Sattvic Kale Cookies - 25g Carbs, 3.6g Fiber, 4.8g Sugar
From: spicedplate.blogspot.com
1 1/2 cups precooked buckwheat groats (Cook 3/4 cup buckwheat in
1 1/2 cups boiling water for 25 minutes, or until soft)
12 large kale leaves, cooked in 1 Tbsp ghee and 3 Tbsp
water for 10 minutes, seasoned with 1 tsp freshly grated ginger root
1/4 cup EACH dried raisins, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds
2 large carrots, grated
1/4 cup fresh goat's milk yogurt
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp ginger
1/2 cup freshly ground buckwheat flour (I put raw buckwheat groats in
the blender, 1/4 cup at a time)
Making these cookies is a bit messy in the end, but they turn out delicate
and lovely.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F, and grease a baking sheet with ghee.
Have all of your ingredients prepared, mise en place style.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, saving the buckwheat
flour for last. It's going to be fun, sticky, and a bit gooey. Go with
it. Add in the buckwheat flour while stirring, a bit at a time. Depending
on the dryness of your cooked buckwheat groats, you may need more or
less flour. I erred on the less side, and was happy with the results.
Using your hands (they're the best tools in the kitchen!), form cookies
a little smaller than your palm. Bake for 30 minutes, keeping a close
eye on them for the last 5 minutes. If you'd like a crispier cookie,
bake for longer. Enjoy, guilt-free.
