"Blueberry Super Food Cake and Contest
A hot day calls for a cool treat. I made this delicious dessert from blueberries, blackberries, and maca. The crust is made from seeds, oats, cacao, spirulina, and sweetened with dates. We loved it! ?
I love using whole food ingredients in my recipes. I especially love incorporating dates to replace refined sugar. I thought it would be fun to see your creations that are sweetened with dates.
So, I'm hosting a little date creation party. Here's how you enter:

Double Chocolate Oat Crust
1 3/4 c rolled oats
3 T cocoa powder/cacao powder
1/4-1/2 c chocolate chips or cacao nibs
