Do you know the reference? Well you better! 😉

If you know me, you know that The Office is one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME. Seriously. That show got me through some ROUGH times and brought me so much over the 9 seasons it was on.

Even though I’ve seen every episode several times, I recently decided to rewatch the entire series from the beginning. So far, I am loving it!! Sure I remember some of the jokes and storylines, but I am discovering new things about each episode that I may have missed or overlooked in the first go around.

One of my favorite episode will always be Season 3 Episode 2 in which this exchange takes place…

Obviously after watching (and laughing my ass off!) I had beets on the brain. I also happened to have some leftover beet powder on hand, from when I made my Red Velvet Truffles, so a new creation in the kitchen just HAD to happen.

With a little inspiration from my last skillet cookie, I decided to go for a more fruity version for the spring season ahead of us. This time of year I begin to crave all things fruit…especially berries! So a fruit and nut combo for this sweet treat seemed just right.

Just like my last skillet cookie, this one is vegan, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened with dates! It’s studded with cranberries and blueberries, has a nice crunch from chopped walnuts, and is perfectly soft and crumbly when served warm straight out of the oven! So perfect.
