I've been making these for the last few weeks, they're sooooo good and versatile and filling, plus they give you tons of energy (I just ate three and am bouncing off the walls). My favorite thing is that they're so forgiving (like flax crackers) so I just throw stuff together without measuring and they turn out slightly different but totally delicious every time! So the recipe is approximate:
Apple Cranberry Chia Cookies
2 Apples
1/4 c Raisins
3 Dates
2 TB Agave
2 TB Cinnamon
1 TB Ginger
1/2 t Allspice
3 Cardamom Pods
1 t salt
1 t Vanilla extract or 1" Bean
1/2 Lemon's juice
-Blend smooth, then pulse in:
1/2 c cranberries
Handful raisins (the red kind are really good)
Mix with Chia gel (2 TB Chia + 4 TB water/apple juice/coconut water), about 1/4 c hemp seeds or grated coconut, then stir in enough coconut flour to make a good dough-like consistency (about 1/2 c)
Use ice cream scoop to scoop dough on teflex sheets and flatten into cookie shape. Dehydrate at 105 overnight, flip and remove teflex, dehydrate a few more hours until they're the consistency you like.
Enjoy!
These would probably be really good with blueberries too, but I can't find any for less than $5 a pint right now... :(
Also, I know coconut flour isn't actually raw, but neither is grated coconut or nuts, so I'm okay with. Plus it's a super good fiber source so the benefits outweigh the non-rawness for me!
