So I looked online to find some uses for this crap, and found some blog recipe on making balls out of them for a snack. Then, OF COURSE, I didn't print it, and never saved it, so tonight I couldn't find it again. I'm awesome. Whatever. But I'm pretty inventive in the kitchen and decided to take what I kinda remembered from it, and knowledge of doing stuff in the kitchen sans recipe, and I came up with the following (which taste pretty awesome, I might add. and when I say "awesome", I mean that by raw food standards, which sometimes takes a willingness to explore and put down your "this doesn't taste like a real cookie" attitude)
What I'm calling them: Maca Super Cookies
What they are: Little "raw" cookies that take like 6 seconds to make in a food processor
What they taste like: Chocolaty, nutty, coconut cookie dough.
Here's what I did:
I put the following into my tiny food processor: like 7 dates, 7 dried apricots, 1 tablespoon each of cashew butter, cacao butter, and coconut butter, and 2 hefty tablespoons of maca powder. Pulsed a few times until combined into a dough, rolled it into balls and pressed them into unsweetened coconut flakes. They then went into the fridge for a few hours to allow the various butters to firm back up. VOILA!
I purposely made a tiny batch of these because I wasn't sure if they were going to taste like crap. But I assure you that they are very nice and are made of the finest raw ingredients to fill you with energy. I will double the recipe for sure next time I make them.
