Raw, Vegan BLT!

I used to love it when my mom made BLT’s for dinner. My mom was quite the cook and dinner was usually a fully cooked, pretty elaborate meal. Having a sandwich for dinner was not the norm and signified a more relaxed dinner.

 

 

I have been wanting to make a raw, vegan BLT for quite some time. Having tried many different recipes for a raw bread, I finally came up with one that reminds me of the wheat bread I miss. No, it is not gluten free, as I am using wheat berries and I don’t have a substitution yet. But I will work on it. Eggplant bacon, tomato and a avocado “butter” round out this sandwich. You can certainly substitute plain avocados for the avocado butter if you choose.

    For those who are wheat intollerant try Kamut or Spelt! Good luck!

      Kamut is actually wheat. Just in a different type. It contains gluten. Also, spelt contains gluten.

    Susan, I bought ground raw wheat berry flour at the healthfood store. How many cups of ground flour should I use? The recipe calls for 2 cups of whole berries but what does that equate to one it is ground? Is it still equal
    2 cups of flour or does the dehydrating/grinding process make it less?

      Unfortunately, I have only done this recipe as written so, I don’t know how that substitution would go.

    This recipe looks delicious, I do so want to try it.You are so creative!
    Should I use the hard or soft wheat to sprout for the bread?

      I used hard wheat for this as I believe it sprouts better.

    This looks amazing!! Definitely going to have to try and make this one, especially since my dehydrator is back out of storage! 🙂

    How do you make zucchini puree?

      You puree it. I normally do this in the food processor. Cut the zucchini into pieces and place in food processor. Process until you have a puree.

    You mentioned looking for a gluten-free substitution – I’ve been looking at some of the prepared GF stuff in the health food stores and seeing “sorghum flour” in a lot of them, which surprised me because I actually thought that was another word for wheat, but maybe not. I see a lot of chick pea and tapioca flour, too, in the lists of ingredients. I don’t know if there’s a sproutable, sorghum grain? I personally can’t digest chick pea/garbanzo anything.

    I’ve been wanting raw ‘bread’ lately. Maybe I’ll do this! Gotta get that dehydrator out some time!
