Servings:
Makes about half a dozen (increase amounts to taste if u want to make more!) A soft deeply ginger-tasting spiced cookie that I was inspired to make after tasting the delicious raw gingernuts from the Bali Buddha Cafe in Ubud. This didn’t turn out as chewy, but the flavours are very good together.
Ingredients:
1 Sticky Dried Banana
1 tablespoon (roughly) fresh ginger
3 dried dates
3 cacao beans
3 cardamon pods (seeds only)
½ cup flax seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup natural sultanas
pinch salt
Preparation:
Pulse or grind all ingredients together. (I use a bamix.) Add water if the dough is too stiff.
Shape into rounds on a non stick sheet (I used an egg ring)
Dehydrate at 105 F , first till you can move them off the sheet onto the mesh, and then for a few hours more till they look ready.

Very impressive.

I just wanted to add I think the best use of these is chopped into croutons and strewn through a juicy fruit salad along with a fresh date, then the whole drizzled with golden linseed and a tad of maple syrup - decadent!

Awesome! I'll be trying these for sure.

Thank you for your positive comment achin70 :). A large part of the joy of raw food for me is playing with it - and luckily I have enough time to do that. I recently realised taking pix of the final results (if they work out) is a lot of fun, uses the camera and, since I have made my tentative steps towards blogging and joining this community, offers potential for sharing.
