sharing raw, vegan recipes and advice
I posted here looking for a gluten free, fat free bread alternative, and this is what I came up with.
In food processor, combine one small zucchini, two ripe bananas, and juice of one lemon. Puree, then stir in 1 1/2 cups flaked oats (not all oats are gluten free, so if you have celiac you need to check that) and 1/2 cup raisins. Spread out on "fruit leather tray" and dry @ 95* for 8 hr, then flip over and carefully peel off the "teflex". Keep drying to desired consistency- maybe only 2 more hours if you want to keep it bendy.
1 small organic zucchini
2 ripe organic bananas
1 organic lemon
1/2 cup organic raisins
1 1/2 cups raw flaked oats (if you have celiac you must get gluten free)
I made this the other night and it is really good! I didnt use raw oats but will buy some for my next batch.
You can buy truly raw oat flakes here:

I've got all the ingredients, and plan to make this recipe this evening. Love the combination of zucchini (my favorite veggie) and bananas. Printed out my copy yesterday.
This sounds really nice. Will add it to my long list of recipes I want to try!
They would be raw rolled oats. I can't get those here, but I have an inexpensive flaker, and can get either raw steel cut oats (which make small flakes), or I can order "hul-less oats" which are raw. Regular oat groats are often steamed to dehull them, and then aren't raw.
what are "raw flaked oats"? oat groats? buckwheat groats? rolled oats?
I'm sure you could use carrots if you added some soaked flax. I wanted to make something with no flax, so the banana is what binds it together. But soaked flax would work- maybe 1/4- 1/2 cup?
Interesting, now wondering how I might be able to turn this into a carrot and not banana variety.
