Ingredients

1 cup prunes (soaked 30 minutes, chopped)
2 cups raw almonds (soaked, dehydrated)
¾ cup golden flax seeds (ground in Vitamix dry blade or in coffee-grinder)
1/3 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon cloves (ground)
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons fresh ginger (grated with a microplane, or else mince)
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon sea salt (freshly ground coarse salt is best)

Recipe Directions

1. Process everything until smooth.

2. Refrigerate for one hour.

3. Scoop and roll into little balls 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Arrange on a Teflex dehydrator sheet.

4. Cover all the little balls with a big sheet of wax paper or another teflex sheet.

5. Press down on the little balls through the sheet to flatten them into cookie-shapes. You could also use a rolling pin or a saucer to help flatten them.

6. Dehydrate for 8 hours, flip onto a mesh sheet, and dehydrate another 8 hours or until desired consistency is achieved.

Dates would be much sweeter, Zoe--could you find dried apricots or raisins? (I know most Whole Foods carry some "Hunzan" raw versions of these) They might work better than dates.

these sound fabulous. i happened to have dehydrated a whole flat of plums in the summer... how fortuitous. of course they are much more tart than the regular, so i guess i could add a few dates maybe...

anyway, these sound lovely!

I've got a batch of these in the D right now - after a few hours I tried a few and am a bit disappointed :( They are pretty bland, even with adding extra spices, and have a weird aftertaste, that I suspect is the prunes. I would try them with less flax, walnuts maybe, and perhaps raisins/dates/prunes mixture, and way more spice. Oh and more orange juice - I really like that addition, just need more because the dough was pretty dry.

This looks great, I can't get raw prunes, any suggestions on a substitution? Would dates do it?
