These turned out amazing! My non-raw family loved them. They taste just like real blueberry muffins! (Though you could argue which kind are actually REAL…)

Ingredients: 

1 zucchini, with skin
4 dates
.33 cup almonds
½ cup oats
1 small handful blueberries, frozen
5 sprinkle salt
2 cup blueberries, frozen
½ cup oats
cinnamon (for topping)

Preparation: 

Put first six ingredients in food processor and blend. Pour into a big bowl and stir in the 2 cups of blueberries and the 1/2 cup of oats. Then scoop into paper muffin cups (use thick ones or doubled ones) and sprinkle cinnamon on top of each one. Dehydrate for 24 hours at 110 degrees. (Use frozen blueberries because they’re more moist after being dehydrated and will better resemble blueberries in cooked muffins.) Enjoy! Good alone or with jam spread on top.

Made these last night. Really liked them before I dehydrated them and not so much dehydrated! Guess I'm used to my food being juicy and not dried out :)

i was just going to ask how cranberries would work, rakao answered my question!! i've had a huge bag of them, but they are so tart that i don't really know how to bring out the sweetness in them.

any other cranberry recipes are appreciated!

I also made a cranberry version of these for Thanksgiving: I used more dates, added some good shakes of cinnamon, put in a squirt of agave and a drizzle of vanilla, and used halved cranberries instead of blueberries. They're great!

You can use oat groats. Soak them, dry them, and then make oat flour. It does not work with whole oat groats.

This was good. I may make them again.

I'm gonna try to get these made by Thanksgiving. I don't have any almonds or oats so I'll just use shredded coconut. I love the idea of using squash, that is brilliant! Thank you Rakao, you're recipes rock! :)

What type of oats do you use in this? Whole oat groats, rolled oats, steel-cut oats, etc.?

Thanks, Rawlizard. I'll be making these for sure after my cleanse.

Pam, it seems that the first 1/2 cup is part of the first six ingredients that go in the food processor. You add the other half afterwords. :) great recipe!!!

Looks good! Rakao, the 1/2 cup of oata is repeated. Is this correct?

These sound spectacular! I love that there's no flax. Zucchini makes such a good binder.

These look great! Any suggestions to maybe replace the oats with? I never do any grains. Grains are def acid forming.
