Churros


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 152
Yield: 10 to 12 Churros

Ingredients

3/4 cup dates
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup raw or untoasted almonds
2 cups sprouted wheat berries
2 teaspoons organic vanilla extract
COATING
1/4 cup finely ground raw or untoasted cashew nuts
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Place the dates in the water and let soak for 1 hour, or until soft. Reserving the water, drain the dates and set aside.

2. Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse to a fine powder. Add the wheat berries, dates, and vanilla, and mix until smooth and creamy. If necessary, add the reserved water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture has a cookie dough consistency. Transfer to a sealable plastic storage bag and set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, prepare the coating by combining the cashews and cinnamon. Set aside.

4. To make a churro, cut a 1/4-inch opening in the corner of the plastic bag containing the dough. Squeeze out the dough onto Teflex dehydrator sheets into log shapes about 2 1/2 inches long. Sprinkle the dough with the cashew and cinnamon mixture and dehydrate at 105°F for 24 hours or until the desired crunchiness is reached.

5. Remove the churros from the dehydrator and serve warm.

Tip . . .
The churros taste best served warm, right after dehydrating. However, if you don’t have time to dehydrate for the full 24 hours, the churros can be removed from the dehydrator and refrigerated for up to one week in a sealed plastic container. Simply warm them up in the dehydrator for 30 minutes at 112°F before you want to eat them.
