I grew up in a family with a matriarchal structure, where those with two X chromosomes definitely outnumbered those who claimed a Y in the mix. So trust me, I’m quite familiar with every truism about how holiday foods and traditional Christmas treats go straight to the hips, grafting directly onto the thighs, etc. Even though we ate extremely healthfully most of the time, at Christmas there are definitely some treats that get made and gifted that aren’t particularly friendly to the health-conscious. So, to help even out every time you pop a coconut meltaway in your mouth, I’ve come up with a solution that’s filled with nutrients, simple to make, and not only that, but this recipe is extremely filling and deceptively rich without later coming after you with that heavy sort of, “oooof” feeling that one generally gets slammed with after eating genuinely rich foods.
