Banana Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (Super Charged)

Banana Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Wait until you read the super charged ingredients in these little cookies. I was playing around in the kitchen today with new recipes and wanted to make an extremely nutritious cookie for the children, and hubby too. You can easily make these totally raw by purchasing raw oats. I just used really good organic oats today. Grind the raw oats to make the oat flour that I refer to in the recipe.
I got out a big bowl, opened up the pantry and literally made this recipe up as I added each ingredient. I just threw in what ever I thought would taste good together and here is the result.
You can make these two ways like I did. Keep some of them cold in the fridge and dehydrate the rest till desired texture; store those in an airtight container on the counter. Eat within two days....ours will be gone in one! My husband and children like both versions. My husband liked the dehydrated a bit more than the cold cookie. My older two children thought the dehydrated ones tasted like a chocolate banana bread. They are really good both ways. Enjoy!

Banana Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
by Elizabeth

In a large mixing bowl, mash 1 and 1/2 bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in with a fork, the following, in this order:
1 T raw cacao powder
1 T raw carob powder
1 T raw almond butter
pinch of sea salt
1 capful of vanilla extract
1 T Agave or real maple syrup
1 T Lucuma powder
1 T Hemp seeds
1/8 C buckwheat krispies
1 1/3 Cups  Organic Oats (add 1/3 of a cup at a time, mixing in between)
3/8 C Organic Oat flour (add 1/8 of a cup at a time using less or more      depending on consistency of your dough)
Allow dough to sit a few minutes to moisten the oats. Flour your hands and shape the dough into cookies. Lay half of them onto wax paper and refrigerate. With the remaining cookies, dehydrate them on Teflex sheets at 105 degrees until they reach your desired texture. Ours were dry on the outside yet chewy in the middle, perfect!

~JMJ~ Today I am grateful that our 4 year old is feeling better. He was under the weather for 3 days. Boy was it tough! I don't know if he was detoxing or just picked up a virus, but I am very glad he is better. I LOVE you Eric Jr.

Seed Yogurt

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
