There’s something to give thanks for every day of the year. And over the past few days in Washington DC, it’s felt more like November than April anyway. This yummy flatbread tastes like something in between pumpkin pie and candied yams, with the added nutrition of flax seeds!

On my quest to develop the perfect cracker upon which to spread raw almond butter,
I figured, why not just use almonds? To optimize digestion, I try to avoid using more than one source of fat at a time in a recipe, or combining fats with sweets. So this is my attempt to enjoy almonds without any added sweetners. It has a warm autumnal taste without being heavy.

This is not my recipe. It is from The Complete Book of Raw Foods book. I made these because I could not find any other recipe for raw croutons anywhere. These turned out quite nice. I halfed my recipe because I wanted to see if I liked them first. The recipe makes up to 9 dehydrator tray of croutons. Halfing it made about 4. Also, I didn’t use any leek because I didn’t have any and the recipe still turned out great. Oh, also I used the almonds instead of the sunflower seeds. Now, you don’t have to miss having croutons on your salads!
