These are so easy and incredibly yummy!

• 2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 3/4 cup honey
• 2 egg
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Stir all ingredients together. Drop by tablespoons onto a baking tray. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should be golden, yet still soft. Let cool on tray. Enjoy!

Cookie:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/4 cup honey granules (sugar)
1/3 cup cocoa
1 large egg, beaten
1  cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup  sweetened coconut (shredded or flaked)
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds

Peanut Butter Filling:
1/3 cup  butter, softened
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered honey granules (or confectioners’ sugar)

Chocolate Glaze:
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter

Directions
Line an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, with long flaps hanging over each edge.

For the cookie: Put the butter in a heatproof medium bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer over medium-low heat. Set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Once the butter is melted, add the honey granules and cocoa, and stir to combine. Add the egg and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until warm to the touch and slightly thickened (it should be about the consistency of hot fudge), about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in graham crumbs, coconut and nuts. Press the dough firmly into the prepared pan. (Save the pan of water for melting the chocolate.)

For the filling: Beat the butter, peanut butter and powdered honey granules together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light. Spread over the cookie and freeze while you prepare the chocolate glaze.

For the glaze: Put the chocolate chips and butter in a medium heatproof bowl, and set over the barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.  When cool but still runny, pour the chocolate layer over the chilled peanut butter layer and carefully smooth out with an offset spatula. Freeze 30 minutes.

To serve, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Pull out of the pan using the foil flaps and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife. Serve cool or at room temperature.

Muffins:

• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 cup honey granules (or sugar)
• 1 Tbs vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pinch of nutmeg

Cream the butter, applesauce, buttermilk, honey granules, vanilla and eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Line 16 muffins cups with paper liners. Pour the batter evenly into the cups.

Streusel:

• 3/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1 Tbs whole wheat flour
• 2 Tbs sucanat (or brown sugar)
• 1 Tbs cinnamon
• 1 Tbs butter, melted

Stir together the streusel ingredients. Top the muffins with the streusel and press it gently into the batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and edges are golden. Let cool for a few minutes before removing the muffins from the muffin tins. Serve warm (slathered with butter), or cooled. Either way they’re delicious!

Makes two pies

Pie Crust:

4 1/2 cups freshly milled flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 sticks cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 – 3/4 cup ice water

Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. (I use my stand up mixer.) Cut in the butter until crumbly. Pour in the water a few tablespoons at a time until the dough is very moist. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.

Filling:

11 cups apples, peeled and sliced (about 8 apples)
1 1/2 cups sucanat w/honey (or sugar)
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg (or allspice)
1/8 tsp salt

While the pie crust dough is chilling, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Add the apples and stir until evenly coated.

Divide the pie crust dough in half for the two pies. Divide each piece of dough so that 2/3 of the dough is for the base crust and 1/3 is for the top. Roll each base crust out into circles and place in 9″ pie pans. Fill with the apple filling. Top each pie with the reaming dough as desired. (I did a lattice top.) Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.

• 3 C oats
• 1 1/2 C flour
• 1 C sucanat with molasses (or brown sugar)
• 1 t baking soda
• 1 t cinnamon
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 sticks butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 t vanilla
• 1 C golden raisins

Mix dry ingredients, then add wet, folding in raisins last.  Bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
• 1/4 cup raw almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (or raw cacao powder)
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or agave nectar)
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• pinch fine grain sea salt, to taste
• 3/4 cup raw walnuts, roughly chopped

 Directions:

1. With electric beaters, beat together the coconut oil and almond butter.
2. Sift in the cocoa powder and beat again until combined.
3. Pour in the maple syrup, vanilla, and salt and beat until smooth (this will take a few minutes).
4. Stir in the walnuts.
5. Line a loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper. Scoop the chocolate mixture into the pan and spread out until even. I took another handful of walnuts, broke them up, and sprinkled over the top of the fudge for extra crunch and good looks.
6. Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour, or until solid. Slice into small squares and eat! Store in freezer.
