 ¾ c almond flour ½ c arrowroot starch 1 tbsp coconut flour ½ tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon Hefty pinch sea salt ¼ c melted unrefined coconut oil 2 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp molasses Preheat oven to 350. Meanwhile, stir molasses, syrup, and melted coconut oil until evenly incorporated. In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the oil blend, mixing well. The dough should come together quite nicely. Transfer the dough onto parchment paper about 8 in. long or onto a silpad. Both work. Wet your fingers (so dough doesn’t stick) and gently press out the dough until it’s about ¼-⅛ in thick (like a graham cracker!) and in a giant rectangle shape. Use a fork to pierce the dough like you see on store-bought graham crackers evenly throughout (this keeps the crackers especially flat and uniform). You can use a rolling pin or another piece of parchment paper to achieve this, but I find wet fingers works just fine. Bake for 10-12 min until fragrant and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool just a bit before using a knife to slice into graham cracker shapes. I like squares but sometimes do long pieces. Let cool completely before storing in freezer for weeks! Options: Add ½-1 c chocolate chips for chocolate chip graham crackers Add 1 tbsp turmeric + pinch black pepper for golden grahams Add 2 tbsp cacao + 1 tsp vanilla for chocolate graham crackers Add 1 tbsp pysllium + 1 tbsp flax seed for fiber graham crackers Top with toasted oats + chopped pecans for a nutty fix!  We love the convenience of store-bought, quality energy bars, but we loathe the packaging and often times high price.  That's why we created our own take on Rx Bars... HGRX Bars! Our bars cost a fraction to make and store beautifully. Plus, the have the added fiber of Psyllium Husk powder and flax meal. Psyllium Husk is an incredibly effective soluble fiber brought to you by none other than Plantain, Plantago ovata. Soluble means it absorbs water as it passes through your colon, pulling out toxins, regulating your bowels, and normalizing constipation, diarrhea, blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, and even helping with weight loss through metabolism support. Just be sure to drink lots of liquids when you increase your fiber intake because fiber with no liquids can have the opposite effect of backing of your bowels and causing discomfort. HGRx Bar Recipe1 c nut butter ⅓ c raw cashews ¼ c coconut oil ½ c toasted oatmeal (simply bring a pan to medium heat and toast until fragrant and golden) ½ c flax meal 1 c juicy dried, pitted dates (it is important that your dates aren’t super dried out and still have some fleshiness to them 3 tbsp psyllium husk (optional but excellent for added fiber) 2 tbsp molasses 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla Hefty pinch of sea salt ½ c dark chocolate chips for topping Line a 10 x 10 baking pan with parchment paper. In a high-powered blender, mix all the ingredients except the chocolate chips. It works best to blend the first 5 ingredients first. Then add the dates, pulsing until they are mostly pulverized. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until mostly smooth. A few cashew or date chunks is a-okay. Transfer all the dough onto the parchment paper with a spatula. Using wet fingers, press the dough evenly into the pan. Top with the chocolate chips, scattering them evening and gently pressing them into the dough. Freeze for 20 minutes and then slice. Store in an airtight container in the freezer or fridge for weeks.  |
