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.

Blueberry Pancakes

Morning, Noon, and Night Pancakes from  From Raw Food for Everyone by Alissa Cohen.

These pancakes are the real deal. They have a maple-pecan flavor and the fluffy texture of real pancakes. Since they’re dehydrated ahead of time, keep some on hand for a quick breakfast or dinner. Makes about 20 pancakes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups pecans, soaked for 8 hours
  • 2 cups pine nuts
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup agave nectar
  • Seeds from 2 vanilla beans
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups blueberries, muddled

Directions:

1. Put the soaked pecans, the pine nuts, bananas, agave nectar, vanilla seeds, salt, and 1 Tablespoon of water as needed if batter is too thick to blend, in a Vita-Mix. While the machine is running, carefully remove the lid, and using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture along to make sure it is continuously turning over. Blend until smooth. Using a spatula, fold in the muddled blueberries.

2. With a ladle, drop ¼ -cup measures of the batter onto Teflex-line dehydrator racks, leaving at least ½ inch between the pancakes. They should be thick like pancakes, about ½ inch thick, not thin like crêpes. Dehydrate for 8 hours. Flip the pancakes onto clean Teflex sheets and dehydrate for 8 more hours. These should be soft and fluffy and have the consistency of a pancake. Don’t dehydrate them for too long; they shouldn’t be hard.

3. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Garnish with blueberries and coconut cream.

Durian Ice Kream

I’m on my 4th durian of the season. I don’t even want to even think of how much I will have spent on this fruit this year – they do not come cheap in Japan! Like so many people who eat a lot of raw vegan food, I have become a big fan of this stinky fruit. My local grocer has started importing a lot of lovelies from south east Asia this year, and I can’t help myself! I wanted to try something special with this spiky fruit, and decided to try this recipe from Frank Ferendo (see him on YouTube). This recipe was totally awesome, though very rich (high in calories and fat)… Worth it! I hope you enjoy it, too. (well, make sure you like durian, first.)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of durian
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1/2 cup agave syrup
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp coconut butter
  • dash of celtic salt
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao powder (optional)
  • cacao nibs (for topping, optional)

Directions:

Blend ingredients in a food processor or blender. Chill for a mousse; chuck into an ice cream maker for ice kream (Or just freeze if you don’t have one of those).
