I found this fab recipe via Jean at Raw Food Rehab. It’s based on a recipe from Brigitte Mars and makes about 2 dozen crackers.
Ingredients:
2 C flax seeds
4 C water
1 1/2 C raisins + 1/2 C raisins
1/2 – 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 or 3 bananas, peeled (depending on size)
1 tsp. sea salt
Preparation:
Soak the seeds in the water for about 2 hours *
Combine all ingredients (except 1/2 C raisins) in a food processor until smooth.
Stir in remaining 1/2 C raisins by hand.
Spread mixture onto three solid dehydrator sheets.
Dehydrate for 4 hours at 110 degrees. **
Remove dehydrator sheets and flip the crackers.
Score crackers with a knife and continue dehydrating until crisp – about 6 hours. When dry, the crackers will keep for several weeks in an air-tight container.
* Brigitte says to soak for at least 15 minutes. I waited the 2 hours suggested in Jean’s version and it was still a little watery. This made the mixture very easy to spread on the dehydrator sheets. I might let them soak for longer next time and see what happens.
** Enjoy the smell of warm cinnamon and banana coming from the dehydrator!
YU-HUH-UM!!!! I love the smell of cinnamon and banana too and this is something right up my alley. Thanks for sharing Antony! I've got to make these!!!
It really does smell so good Heidi!
When I spread it out it looked quite thick but it's thinned out quite a lot so far and might end up a bit like banana leather … can't wait 🙂
I've made these and they are very good! I actually soaked the flax 12 hours so they are easier to digest. Helps a lot.
Thanks Bitt – I'll definitely leave them longer next time 🙂
I guess this would be the healthy versian of the Garibaldi biccies(Yum:)!
xoxoxo
YUmmm! Those sound delish Antony!
Oh how funny that I just made cinnamon raisin bread. I'll have to try the crackers, they look great!
