Throw all the ingredients back into your chopper to mix the honey and to get a "paisty feel" that will stick em together in snap! My first 12 feel apart.
also it's week 4 of the cleanse so I added 1/4 cup of special dark chocolate pieces to a double batch... just enough to get me past this and a bit of reward! Now, how many can I have? I am number 3 :-)
HUGZ!
I think next time I'll use half amaranth/half sesame seeds for a more Mediterranean flavor.
This recipe tastes great! Can you post the nutritional information for this recipe?
These are delicious! Of course, since I didn't really have any of the ingredients my product is slightly different... But I think whatever goes in, it's a lovely base. I used quinoa that I soaked overnight, wheat germ, shredded coconut, dried apricots, oat flakes, almond slices, honey and the egg whites. Pretty much the leftover bits of cookies and granola recipes. They took a little longer to cook through, perhaps because the quinoa was moist? But so yummy, and moorish!
yeah im gonna try it with enerG but i have a question is the amaranth and or oats pre-cooked or do i just mix everything raw?
Is there another binder that could be used in place of egg whites ? I have used flax or ener-G egg replacer in other recipes, but I am not sure about using in this recipe.
Hello! Is there a more easily-available ingredient that could be substituted for the amaranth?
