MAKES 4 WRAPPERS
Â
Mild in flavor, these crepes make a great wrap for savory and sweet recipes. The flax in this mixture creates a crepelike consistency, rather than that of a rubbery fruit leather. Err on the side of less agave rather than more, or your crepes will stay mushy and won't dry fully.
1 cup cored and diced apple
½ cup flax meal
2 tablespoons agave syrup
½ cup water, or as needed
½ cup flax meal
2 tablespoons agave syrup
½ cup water, or as needed
Place the apples in the bottom of a high-speed blender. Add the flax meal, agave, and water. Blend until smooth.
Â
Spread the mixture evenly onto one lined 14-inch-square Excalibur Dehydrator tray.
Â
Dehydrate for 4 to 6 hours at 104°F, or until completely dry. You can also flip the crepes, peel off the liner, and dehydrate for another couple of hours until dry.

Cashews blended with fresh lemon juice and zest create a creamy, rich, and tangy sauce.
If you don't have a high-speed blender, use the grinder top with your Personal Blender or your coffee grinder to first grind the cashews into a powder before using, to help create a smooth, creamy consistency.
1 cup cashews
½ cup lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
¼ cup filtered water, or as needed
½ cup lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
¼ cup filtered water, or as needed
Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, adding only as much water as needed to create a thick, smooth kream.

PANCAKESMy raw pancakes are truly moist and fluffy, with a consistency very similar to that of cooked wheat pancakes! You've got to try making them so you can see for yourself how amazing the texture and flavor are.
I make my pancake batter by blending together bananas and flax, which both bind and hold together rich Brazil nuts. Bananas add a light, airy, fluffy consistency when blended, the Brazil nuts add a smoothness, while the flax helps hold everything together.
Â
Finally, sweet, soft, fluffy pancakes to enjoy syrups, butters, and sauces with!
