Healthy Halloween Treats: Pumpkin Bread, Raw Coconut Macaroons, Carob Balls, & More

Coconut Macaroons

This recipe is from Raw Fu (with minor adjustments)

Ingredients:

  • dehydrator
  • 3 Cup of raw shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 3 pitted Medjool Dates
  • 1/4 Cup of Honey
  • 1/4 Cup of Raw Agave (You can use all honey or all Agave, too)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 strawberries (optional)
  • You could also vary them by adding 1/2 T cocoa or carob powder, 1 T Almond Butter, or 1/2 juiced orange.

Directions:

  1. Blend all ingredients in a food processor until well mixed.
  2. Use a cookie scooper to make Tablespoon-sized balls or roll them by hand.
  3. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 4-6 hours. If you want them a little crunchier, dehydrate them a little longer.

Hope you use at least one of the recipes and enjoy the results.

    These all sound amazing! What are Frontier Spices?

      Frontier Herb Spices is just one of the very good organic, non irradiated sources for good herbs that has been around a while — there are other ones now as well

    Wow this recipe not only sounds amazing but looks fantastic also. The 2 1/2 cups of brown sugar sounds like a zillion calories so I wonder what I could replace it with?
