Gourmet Fruit and Nut Crisps
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup golden flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup roasted sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 ounces pitted dates
- 1 ounce dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Pulse the dates and cranberries in a food processor until very finely chopped (or do by hand).
- Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl and let rest 15 minutes.
- Grease or spray a large nonstick jelly roll pan (14"x20").
- Spread the dough into the pan evenly, using waxed paper pieces to coax it to spread very thin since the dough is quite sticky.
- Bake dough for 12 minutes at 350 then remove from oven.
- Reduce the oven temp to 250F.
- Cut sheet into 6 dozen pieces (or however big you like) then use a spatula to lift them onto a couple other baking sheets and allow them to be separated.
- Bake crisps an additional 45 minutes or so or until crisp, then allow to cool completely to crisp a tiny bit more.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Note: if moisture gets to them from your container after a few days and they aren't as crisp anymore, I find that placing them in a low oven or a dehydrator for awhile will crisp them right back up.
