Carrot & Apple Munchies
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Kibble flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup oatmeal (Quick Oats)
3 tbsp wheat germ
2 cups carrots, grated
1 cup apples, grated
1/2 cup dried apples, chopped
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup chicken broth, low salt
3 tbsp safflower oil
1 tbsp baking powder
PRE-HEAT: Oven to 350 degrees F.
SPRAY: Cookie sheet with a non-stick spray.
MIX: In a blender or food processor put the carrots, apples, molasses, applesauce, chicken broth, safflower oil & ?Kibble? flour. Blend until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, oatmeal, wheat germ and baking powder. In al large mixing bowl: mix together your blended ingredients and your dry ingredients. Mix until you can form a dough ball. (If your mixture is a bit too moist, you can add more whole wheat flour, a few tablespoons at a time to thicken it up.)
PLACE: Dough on a lightly floured board. I take a short cut here. I roll my dough into 4-5 hot dog shaped logs, and then I place them in the refrigerator for 1 hour. After 1 hour, take the logs out, slice them and bake.
BAKE: 8-10 minutes then turn once and bake another 8-10 minutes. I prefer to turn off the oven leaving the cookies in it while they cool. This helps preserve freshness, makes them extra crunchy as well as intensifying the flavor.
STORE: In an air-tight container in the refrigerator. I also like to freeze them.
