Homemade Date Syrup

As of today, Eric and I just finished the Whole 30. If you saw some of my posts here, you could see we did cheat/were pretty relaxed about it this time around. Since this is about our fourth or fifth time doing the Whole 30, we felt confident and okay with our, “cheat” choices. If it is your first time doing it though, don’t cheat! Do the entire experience to it’s fullest. 😉

One thing I have loved including in recipes throughout the Whole 30 (and beyond) that just flat out need a little sweetness, is date syrup. It is so easy to make and definitely adds a sweet replacement in recipes. Anything with two ingredients and tastes this good? Sign me up!

Clean-eating Blondies

Clean-eating Blondies--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.comOur weekend was slow and so relaxing to gear up for a busy week ahead. After church, I whipped up a batch of these clean-eating blondies and just might have to make another for Wednesday (a-hem Valentine’s Day) to keep all my other chocolate cravings at bay. They are quick to make and deeeee–licious! You will not be disappointed with this recipe and no one will even know they are a, “clean” recipe. Clean-eating Blondies--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com Clean-eating Blondies--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com Clean-eating Blondies--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com Clean-eating Blondies--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup of coconut palm sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips


What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, mix all ingredients except the chocolate chips. Then, fold in the chocolate chips. The batter will be somewhat sticky and thick. That’s okay! Pour into the pan and evenly spread with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden dark brown. Let brownies cool for about 10 minutes before cutting.

I’ll keep this short and sweet today. Remember my healthy pumpkin bread recipe from the other week? This bread contains the same basic ingredients, remains healthy with every bite, is still served best with a side of milk or coffee, and only requires swapping out a few ingredients. It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3 and can be served as breakfast or a snack for the entire family. What more could you want? 😉

  • 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup organic coconut palm sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon


What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large-sized bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Stir together and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl combine all wet ingredients and whisk.
