Starting Your Morning Off Right Breakfast Oatmeal-Apricot Cookies (3) My friend Jill asked me if I had a good recipe for “breakfast cookies.” I’d never heard of such a thing, but this is what I came up with: live, low-sugar nutrition you could eat in the car on mornings you’re in a hurry. 1½ C almonds (preferably soaked and dehydrated) 2 C dry oat groats, soaked, rinsed, and sprouted 2 days ½ C fresh orange juice ½ C sliced (or chopped) almonds 1 C chopped dried apricots ½ C chopped dates 3 Gala or Jonathan apples, cored and chopped (but not peeled) ½ C Craisins, chopped ½ tsp. nutmeg ½ tsp. cinnamon In a dry container, blend the almonds into flour with your high-powered blender and then set aside in a separate bowl. Blend the orange juice, sprouted oats, dates, apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the blender until creamy. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the Craisins, almonds, and apricots. Stir in almond flour and mix well. Press spoonfuls onto Teflex sheets in a dehydrator and dry at 105° until the cookies are chewy (about 10- 14 hours). Breakfast Pudding (3) Blend well in your high-powered blender: ½ C cashews (soaked a few hours in the water to be used in this recipe) 1½ C water (add a bit more if needed for consistency) 1 small banana 2 Tbsp. maple syrup pinch of vanilla bean dash of cinnamon dash of sea salt Add and pulse until broken down into small chunks but not totally smooth: ½ C golden raisins 2 C oat groats, soaked overnight and drained (optionally sprouted 1-2 days) Serve warm or chilled. 296 12 Steps to Whole Foods © Copyright Robyn Openshaw
