An Ayurvedic take on blondies suitable for all doshas specially vata and pitta. By using coconut oil and coconut milk, along with dates and two types of cooling sugar this is a great cake for the spring/summer. The wholemeal flour and spices help this sweet treat to be suitable and easy to digest for kapha dosha too in moderation.
