NUT-FREE CHERRY CHOCOLATE HONEY MANDELBROT RECIPE

This remix of a traditional holiday treat is particularly favored by those of Jewish faith due to its use of oil instead of butter — which means it’s also dairy-free! Like biscotti, this crumbly cake-like bread is perfect for dipping and sharing at gatherings – just sweet and chocolaty enough to serve as a tea-time snack, dessert, or even breakfast! This nut-free version is allergy friendly and has more variable flavor, but you can try raisins, walnuts, and other nut and fruit combinations to fit your gathering, diet preferences, and flavor profile. We left this classic recipe as is, but you can healthify it with different oil and/or flour to suit your needs. Simply pulse the ingredients together in your Blendtec or Vitamix or regular blender until combined, fold into dry ingredients, bake, and serve.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHERRIES
Cherries, especially the tart cherries they use for dried cherries, are so underrated! Those who add cherries to their diet experience less weight gain that those who do not. If you work out a lot, incorporating cherry juice into your recovery regimen has proven to reduce post-workout pain and soreness. Cherries can also treat and cure gout, reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack, stave off osteoarthritis symptoms, and help you have a better night’s sleep!
