The Joy of Homemaking

Posted by Jenni on February 9th, 2007 in Healthy Snacks, Low Sugar, Raw, Whole Foods

We like to have healthy, preferably raw snacks around the house for those moments when one of us is thinking about being naughty sometime before the next meal! This is another recipe my friends Rana and Jana shared with me from Serene Allison’s raw cookbook “Rejuvenate Your Life.” A cookbook that I need to get my hands on! Jana gave me a taste of hers and they were very tasty!

Buckwheaties are the base for this recipe: Sprout buckwheat for two days. Rinse and drain well. Dehydrate thoroughly.

4 cups buckwheaties
1 c. raw honey
1/2-3/4 c. tahini
3/4 c. or more of golden flax meal (golden flax seeds ground in your coffee grinder)
Goodies (raisins, chopped dates, un-sulfured apricots, chopped walnuts and almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, whole flax seeds, Goji berries, pine nuts, Go wild!)

Mix all together. If it seems too dry, add more tahini and flax meal to bind. Put it all in a greased Pyrex plate. Freeze. When it is frozen, score into granola bars, and place in covered container until you want some. Keep frozen or refrigerated.
