I thought it best to throw in a Kapha treat.
This is always a favorite “raw” recipes.If you aren’t familiar with raw/living foods,
no worry….it’s not as scary as it sounds.
It means the foods are LIVE with enzymes
because they haven’t been destroyed by heat.
(more on the benefits of enzymes coming soon).Many raw foods are made in a dehydrator,
but if you don’t have one you can use your
oven on the lowest possible temperature.Raw foods are not to be heated above
104-110 degrees in order to keep the
enzymes alive. Put your oven on the
lowest possible setting and leave the door open
a notch to circulate air flow.The oats and agave nectar make this a perfect
choice for Kapha types. The coconut adds
good fats, and the cacoa powder
and nibs are loaded with
antioxidants. All in all, a healthy treat.
The oats and cacoa are both good for your
heart and lower cholesterol.ENJOY!
INGREDIENTS:1 1/2 cup raw, rolled oats
1/4 cup agave nectar1/2 coconut cream, (or I use light coconut milk)
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/4 raw cacoa powder
1/4 cacoa nibs
1 tbsp vanilla extract.
PREPARATION
Mix all the ingredients together. You can adjust
the amounts to your own likes, there’s no right
or wrong with this, you can hardly make a mistake!Scoop mounds, about a tablespoon,
onto dehydrator trays, flatten to desired cookie
shape with spoon or fingers. Dehydrate to
desired consistency,
or if using an oven, scoop onto
cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.The longer the drying process the crunchier
they’ll be, if you like a chewy cookie
add more liquid and dehydrate for less time.
