Who'd have thought that something so delicious could be so easy to make! This recipe is a cross between a cookie and a cake, and offers a rich treat, ideal for special occasions. Self-sufficient? only so far as you have access to the local healthfood store, or co-operative...
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup ground almonds (or sunflower seeds)
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup carob
6 dessert spoons maple syrup (or date syrup)
Spring water to bind
Extra desiccated coconut to roll with
Bind all ingredients together. Add a little water at a time until mixture is just moist enough to bind it together ( to test consistency take a little amount between fingers and see if it sticks together).
Take small amounts and roll into balls in the extra coconut on a large plate, and then flatten to about 1-cm thickness.
Can be served immediately. Refrigerate any left over. They will keep for days (
if you are lucky!), and will grow even more delicious as the flavours mature and dance together.With Love
Trinity
