Preparation

Step 1

Blend all ingredients together in Vitamix or food processor.

You now have 4 options:
1. Form into cookie shapes and let them sit on your countertop for 6-12 hours and dehydrate naturally.
2. Bake in a low oven such as 300F for 8-12 minutes.
3. Dehydrate at 118F for 3 hours or to your desired done-ness. (Form into a cookie shapes. Refrigerate if it's too-sticky, or bump up the amount of almond flour a bit)
4. The easiest! (10-Minute Recipe) Form dough into Balls & Refrigerate. The more time that elapses that the dough stays in the fridge, the dryer it will naturally become.
