Give this ridiculously simple but deliciously genius dessert quesadilla a video/photo update complete with saucy SunButter drizzles and maybe a few extra chocolate chips for next level gooey goodness?

Oh yes, I can do that. I can definitely do that.

I have eaten maybe two quesadillas in all of my life before now. Mexican food (or spicy food in general, zero peppers is my max) is not my jam. But swap spicy for sweet, cheese for chocolate, fill it with fruit, and throw in my favorite sunflower seed butter too? I AM HERE FOR IT.

SunButter Quesadilla

You know when you are scanning an ingredient list like – yes, okay, mhmm good stuff – so you are fairly confident the finished product will not suck. And it’s pretty short too, because we do not have time for finicky fancy snacks. But no amount of imagining could’ve prepared me for how crazy delicious these ingredients would taste when folded up altogether and pan-toasted to crispy quesadilla perfection.

A list can’t convey the magic that happens when smushing and heat are applied to bananas, SunButter, and chocolate. Might just be the best thing I’ve ever eaten between two halves of a tortilla.

This recipe is SIMPLE. So simple you may be tempted to skip the instructions section. Yup I see you. I see you because I too am the wing it/I got this/non recipe reading type.

BUT. There are a few little things I want to mention before you dive into SunButter quesadilla-ing. Tips really, not rules. And not make or break stuff, just make it better stuff…

  • Be generous with the SunButter. Spread that stuff on thick because a) it’s the quesadilla “glue” and b) it’s so so delicious.
  • Be generous with the chocolate chips. Because chocolate chips.
  • Don’t slice the banana too thin, we want some height to this quesadilla.
  • I used creamy SunButter, but any kind will work. For an unsweetened option, this one is my favorite. Or even go crunchy if you’re feeling adventurous.
  • A whole wheat tortilla works best. If you are using a gluten/grain free tortilla they aren’t as flexible and more prone to breaking, so I suggest using two tortillas (top and bottom) instead of trying to fold one in half.
  • Try strawberries instead of bananas – that’s really yummy too!

Thank you for reading. You may now you may return to your winging it in the kitchen ways.

SunButter Quesadilla

If I never eat another non SunButter quesadilla before I die I am 100% fine with that. This is everything a quesadilla should be and more ♡

      That’s just more SunButter thinned out with a little bit of coconut oil 🙂

    Yummy snack or healthy dessert…well, I couldn’t wait for snack time or dessert, so I had it for breakfast 😬🙈 to justify it, I did add hemp seeds! 😂 I was randomly craving a sweet breakfast and since I had plenty of leftover tortillas and ripe bananas galore, I had to give this a try! I used the cassava-chia tortillas and followed your tip of using two instead of folding one and it worked really well!! The gooey-ness factor…whoa. I love all of those ingredients on their own, but warmed and melted together makes for a pretty epic combination 😍 And the tortillas got nice and crispy! I have always been a fan of the standard quesadilla, but these might become my new addiction! And this was so filling and satisfying 😋 Another reason why I need to always have a backup jar of SunButter…I’m definitely making this again very soon ❤️

      Threw some hemp seeds in there too? Oh well then obviously it’s 100% breakfast appropriate😂😂 Regardless of time of day, I like the sound of that addition! I’m glad those leftover tortillas found a yummy use, and good to know they crisped up just as well. The gooey inside crispy outside contrast is the best, isn’t it😋 Hahaha I currently have 4 jars of SunButter in my pantry sooooooo…I feel you😆 So happy you tried it! (P.S. I already made the trip to whole foods and stocked up on Miyokos butter and cream of buckwheat🤗❤️)

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
