Sunflower Butter Squash Brownies

• 1 Egg

• 1 Cup Sunbutter, smooth or chunky

• ½ Cup Coconut Nectar

• ½ Tsp. Baking Soda

• ½ Cup cooked butternut squash or zucchini

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 square pan with coconut oil and set aside. In a bowl, beat the egg with a whisk and then add the sunflower butter and coconut nectar. Beat until smooth. Add the baking soda and squash and whisk until mixed. Pour into pan and bake 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Lime Coconut Bars

• ¾ Cup Organic Coconut Oil

• 2 Cups Unsweetened Coconut Shreds

• 3 Tbsp. Maple Syrup

• 1 Tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract

• 20 Drops DoTerra Essential Oils

• 1 Tsp. Sea Salt

Add all ingredients to food processer, and thoroughly mix as needed. Once the mix is well blended, flatten on to a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Freeze the bars for 1-2 hours until firm. Once hard, cut into bars and enjoy.

Date Balls

• 2 Cups Pitted Dates

• 1 Cup unsweetened Coconut Flakes

• 2 Tbsp unsweetened Cocoa Powder

• 2 Tbsp water

Put dates, water, cocoa powder and ½ cup of coconut flakes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade (reserve the remaining ½ cup of coconut flakes for coating the truffles). Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the food processor. Process for 4 more minutes, or until the mixture forms into a ball. If it hasn’t formed into ball or turned into a smooth paste, add more water 1 tbsp at a time and process some more until it does. Put the remaining ½ cup of coconut flakes on a large plate.

Line another large plate with parchment paper. Take 1 tbsp of date mixture from the food processor and roll with your hands into a ball. Put the ball on a plate with coconut flakes, and roll, pressing slightly, so it’s coated with coconut flakes all over. Put the truffle on parchment paper. Repeat with remaining date mixture.
