As I delve more deeply into this raw food lifestyle, I find myself craving something chewy and sweet...like a nutty cookie.
Knowing that most grains are a concern for me and sugar is not necessarily my friend, a concoction born out of foods that "should" taste good together and will do no harm (in moderation), Honey's Raw Chocolate Banana Nut Cookies were born.
3 Cups soaked pitted dates
3 Cups soaked almonds (at least overnight) finely chopped
3 Cups dehydrated bananas or substitute ripe fresh bananas finely chopped
(the intensity of banana flavor drying time will be altered)
2 Tbl raw cocoa
1 Tbl sea salt
cinnamon to taste
Vitamix dates, cocoa, cinnamon, and sea salt until smooth using as much of the soaking water necessary to form a thick paste.
stir in banana and almonds until batter is consistent. If using dehydrated bananas allow the batter to sit for an hour or more before adding almonds so that the banana has time to rehydrate slightly.
spoon drop onto teflex sheets or parchment paper and dehydrate at 105 degrees until desired texture.
This turned out to be a terrific treat.
