Strawberry Banana Treats for the Kids!
There are two raw food recipe questions that come up often. One is, what do I do with the left over pulp when I make nut milks, and the second, do you have any raw food recipes for kid’s snacks. I thought I would tackle both of them with the same recipe! Using the dehydrated pulp from my almond milk, and also a combination of strawberry and banana (always a favorite of my girls) I threw together these quick little snack “cookies”. They are tasty, super healthy and your kids will love them. No artificial colors, flavors or white stuff!
You can read all about raw flaked oats here: Raw Flaked Oats
You start by dehydrating the pulp from your nut milk. I used almond.
Throw it into the blender and you get a beautiful almond flour.
Mix ingredients, spread on nonstick sheet and top with strawberries!
Strawberry Banana Treats for the Kids
- 1 Banana
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Flour From Almond Pulp (you can substitute finely ground almonds)
- 1 cup Raw Flaked Oats
- 1 tablespoon Agave (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 5 large strawberries, sliced thin.
- Place banana, strawberries, agave and coconut oil (softened) in food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add almond flour and pulse until combined.
- Stir in Flaked Oats. Spread on nonstick a little less than 1/4″ thick. Score, top each square with strawberry slice.
- Dehydrate at 145 for 30 minutes and then 115 for 2 hours. Move to mesh screens and dehydrate until dry but not hard. You want these to be a little soft. Refrigerate.

I do not have “flaked oats”…can I process some rolled oats in the vitamix instead? Also, I am always looking for things to use up my nut pulp. But I have been disappointed quite a few times after using up a lot of my almond flour trying various recipes…we often find they taste a bit dry, even when not dehydrated fully. How do these fare? I have not tried these yet, but plan too. Just curious before I do. Thank you for sharing…love your site!

Those look amazing! How long and at what temperature do you dehydrate almond pulp to then make flour out of it?

I put hours into developing recipes, making them, photographing them and then posting them. I write them for my site and while I appreciate the links, I also appreciate being asked.

Oh my g.., I always thought oats had gluten, this is the first time I went and checked on wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten_sensitivity#The_oat_controversy) and you are totally right Susan, thank you so much for this insight. I just added this recipe (fully credited and linked to) to the almond-pulp recipes data-base that is slowly growing and taking form – hope it is Ok by you 🙂 http://www.almondpulp.com
Thank you again for this amazing site.

What do you substitute for nuts for a child that has nut allergies?

I guess I was under the impression that any agave can not be processed without undergoing a change chemically which makes it unhealthy. Regardless, I look forward to your post about it.
