Sun Baked and Dehydrator Kissed, Amazing Raw Breads, Crackers and Desserts
My dehydrator was so important when I first became raw, it helped me satisfy my crunchy cravings. With some experimentation, I soon found I could create wonderfully tasty crackers and intensify the flavors of gourmet raw food dishes. As long as the temperatures do not exceed 118 degrees (I never go above 105 degrees), your foods enzymes remain in the food.
The raw, warmed recipes are simple to create and do require a dehydrator or constant sun exposure. Some of the recipes are time consuming, I like to save those for special occasions or if I am just in the mood to play in the kitchen. I find dehydrating recipes remind me of my baking days (only easier) and the kids have fun too.
Raw, Sweet, Sun Baked Goodies
RAW OATMEAL and CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES- 2 cups Macadamia nuts
- 2 1/2 cups of soaked oat groats
- 1 1/2 cups coconut meat
- coconut water to blend
- 1 cup raisins or Goji Berries
- 3/4 cup dates or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tsp vanilla
Grind in food process with S blade until desired consistency. Make into cookie shapes and dehydrate at 95-105 degrees until desired consistency. You can leave the raisins whole and add chopped nuts also sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Trust me these are the best oatmeal cookies ever. - For Chocolate Cookies add powdered raw cacao and shredded coconut to taste.
RAW CANOLI
This is an Italian dessert, a cookie that is cylinder shaped stuffed with a custard or whip cream. I use to love them, so of course I had to make them raw. Cookie: - 2 cups flax seeds, ground
- Second in a vita mix or blender add:
- 1/3 cup dates
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1 1/2 tablespoons carob powder or more to your taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder
- Add enough water or young coconut water until it equals 2 cups in the Vita-Mix pitcher and Blend.
Slowly add and stir in the blended ingredients to the ground flax seeds.
In a tortilla press, cookie press or with a rolling pin, make individual round thin cookies and place them on dehydrating sheets (not on the solid Teflex sheets). Dry them for 1/2 hour.
Then roll the cookie up to make a cylinder shape and press the ends together to keep it from coming apart.
Finish dehydrating until the cookies are hard. Then fill the cookies with Young Coconut Custard (any flavor will do, vanilla, banana, lemon, raspberry, etc.) or Cashew Cream making sure that the custard or cream is thick.
You can make a pastry bag by using an empty plastic bag and fill it with the filling and then cut off one corner.

RAISING RAW FLAX BREAD This is a fun recipe to play with I am still perfecting it, so take time to play with it too!- 1 cup ground flax seeds
- water
- olive oil
- sea salt to taste
1. Blend flax seeds to a powder.
2. In a food processor with the S blade, add 1/2 water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil
3. Turn on food processor and slowly add ground flax in the top.
4. You are keeping the bread light, keep adding water if needed. Feel free to add a teaspoon of sea salt and a couple pinches of Stevia powder if you would like. 5. Once the seeds are wet enough and form into a dough loaf, let sit for 15 minutes. You can also roll the top in seasonings or sesame seeds. 6. Place dough loaf in the food dryer and let dry for 24 hours.
I found it interesting how the flax loaf rises like heated wheat bread.
Top with fresh fruit jam or make a butter with olive oil, salt and maybe even a bit of crushed garlic. ENJOY and have fun!
