Leah's Paleo fudge

My friend Leah posted this yumy recipe and I just had type it out so I could remember it!

1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (we use almond or sunflower butter)
1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 to 1 tsp vanilla

Mix together until smooth (I use my food processor). Put into muffin liners (I used miniature ones here), and freeze/refrigerate

Karis' favorite strawberry oatmeal bars

  • Karis made these wonderful bars from Pioneer Woman for a "how-to" presentation at our homeschool co-op.  They immediately became her favorite bar recipe!

  • 1-3/4 stick Cold Butter, Cut Into Pieces
  • 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1-1/2 cup Oats (quick Or Regular)
  • 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 jar (10 To 12 Ounce) Strawberry Preserves
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 or 8 x 10 baking dish. 

Mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half the mixture into the pan and pat lightly to pack it a little tight. Spoon strawberry preserves evenly over the surface, then use a dinner knife to carefully spread it around. Sprinkle the other half of the oat mixture over the top and pat lightly again. 

Bake until light golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in pan. 

When cool, cut into squares and serve. Yum!
