Alla's Cranberry Scones (Raw Foods)

From Victoria Boutenko's 12 Steps to Raw Foods. I haven't tried it yet, but I have to give the book back to the library. The recipe says: "you have to experiment to get the consisitency desired." I guess that means add more water if necessary or more solids if it's too wet.

Discover the perfect guilt-free treat with Alla's Raw Cranberry Scones. This innovative recipe bypasses traditional baking, utilizing a dehydrator to achieve a deliciously dense, nutrient-packed texture that is entirely vegan, raw, and full of natural fruit sweetness.

Ingredients

Makes 1 serving

  • 2 apples
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 raisins
  • 1 cranberries
  • 2 flax seed
  • 1 olive oil

Method

  1. Mix ingredients with hands.

  2. Drop by spponfuls onto teflex dehydrator sheets.

  3. Dehydrate at 105-115 degrees for several hours (approximately 4 hours on one side, then flip and dry for 3 hours on the other side.).

Cook's notes

  • Ensure your apples are finely grated and well-drained to maintain the perfect structural integrity of the scones.
  • Use a high-quality dehydrator tray liner to prevent the sticky fruit mixture from adhering to the mesh.
  • Check the scones at the 6-hour mark; depending on your dehydrator's humidity level, they may reach your desired texture sooner.

Easy swaps

  • Swap cranberries for dried goji berries or chopped raisins if you prefer a different antioxidant profile.
  • Replace walnuts with almonds or sunflower seeds for a nut-free or seed-based version.
  • Use agave or yacon syrup as a direct replacement for maple syrup to keep the recipe strictly raw.

How long does it take to dehydrate them?

These scones typically take approximately 7 hours of dehydration time, depending on your machine's airflow and the moisture content of your fruit.
