The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

If you make almond milk from scratch like I do, you know what it's like to have bags of almond pulp crowding your life.

When I've got too much almond pulp around and want to get rid of it, I make these little almond pulp cookies.  They are so easy it's ridiculous. The flavour reminds me of little vanilla wafers. They are very light.

These almond pulp cookies are very dry, very odd and very simple little snacks. In fact, they are so dry that you have to drink something with it or you feel like you might choke. Lol. However, I find them oddly nice and I make them often - probably because I am like, "OMG I have too much almond pulp in the fridge - I need to get rid of this stuff FAST!"

Basically, you just throw your almond pulp in a bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and then combine with your hands. Form into little cookies with your hands and dehydrate.

Hi Michelle, not too sure - mine are really oddly crisp and dry. Maybe needed to be dehydrated for longer. Glad you first dehydrator recipe was a success!

Hi, is there anything you recommend that could be used instead of coconut in your recipes for those of us who are allergic to it. I am in love with your recipes! (just had to throw that in there).

Hi Nina, not ALL recipes will work, but some recipes will work well with hempseed hearts instead of coconut.

Another great use for almond pulp is...for the birds!! If you have a wild bird rescue organization nearby, most would love to have it since they typically run on donations and volunteer work! I'm told it is wonderful for smaller birds who can't crack the shell of a large nut. I've been happily freezing and donating what I don't use in recipes for the last several months. It's very gratifying to know it's helping creatures in need. I plan on using some for the birds in our yard as soon as my hubby makes me that squirrel proof bird feeder!

I also add raisins in the almonds when I soak them overnight....it makes my almond milk a bit sweeter.

Hi,
I was wondering if you had a good source for purchasing almonds. I have recently discovered that all almonds from the USA are pasturized then sprayed with insecticides.

Thanks.

TerraSoul is the only brand I have found in the US that is unpasteurized and certified organic. They are wonderful, however quite expensive. I buy it on Amazon.

There is clearly a difference in the almond chemistry after pasteurization. I made a particular all natural weight loss shake with almond milk I made from TerraSoul. It became gelatinous in thickness, whereas all other brands of almonds that I have used that are organic and pasteurized, it does not thicken like that.

I have also been told that in the US, some almond farmers will sell from their farm unpasteurized ones though I have none near me. :( Apparently, it is highly regulated and USDA requires pasteurization. (Though they don't come from the tree that way!)

Can I maybe use an oven at low temperature instead of dehydrator? I really want to make some cookies but I don't own one :/

Re: Oven use ..... Earlier contributor --- Carol (Nov 7, 2012) said she placed the cookies on parchment paper and baked them in the oven at 170 degrees for 3 1/2 hours and they turned out GREAT! ( I ALWAYS read ALL the comments because someone else comes up with added ideas.)

Hi Lea, sorry that won't work unless you have a special oven that dehydrates

Our almond milk never goes bad, as we use it in replace of water in our smoothies each morning.

Just a tip if you dont use all your almond milk before it turns sour i normally freeze some in icecube trays for icecream later!

Hey Laura-Jane,
Do you think if I added a little coconut oil, the cookies would come out a little less dry?

If you bake them, this works great. I use some of my almond pulp to make doggie biscuits and I use coconut oil in them. Then I bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. The cool thing is, while they come out crunchy and dry at first, if I let them sit on the counter for 2-3 days, they are soft. It is just the nature of the almond pulp. They absorb water from the air. The crackers I make in the dehydrator do not do this. They remain crunchy even weeks later. BTW, I have a NESCO dehydrator and I have no complaints. It is a beautiful thing. :)

Just a heads up - Don't give your dog too much almond meal, nuts can be toxic for dogs.

Hey Casey, I know these are such weird little dry things, aren't they? Normally I would say don't add coconut oil to anything that needs to be dehydrated since oil will not dehydrate. However, these are definitely extremely dry so 1 tbsp coconut oil might be worth trying, although I have never tried it myself
