Here are TWO gluten free desserts I made for my SUNDAY NIGHT DINNER last week (but didn't have a chance to share until now).
BLONDIES (burning them and making them into balls is optional)
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
1/4 cups soft brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
1/4 cups soft brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
salt
1/2 cup sheddred coconut
2 1/2 cups oats
3 tablespoons of halva
2 1/2 cups oats
3 tablespoons of halva
Beat the butter, oil, and sugar. Add eggs, salt, vanilla, and mix again. Add fthe coconut, baking soda, and oats mix until just combined and then spread into a lined tray. Dot the halva over and push the bits in. Bake at 160 C(fan) or 180 C oven for 15-20 minutes, or until edges are browned (not burnt).
Let it cool completely before you cut it into squares or bars if you prefer.
A CAKE

Add in spoon by spoon the almond flour and the cocoa, then stream in the slightly cooled chocolate/butter mix. Pour into a lined springform pan and bake Bake at 160 C(fan) or 180 C oven for 20-25 minutes.
