Dearest,
My intention is not to start practicing recipe swapping, but merely to
share the below Exceptionally Savoury Treats for your taste buds recommended
highly by my little sister from Mexico. They were test-driven yesterday and
seem to work also without attending the yoga class first.
For other gourmand yet healthy recipes you should check the "Yoga
Cook book: Vegetarian food for Body and Mind" by the Sivanda Yoga
center.
SIVANANDA COOKIES
These large, energy-packed cookies are a standard after-class treat at
most Sivanada Yoga Centres around the world. They are very nutritious and make
a meal in themselves.
250 g rolled oat
100 g wholewheat flour
150 g brown sugar
50 g raw unsalted peanuts
1,5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1,5 teaspoons ground ginger
0,5 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
0,5 teaspoons baking pow
200 ml oil
about 200 ml (less!!) water
50 g raisins or sultanas
1 dl sunflower seeds
0.5 dl almonds (grounded)
Preheat the oven to 200. Oil 2 or 3 baking sheets. Combine the dry
ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add the oil and mix thoroughly. Stir in
enough water to make a firm mixture.
Take a spoonful of mixture, about the size of a ping-pong ball. Roll it
into a ball, place on one of the oiled baking sheets and flatten to a round
about 10 cm in diameter. Repeat to make 12 cookies. Bake in the oven for 12-15
minutes, until golden at the edges. Cool on a wire rack.
Use sunflower seeds, roughly chopped almonds and/or desiccated coconut
instead of, or as well as, the unsalted peanut
Be assured Your Body will Thank you :)
