Ingredients

  • 10-12 large Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (you can blend desiccated coconut until fine)
  • 3 tablespoons treacle
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 2 1/2 cups fine almond meal

Method

  1. Add everything but the almond meal to a food processor and blend till a paste forms.
  2. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and add the almond meal.
  3. Kneed the almond meal into the paste until a nice dough forms.
  4. Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 1/2 cm thick.
  5. Cut shapes out.
  6. Transfer to a Ezi Dri dehydrator tray lined with mesh sheet.
  7. Dehydrate at 70ºC for 10 hours. They will still be soft and slightly chewy due to the dates.
  8. Store in an airtight container for 1 week.
