1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Put all of the ingredients on the counter and separate them into 3 sections (bottom, middle, topping).
Use a 9-inch glass dish and coat with a little bit of coconut oil.
Put the bottom ingredients into a large bowl and mix until combined (nuts, graham crackers, coconut, cacao, butter, eggs, coconut sugar and vanilla).
Press bottom mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared dish. Chill in the fridge while preparing the middle layer.
Prepare the middle layer by beating the ingredients with a mixer on high speed until well combined; about 3 minutes (powdered sugar, butter, cornstarch, oat milk, vanilla, and salt)
Spread middle mixture evenly over the chilled bottom layer.
Now chill the 2 layered dish for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the topping by melting the chocolate in a double broiler or microwave bowl.
Stir the chocolate until smooth.
When done, you’re ready for the final layer. Spread the chocolate on top of the chilled dish.
Sprinkle the top with macadamia nuts.
Chill in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Spicy Spud Balls

These spicy spud balls are packed full of flavor with fresh herbs, spices, oats and red potatoes. They are incredibly delicious and nutritious with a nice crunchy outside. I’ve made many versions of balls and burgers using beans and grains but never potatoes. So why not try it! I can honestly say they were way better than I’d expected them to be and a big hit with my taste tester. We enjoyed eating them with pasta, salad and just by themselves with sauce.

Raspberry Jam Bars

This recipe is a one-bowl wonder that comes together in minutes and can be served warm, chilled or at room temp. Sweet, tart and gooey, these raspberry jam bars are a crowd pleaser!
While the top and bottom layers are made from the same batter, they bake up differently. The bottom is soft and chewy while the top is crisp and crunchy.
The bars can be enjoyed for breakfast with tea, for dessert or anytime you feel like treating yourself! *This recipe is so versatile. You can use different flours, nuts and jams. Experiment and mix it up!

It can be conjugated to the tune of the different ingredients you choose or have on hand.
