Gogi Berry Balls (superfood cookies)

2/3 cup agave nectar

1/4 soaked goji berried

1/2 cup cacao nibs (I use chocolate chips)

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans

1/2 cup raisins

10 pitted dates

5 dried black mission figs

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup cocoa or carob powder

1 cup unsweetened coconut

Add all ingredients, except coconut, in a food processor and process until it is as creamy as you can get it. You can add a little water if necessary but don't add too much or it won't roll into balls. Next roll in coconut and chill in fridge or freezer for 30 min before serving.

Low-Fat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

3 Tbsp. flaxmeal

4 Tbsp. water

*combine and mix*

1/3 C Applesauce

*mix with the flax and combine together*

Dump the rest of these ingredients in and mix.

1 1/2 C. whole-wheat pastry flour/ or wheat flour

1/2 C cocoa

1/2 C succanut or turbinado

1/2 C maple syrup

2 Tbsp. peanut butter

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

3/4 t baking soda

Chocolate chips

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes

I actually ran out of succanut, so I used a little more than 1/4 C of agave instead. It worked perfectly. You could probably use the full 1/2 C substitute--it just might be sweeter....

Energy Bar (Yummy Snack)!

Slightly warm these ingredients in a pan until they become mixed and more liquid:

1 cup of peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter

3/4 cup of honey or agave

2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)

Mix in blender or food processor and add to above:

1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds, almonds, or walnuts

1 cup dried fruit (apples, apricots, dates, raisins, craisins, or strawberries for example)

4 cups brown puffed rice

Mix all ingredients together and press into a 13 x 9 inch pan. I put plastic wrap over it and use a a cup to make it really smooth and compact. Refrigerate until firm.

You can cut into squares and wrap it individually if you want energy bars on the go. My family eats it out of the pan but I plan on taking it to snack on during the Ragnar.
