1 1/2 cups white beans, cooked or canned (rinsed and drained)
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup oat flour, gluten-free
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS
MAPLE PECAN GLAZE:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth and creamy.
BLONDIES:
- Preheat the oven to 350 and line a 9-inch square dish with parchment paper. Process the white beans, coconut oil, and vanilla in a large processor until relatively smooth. Add in the coconut sugar, oat flour, salt, baking soda and vinegar and blend until until a smooth batter is formed. Add in the pecans and pulse briefly until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the lined baking dish and use a spatula to smooth the top. Bake at 350F until the top begins to crack, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving. Top with the Maple Pecan Glaze just before serving, along with an additional sprinkling of crushed pecans, if desired.

INGREDIENTS 36 Oreo cookies (1 standard package) 8 oz. cream cheese 12 oz. orange candy melts Black icing INSTRUCTIONS Use a food processor to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs. If you don’t have one, place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and dough-like. Roll the mixture into small balls and palace on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate or freeze the balls for at least 20-30 minutes until firm. Melt the candy melts and dip each Oreo ball, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift and let excess drip off. Place the coated truffle balls back onto the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, draw on black “basketball” lines with icing. Refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes or until set.
