Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust

I’m always in the kitchen baking, I mean I literally feel like I live in there. I usually bake with gluten free flours, but from time to time I like to mix it up and bake grain free. When I do its very important to me that I don’t sacrifice on flavor and texture. Grain Free can be a little more tricky to work with. I especially loved this Grain Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites with Cashew Crust recipe, it was almost too easy to work with. I felt like a cheater haha! If you tend to lean more on the grain free side of the world then you definitely need to check out these Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter Cookies . These delicious bites are flourless, giving them an extra added bonus… Woohoo!

Cheesecake is one of my husbands favorite desserts! Anytime I say the word ” cheesecake  ” he will bend over backwards for me just to get me to make it for him! Needless to say he was drooling at the mouth over these delicious cheesecake bites. The cashew crust gives it this really nice creamy – buttery flavor. I love using cashews when I bake, they are lower in fat compared to other nuts and are rich in protein and magnesium. Another delicious recipe to try with cashews are these Dark Chocolate Dipped Cashew Cookies. 

 

Here are a few thoughts and tips :

  • Make sure when you cream your wet ingredients you stay PATIENT. It takes a few minutes for the ingredients to combine and smooth out.
  • Keep an eye on your cheesecake bites , oven temperatures vary.
  • If you go with the dairy free option, keep in mind the taste and texture are NOT real cream cheese so it may slightly differ… This is why I suggest Wayfare Cream Cheese , the flavor and texture is the closest I have found to real cream cheese. ( This is my personal opinion )

Faith On Record

Galatians 1:10

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

When I started this blog a few years ago, I played it safe! I knew I was called by God to speak the truth that sets men free, but I was crippled by the fear of not being accepted and supported by the outside world. I lacked the courage and strength to stay true to my convictions that set me apart from the “ common “ Food Blogger. I was in serious danger of losing my God-given destiny. It wasn’t something I overcame quickly. Over time I had to learn to train and inculcate my thoughts to who God says I am. Every time insecurity whispered doubt and fear into my ear, I would fight back with the Word of God! It all started with this one verse … Matthew 5:14 “ YOU are the Light ✨ of the world. A city on a Hill CANNOT be hidden “ .

I read this verse and meditated on it all the time. I had it written on my chalkboard in my kitchen ( still do ) so I could see it every day. The more I proclaimed this truth the more I started to believe it for myself!! Fast forward to now. I no longer seek the approval of others when it comes to my faith and life. I seek God‘s approval and cling to his promises. I will never apologize or shrink back from who I am. I’m confident in who God made me to be and by his POWER I walk in Boldness and proclaim his Marvelous Deeds!! If God is for us, who can be against us?!  ~ Romans 8:31💫 Live by Faith – Don’t Run and Hide 💫

Romans 8:28

God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Why doesn’t God answer our prayer for healing? The Bible tells us that God answers our prayers, and yet it seems as if we don’t always get that answer. In John 9 Jesus encounters a man who is born blind, The people assumed it was because of sin. They asked him ” Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? ” Jesus responded ” Neither ” !!! Jesus then went on to say ” THIS HAPPENED so that the works of God might be displayed in his life “.

Sometimes those prayers of complete healing never come… So we need to pray prevailing prayers. Not just prayers to get us by, but prayers to get us through. Prayers that strengthen and sustain us. We need to learn to praise God when the  answer is no and praise him when the answer is yes. He is working mightily behind the scenes growing and cultivating our character to embody the image of Christ. God is taking hold of you, he’s called you. His plans for your life are far greater than anything you can imagine. Just like the blind man…He’s using this to not only change you, but to Glorify his name. So no matter what we’re facing we can be encouraged that he’s working all things together for the good ☝? ( Romans 8:28 ).

Let go of your understanding ?…Trust him to refine and bolster your faith even by fire?. Gods Glory and Power have NO LIMITS!

Awake! Awake! Clothe yourself with Strength ??✨✨??

1 John 5:5

Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son .

For so many of us, worry is a past time. We just can’t stop worrying. It’s just an awful ruthless habit that eats away our mind. It doesn’t benefit us in anyway. It has no power. All it does is harm.

So now what about faith? Faith obeys God inspite of our circumstances. Faith is PEACE during adversity and sorrow. Knowing God and putting our full trust in him is the key element to an unshakeable deep faith. It breaks past and through all barriers. Here’s an awesome quote by George Muller I just love!

” The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith. The beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety”

Priscilla Shirer also paints an awesome picture of what a steadfast, obstinate faith should look like.

” Our anxiety always stems from a desire to control and indicates that we have ceased to trust the Lord. When we are depending on the Lord to handle the people and circumstances in our lives, the outcome will be an existence virtually free from worry, anxiety, and fear. Peace will begin to flow like a river in our every day living. ”

Isn’t that just magnificent!! Faith unlocks the door to peace. Imagine how much more happiness and peace we would have if we just let go and say, ‘Lord, I place everything in your hands ‘ ……. We have to allow him!! Trust and faith in the Lord will sustain and strengthen you in those darkest of times! Turn it over…turn it over…..

Remove the roadblocks and clear the pathway. It’s time to put our full faith in him ??❤️

Matthew 4:4

Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

 

I recently did a small study on “Spiritual Emptiness.” I think a lot of people feel that thirst to fill that empty well in their soul. A lot of times we strive for more money, power, love, success, or even become so immersed in the busy lives we try to maintain… just to not have to feel that void. Well I have Good News! It’s normal!! So many of us  appear to be happy and confident on the outside but beneath all that there is a vacancy that can only be satisfied by God. No matter how much we do or get it will never be enough… well its not suppose to be. It’s all short-lived. There’s a reason for this spiritual alienation: Man was created with a yearning that only God himself can fulfill. The only way to gratify this longing is through a relationship with him. If God’s love, grace and favor aren’t enough, nothing else will be. The world say’s, your reward is in this life. God say’s your reward is with me. We cannot live successful lives without God, that is why it’s so important for us to be in his word everyday. When your in his word, I promise you… you will never be empty!! Tap into his spirit. Let him occupy the forefront of your mind refilling your spiritual tank .

❤️

What or who do you rely on to fill the empty places in your heart and soul?
