Brownie Cookies in a Jar

Ani Phyo Eco Holiday Gift Ideas Brownie Cookies

These Brownie Cookies are rich and chocolatey and decadant…just in time for the holiday season. Folks will love them, and you…they make the perfect gift. I’ve got a ton of jars, so I opted to decorate them with cut out stickers and a ribbon. The perfect Eco Holiday Gift idea. You’ll need to use your dehydrator to make these cookies. VegNews Magazine recently asked me how I deal with the smells of cooked holiday treats. I told them my dehydrator emits smells that are just as yummy!!

Brownie Cookies
makes 12

  • 1 1/4 cup almond meal
  • 3/4 cup cacao powder
  • pinch sea salt, to taste
  • 1/3 cup agave or honey
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup cacao nibs

Mix almond meal, cacao, salt in mixing bowl. Mix in agave and water. Stir in cacao nibs. Use a 2 Tablespoon scooper to portion onto dehydrator trays. Dehydrate for 6 to 7 hours, or to desired consistency.

Macaroons

Ani Phyo Macaroons

If you’re a coconut lover, you’ve gotta give these Macaroons a try. Only 5 ingredients, fast and easy. You will need to use a dehydrator to dry these. This recipe is for Strawberry Macaroons, but you can substitute pineapple to make the yellow ones above, and cacao to make chocolate. And, these are the “Macaroon 5’s” I made for Maroon 5’s annual Halloween bash this year!!

Strawberry Macaroons
makes about 12

  • 1/3 cup pitted Medjool dates (semi soft)
  • 1 1/2 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen and thawed
  • 1/4 cup agave or honey
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract, or 1 vanilla bean, scraped
  • 2 cups shredded coconut

Place dates, strawberries, agave or honey, and vanilla in your food processor. Process into a puree. Add coconut, and process to mix well. Use a 2 Tablespoon scooper to portion batter onto dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 104 degrees for 4 hours.

Holiday Cookies

Here’s one of my holiday cookie recipes from my Huffinton Post article. Making your very own holiday gifts is a great way to share the love while living green and saving money. A reusable tin makes for great cookie container… it’ll keep her thinking of you all year long!

Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies
makes 21 x 2 Tablespoon sized cookies

  • 1 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup pitted Deglet Nour dates (drier dates than Medjool)
  • 2 cups oats
  • 4 teaspoons agave or honey
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • pinch of salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup cacao nibs, or chocolate chips (cooked)

Place raisins and dates in your food processor and process into small pieces. Add oats, agave or honey, cinnamon, and salt. Process to mix well. Empty into a mixing bowl and add chocolate chips. Mix well. Use a 2 Tablespoon scooper to portion cookies. Enjoy immediately, or chill before serving for firmer texture.

Cajun Bread

Ani Phyo's Raw Food Cajun Carrot Bread

I’ve been getting requests for bread recipes. With autumn upon us, I’ve been craving more dehydrated foods. This flat bread is soft and moist, like a slice of traditional pumpernickel bread. Enjoy with almond butter and jam, make an avocado sandwich, or eat on it’s own for breakfast. Made with flax and chia powder, carrot juice and the pulp give it it’s sweet flavor and soft texture.

Cajun Bread
makes about 12 slices, about 1 1/2 trays

1 1/2 cups carrot pulp
1/2 cup chia powder
1 cup flax powder
2 Tablespoons Hemp oil, or olive oil
1 1/2 cups carrot juice
1 teaspoon Braggs, or sea salt
3 Tablespoons tan sesame seeds
3 Tablespoons Cajun spice (onion, garlic, paprika, cayenee, parsley, pepper mix)
1 cup filtered water

Begin by juicing about 4 carrots. Mix all ingredients well, and spread dough on Teflex sheets on your dehydrator trays. Should fill about a tray and a half. 

Dehydrate dough at 104 degrees for 4 hours. Flip bread, peel away Teflex, and score tray into 9 slices of bread. Dehydrate another 6 hours, until desired consistency.
