A great way to avoid refined sugar is to bake a treat every week so when your sweet tooth is triggered be it after dinner, when youre stressed, at work... you have something on hand that isnt a bad choice. Every weekend I try to do this not only for me but for my family. Quick and simple recipes are important as I dont have a lot of spare time and I love something that I can just make in a food processor or thermomix in five minutes! This recipe is my new go to! I made three of them on the weekend and put two in the freezer so life is easier!!
