Sweet Magic

Give yourself some sweetness in all the ways. Self care is a creative work in progress…

Care for your whole self begins with being kind in your mind & practicing holding yourself with compassion and empathy just as you would your child or dear friend.

Stay curious about how your thoughts drive emotion, this can help you stay out of judgment against yourself and align with more sweetness instead.

Here’s a sweet, delicious, healthy way to sweeten up your day:

 

MAGIC BARS

*a delightful alternative to the sugary, sweetened condensed milk version of this classic

1/4 C melted coconut oil

1 (15 oz) can of white beans, drained & rinsed (use cannellini, navy, or great northern)

1/2 C tahini

2 eggs 

1/2 C light brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

1 C semi sweet chocolate chips 

1/4  unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 toasted, chopped pecans

 

use a 9 or 10 inch baking dish, greased with coconut oil spray or butter & preheat oven to 350

Blend the melted coconut oil, white beans, tahini, eggs, sugar, vanilla, baking powder and salt in a food processor until totally smooth.

Take out the blade and add  1/4 of the chocolate chips to the mix and gently blend by hand.

Pour the mixture in the greased pan and add the remaining ingredients, sprinkling them over the top.

Use a spatula or small plate to lightly press toppings down into the batter a little.

Bake for 40 mins or until the cake is springy in the middle when pressed.

Allow to cool completely so it sets.

*make it vegan by substituting 2 eggs with a flax egg:  Mix 2 Tbls ground flax meal, with 5 Tbls room temp water.

 

Enjoy! And share your sweetness…🧡
