Raw Gooey Cinnamon Buns

recipe from The Renegade Health Show

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup ground flax seed
  • 1 1/4 cup soft pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup water or more if needed
  • 1/4 cup softened coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp coconut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Directions:

Fold the almond meal, ground flax seed, 1 tbsp cinnamon, pinch sea salt, and pinch of vanilla in a bowl. Set aside. Process dates, 1/2 of the raisins, water and vanilla into a paste in a food processor. Then remove half of that paste mixture and add it to the dry ingredients, along with the coconut oil. Mix these ingredients with your hands until it forms a dough. You may need to add a little water or oil if it is too dry. Spread the dough out on a piece of parchment paper, and shape it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Take the rest of the date paste left in your food processor add the remaining raisins, 1 tbsp of cinnamon and coconut butter. Process until smooth. Then, spread a thin layer of the paste onto the dough. Using the parchment paper to help hold everything together, carefully roll the dough into a log. Chill in the refrigerator, and then slice into about 1-inch thick rounds. These cinnamon rolls can be eaten right away or warmed in a dehydrator.

Chia Fruit Delight

This is a truly delightful, nutritious, fruit-oriented dessert. Add more fruit, nuts, or any of your favorite ingredients or “toppings” for a customized taste experience. Also try adding natural extracts (vanilla, almond, orange, etc). I recommend Mila brand chia seeds. Pricier than other generic seeds, but high in quality. Recipe from Integrated Health.

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 tsp Mila chia seeds
  • 2-3 tbsp almond butter
  • 1-2 scoops any green powder supplement (or other superfood)
  • 1 apple (diced)
  • 1/2 banana (sliced) (optional)
  • 2 tsp raisins or dried cranberries (or other dried fruit) (optional)
  • 1/2-1 scoop chlorella powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp agave (optional)
  • Handful of nuts (your choice)
  • Splash of nut mylk (your choice – or water)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Water (filtered) to achieve desired consistency
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (your choice – optional)

Directions:

Chuck in your blender or food processor and turn mix away. Yummm.

Mila Chia Bars

This is a different genre of healthy snack, a way to get your greens without them tasting overly ‘greens’ if you know what I mean. This recipe is from Integrated Health.

Ingredients:

  • 6 ounces raw organic almonds
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1-2 tablespoons Mila chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup dates, raisins, or other dried fruit
  • 2-3 scoops of nutritional powder (such as chlorella, spiralina, nutritional yeast, rice bran solubles, etc.)
  • a golfball size hunk of coconut oil (about 1-2 tablespoons if oil is in liquid form)

Directions:

Blend all ingredients in a food processor and then pour mixed ingredients in a glass dish and pat firmly. Cover and refrigerate. Cut into cubes (or other shapes) and enjoy! Place in freezer for a firmer bar. You can also experiment with different nuts, dried fruits, and/or add fresh fruits (e.g., berries) or even organic cacao. Be creative!

Carob Chia Cookies

Recipe and photo from the rawcandy blog.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup dark raisins
  • 3-4 medjool dates
  • 1/3 cup carob powder
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • pinch of salt

Directions:

Toss all ingredients in a food processor and process until the mixture becomes dough-like. Pre-chopping the dates and raisins is recommended – It may take awhile to break them up in the food processor. Roll out the dough and cut into shapes with your favourite cookie cutter, and place in the freezer to firm up. You could also roll them into balls to make it even less work.
