Raw Carrot Treats
 
Ingredients:
 
  1. •    1 cup sunflower seeds
  2. •    1 cup pecans
  3. •    1/2 cup filtered water
  4. •    1 teaspoon vanilla
  5. •    1/4 teaspoon fresh zest from 1/2 lemon
  6. •    1 medium carrot
  7. •    1/2 cup raisins
 
 
 
Directions:
 
All ingredients should be RAW, organic and non-irradiated, whenever possible. Soak the first four ingredients for 4 hours.
Soak pecans and sunflowers in water with vanilla. Then blend in process/blend all but the raisins. After blended smooth, stir in raisins.
 
Make patties, or bars out of combined mixture. Make them thin. Place in food dehydrator and dry for 12-24 hours (or until dry.) Turn patties after 6 hours.
 
The sunflower seeds are a great way to stretch the organic yummy (and costly) pecans.
 
If you do not have a food dehydrator, preheat oven on lowest setting (mine was 170 degrees) and dry for 5-6 hours.  Patty up the mixture, and place it on a cookie sheet lined with paper towel or a paper bag. This helps them dry and not stick. Turn them over after 2 or 3 hours. If you like your bars really crisp, it would be good to check them near the end and see if they need more time.
