Raw Pear Cookies


It will soon be back to school, so I am trying to come up with healthy ideas for the kids to take in their lunches. I helped my son lose 80 lbs. over two years ago, so it is especially important for him to have yummy, healthy things to take in his lunch. It's not much fun to be eating carrot sticks when the kids next to him are eating twinkies. Also, since he is a cancer survivor, nutrition is paramount.

Raw pear cookies are a yummy, healthy treat. They are great to pack in lunches since they store and travel well. I haven't yet tried them using plums or peaches instead of pears, but I'm sure they would be tasty too.

Dehydrate these for 24-36 hrs. on 110, or in an oven on the lowest setting with the door ajar till firm and chewy. Store in an airtight container.

Raw Pear Cookies
In food processor combine:
2 very ripe pears, peeled and cored
1/2 c. raw almond butter
1/2 c. raw agave nectar
1/2 c. raw coconut flakes
juice of 1 small lemon
Puree till smooth, place cookie sized drops on dehydrator sheets or parchment lined cookie sheets if drying in oven.

My sweetheart LOVES pears and is totally into raw food so I will have to try these. I don't have a dryer but can use the oven. I think it is amazing what you have done to help your son. Good for you. Like iRaw said, you ARE an awesome mom. I'm proud of you as it can't have been an easy journey, but certainly one totally done from and with love. I've added your site to my RSS feed. And I REALLY appreciated your comment on my post. Very powerful and absolutely right on.
