Raw biscuits. Yummier than they sound....

Finally, back after a lovely honeymoon and back to some blogging!

Our holiday was amazing and I found some very tasty treats that I was quite sad to leave. One of them was raw snack bars, gluten, sugar and dairy free = great for me.

I've not really seen anything like it here so I thought - why not make my own!

So I just soaked a load of dates overnight in some water then blended them up. Added some almond meal (I just whizzed it up myself), LSA, shredded coconut, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, chopped up walnut and raw peanuts and a little bit of honey.

Here is the mixture

Then after a little bit of mixing I just wet my hands and formed them into little patties!!

Ta da!!!!!

I think next time I may add some cashews, coconut oil and maybe a tad of cinnamon! But not bad - don't think I'd feed them to anyone else just yet ;)

Whoopie pies

I'd never heard of whoopie pies until my friend Thao gifted me the book from the Hummingbird Bakery so for Ollie's birthday party I made some whoopie pies using the recipe from Donna Hay - rainbow whoopie pies.

I am not the best baker in the world and found there to be all sorts of variables when making these! It was difficult to get them the same size and making 2 separate batches my dough changed from the first batch to the second. But there are probably some simple tips on how to make these more uniform!

Here are pictures of the finished product! I hope they were enjoyed ;)
