Black Forest Brownie Cake 🍒🤍🍫
The original recipe for this chocolate cherry brownie cake is by Radhi Devlukia-Shetty in her cookbook: “JoyFULL” (but we made a few tweaks based on ingredient availability at a friend’s house).

So I thought it would be fun to try her brownie cake recipe - It’s gluten free, egg free, dairy free, refined sugar free & vegan. And instead of stacking & “icing

Healthier Magic “Seven Layer” Cookie Bars
I recently dropped off some of our bakery’s gf/df/v goodies to The Panetteria, a local bakery that carries our stuff, and my daughter picked out a few of their things for our family to share - one of which was a Magic Bar, and boy did it tempt me - I LOVE magic bars (and really, ANYTHING coconut). So instead of “gluten-ing” myself and paying for one magical bite, I decided to dust off my recipe for a better-for-you version. This version is rich, gooey, and satisfying, just li
