I enjoyed this on toast for breakfast this morning, quick and easy to make after soaking the dates overnight, the remainder is in a jar in the fridge:) I used cashew nut butter though, as I'm not nut free!

Love that! I've also used cashew butter! So good. Cashew butter is a great alternative to hazelnuts for this spread. So glad you enjoyed it.

Amber- you amaze me! These photographs are beautiful and now I'm drooling. I'm soaking sunflower seeds as we speak to try for reintroduction and if all goes well, I'd love to try this! The toast in the pic looks so good with it spread on, but I'm thinking it would be great spread on pears or apples....

This would be a great snack I would feel good about giving to my kids.
You've done it again! Thank you girl!

Oh Jen, I really hope SEEDS don't give you any trouble. And yes, this is great spread on apples. Like thinly sliced apples as a little sandwich! Good luck and let me know how the seed introduction goes. You're so sweet...I always love your comments.

I recently did a homemade Nutella too, great minds think alike ;) I love that yours is nut-free! And uses dates for sweetness. All goodness!

Hi Amber,

I've never had Nutella, but I'm so looking forward to trying this. I seriously just want to stick my whole head in that bowl. Do you think I could get away with pulling a Winnie the Pooh? :)
I hope you are feeling well! Does the changing of seasons seem to bother you? Every year as summer changes to fall/winter I seem to struggle. Nothing major yet, but I'm definitely more achy than normal.
I hope you guys are doing well.

Ha ha! I was eating this with my fingers, like sloping it up. I kept looking around the house and making sure my kids could not see me.
I've made healthy homemade Nutella with hazelnuts before and it's really yummy. Nuts have been giving me trouble, so I thought a nut-free version would a fun idea. But do try with the hazelnuts too if you get a chance. I'm pretty sure Tessa has a recipe on her site.
Sorry to hear the winter brings you pain. Have you been doing well lately? I hope you enjoyed your trip and had a great time connecting with friends. The worst season change for me is winter to spring. Allergies always tax my immune system and I usually get a lupus flare in my lungs/heart. I had a flare up in June. Not fun! But I know what to do so it doesn't get too out of control. I have noticed in the winter the tips of my fingers get numb (and sort of blue) when it just gets cold. But it doesn't happen all the time. I just actually came off of a Crohn's flare up (that started two weeks ago). It's under control now. I was going through some stress and then my hormones changed (I experience symptoms around ovulation and menses), so things are calming down. I haven't had a CD flare in a while.
But all is good now. Getting better. Feeling stronger. Kids are happy doing some play dough as I check my email here and make dinner. Can't complain :-)
Have a great week.
xo,

Amber, the tips of your fingers going blue in the cold might be a condition called Raynards. You should talk to your medical doctors about it. It goes with autoimmune conditions. Good luck.

I am sooo going to make this for my French husband...The Ultimate Nutella Lover!! I can't wait to try this tomorrow for the whole family-perfect idea before school starts next week. Sharing this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura. I am curious about your husband's verdict. He would probably like good-ole homemade Nutella (with hazelnuts). That's also so super easy. My tummy just can't do nuts these days. Seeds are much easier to digest. :-)
DeleteThank you so much for this!!! I totally agree with you about Nutella being full of junk ingredients. I can't wait to try this and I love that it looks simple to make :)
ReplyDeleteXO,

Thanks, Cassidy. I hope you enjoy it.
Deletemust try this - putting the dates in to soak right now - choccy spread for breakfast tomorrow (Sunday)
ReplyDeleteWoot! Hope it was great for you. :-)
DeleteThat's great! I freakin' love that. It's so surprising to me what people will eat because something says healthy on it or it's marketed that way. They never read the label! Just goes to show you can have something yummy and a little naughty without having to over load the body with nasty processed ingredients.
ReplyDeleteHi France,
DeleteI know, right! It's sad that companies *trick* us like that. Glad to get your stamp of approval on this recipe. :-)
