Butternut Squash Dessert


Butternut Squash Dessert:


-1 Medium to large sized organic butternut squash
-1/2 cup of organic raisins
-about 6 tbsp Organic agave or honey (measurement will change according to how sweet you want your squash to be)
-1/2 cup of cut of organic walnuts (how big all small you want your walnut chunks is up to you)
-.1/2 tbsp of organic cinnamon
-1 tbsp organic coconut butter/oil

Cut your squash in half, take the seeds out and bake it on a flat sheet (face down) at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour.
Scrape the squash into a bowl (preferably glass. Plastic heated up can leech harmful chemicals into your food) and mix it until its mushy.
Add the rest of the ingredients in and mix. You are welcome to add more or less of the other ingredients to suit your preference. Tristin loves raisins so I typically add more raisins. Those measurements will also change according to how big your squash it.

Eat and enjoy as you get a large serving of a delicious vegetable for dessert!! Your kids will never know any different (unless you tell them it's a vegetable) :)
