Chocolate & Mixed Nut Tarte [Vegan and Gluten Free]

The crust is made from ground almonds, walnuts, pecans and oats.  Add in a bit of cocoa powder and sugar to make it delightful.

Press the crust into a tarte pan and bake for half an hour.  Allow to cool while preparing the filling.

Melt the chocolate - non-dairy dark chocolate - and add a slash of milk and coconut oil.  Once melted, stir in an assortment of roasted nuts.  I used cashews, pecans, pistachios and hazelnuts.  Finally top it with select nuts, coconut flakes and Himalayan pink salt.

Once it's chilled, it's ready to devour!

Chewy Peanut Butter & Honey Cookies

Peanut butter cookies with a twist.  The childhood treat of a peanut butter and honey sandwich is translated into these tasty treats.  Grinding the wheat gives a hearty, yet pleasing, whole grain flavour.  Using coconut oil, instead of butter makes this treat enjoyable for those with dairy allergy/intolerance.

They're a delight without embellishment, but the addition of peanut halves and fleur de sel just before baking creates a complex, salty-sweet taste sensation.
