy your sweet tooth so you don't feel like you are depriving yourself and it is relatively healthy--unless you eat the whole tray!

In a bowl mix:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup nut butter of your choice (I used sunflower butter)
Pinch of salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp maple syrup or to desired sweetness
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp carob powder or cocoa powder

Pour into miniature paper muffin cups. Then top with top with 1-2 chocolate or carob chips. Allow it to harden in freezer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Baked Beets with Cultured Coconut or Goat Cheese

The fact that my five-year-old daughter devoured this is a testament to how delicious this is. I peeled and cubed a bag of beets, placed them on a baking tray and baked them for 60 minutes.

Next I layered on coconut cream, but you can use yoghurt, goat cheese or cashew cheese and then top with sesame seeds and dried cranberries.

Who says vegetables are boring?
