Everyone likes chocolate right? Well typically you wouldn’t associate chocolate with healthy food however, this raw food chocolate sauce is fantastic and healthy, especially when compared to the bottled chocolate sauce sold in grocery stores these days. If kept in a glass jar or air-tight container, it will keep very easily for 2 or more weeks in the fridge however, I’ve not had it last that long before (gets eaten too fast!). Use agave for vegan version or use maple syrup for vegan nonraw version!
Ingredients:
1 cup honey or agave
1 cup raw cocoa (cacao) powder
7 Â tablespoons coconut oil (warmed in a jar sitting in hot water)
1 pinch salt (optional)
1/4 cup water (use more if you don’t want it to turn solid)
Directions:
Put all your ingredients in a bowl and mix with hand mixer OR put into blender, and blend until smooth. This recipe is so simple, a child can do it. (see video for proof!)
That’s it! Super easy, store in tight fitting container or glass jar for 2 or more weeks, good luck having it last that long.
Makes 2-3 cups
Prep time: 5 mins Serves: 32-40 (1tablespoon)
allergies: coconut oil, honey, chocolate
Raw food friendly, substitute agave or any other sweetener+water for vegan friendly.
Hi Guys, Today I’m here with another recipe, today we’re making Raw Oat Bread.
Depending on your belief of oats it could be considered gluten-free, and depending on which ingredients you use, it can easily be vegan. One thing I can tell you is that its raw, budget friendly, and super tasty! This is also really simple, and compared to normal bread it’s extremely quick!
Ingredients:
4 soaked cups of oat groats (2 dry cups)
1 soaked cup of almonds (1/2 dry cup)
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 tablespoon honey (or another liquid sweetener)
1/2 tablespoon sesame seed (optional, you could also use sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, any other seed or nut you want)
1 tablespoon psyllium husk (you could also use irish moss, flax seeds, or any other thickener)
1/4-1/2 cup water or nut/seed milk * (as needed)
coconut oil (optional for spreading stage)
——————-
Take your oat groats, almonds, sea salt, sweetener, sesame (or other seed/nut), and psyllium hus, into your food processor. Process for about 1 minute, or until it starts to mush up. If your mixture needs more moisture, add in your nut milk(or water) while the food processor is running. I ended up using about 1/4 cup of almond milk, however this will vary for everyone.
Keep processing until it turns into almond pudding, and will hold onto a spoon for several seconds one tipped over (see video).
Spread out on your dehydrator’s nonstick sheets, I went with about 1/4 inch thick, but if you want really thick bread, I would go with 1/2 inch. You can use a spoon but I find using your hands with some coconut oil or olive oil on it really works best. Try to make the “dough” as even as possible to assist with drying. I got 2 full trays out of my mixture.
Dehydrate @ 105 degrees for 12-18 hours. After about 2-3 hours you’ll want to flip your bread sheet over to dry evenly. My bread was done after 14 hours (when I woke up the next day). It was about half the original thickness, and still semi soft but you can tell its dry. I would still probably store them in the fridge if you’re wanting to save them longer than a few days.
Cut them with a semi sharp knife into equal “sandwich” sized pieces. I ended up with 12 pieces, but accidently broke two of them. I can’t wait to make a nice raw sandwich tomorrow!
Prep time: 5 mins   Dry time: 12-18 hours   Serves: 6-12 pieces (varied on size)
If you wanted to, you could add cinnamon, extra sweetener, raisins, maybe some nutmeg and make this into a great cinnamon raisin bread. I will eventually demo this aswell.
Heres what my finished “bread” looked like :
