I just realized that I’ve turned on my oven maybe once in the past week. What a glorious thing. What could be worthy of turning on the oven during a heat wave, you might ask? Two words: sweet potatoes!

Yes, even in the summer, heat wave be damned, I need my sweet potato fix. This is my favourite way to eat sweet potatoes lately: Dice the sweet potato (leave the skin on), roast until tender, and then toss the cooked potato with coconut oil, sea salt, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Finally – and here’s the best part – a generous spoonful of hemp seeds sprinkled on for good measure. The hemp seeds stick to the coconut oil, coating every delicious bite of sweet potato. But this post isn’t about roasting things like a crazy person when it’s 40C with humidity, it’s about not roasting things! Speaking of drooling. For the almond base, I initially tried a combo of almond butter, coconut oil, and sweetener, which was super tasty, but the cups melted and were pretty greasy. Yield1 dozen Freeze time45.

I think he sort of looks forward to his morning/afternoon cup of coffee and "baked surprise". This morning when I approached him with todays offering straight from the oven, he said "Mmmmmm, Hot Cookie", for I moment I thought he was referring to me - awkward.Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Flour, No Butter) slightly adapted from Ambitious Kitchen Make 16 1 cup smooth peanut butter 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 large eggs 2/3 cup rolled oats (not instant) 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
