Some of you already know this but I suffer from a couple of auto immune diseases the most debilitating one is Rheumatoid Arthritis. I became vegan mainly for my health and also being an avid animal lover. Health is wealth, I eat to live not live to eat. But every once in a while you just need something chewy and cookie like but without the guilt. Here is a raw cookie recipe that won't last long, they are that good! You will need a juicer for this recipe. Instead of throwing out the pulp from the juiced 5 carrots it becomes the base for the this yummy recipe. This recipes inspiration came from the one and only fabulous Tanny Raw or @tannyraw on Instagram. Thank you for the inspiration Tanny! Hey, Hey.
Ingredients
Dry pulp from 5 juiced carrots
6 dates, pitted
2 Tbs of cinnamon
1" of fresh ginger
1 Tbs of allspice
1 tsp of nutmeg
1 Tbs vanilla
1/2 cup of Craisins, chopped
1 Tbs of chia seeds
1/2 cup of water
Directions
In a large bowl take the dry pulp from the 5 juiced carrots. (enjoy the fresh carrot juice as a snack!)
In a food processor add the pitted dates, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, and water. Blend this mixture until a smooth paste is made. Add the date mixture to the carrot pulp. Coarsely chop the Craisins and add to the mixture along with the chia seeds, mix everything together well. With a cookie scoop, scoop out balls of the cookie mixture and place on a dehydrator. If you do not own a dehydrator place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and bake at the lowest setting of your oven. Slightly flatten your cookie balls so they dry out faster. If using a dehydrator dry at 110 ̊ for 4 to 5 hours or until the cookie is dry but still chewy.
Enjoy and remember to always be mindful and eat with compassion!
