HOMEMADE CRACKERS

3 c rolled oats
2 c fine whole wheat flour

I am finally getting to where I can get this blog going now. Sorry that you all had to wait so long. Here is the first thing going up for you all to enjoy! A healthy sweet treat!

Carob Fudge Pie

(Yep, I just had to start out this blog with a sweet treat , LOL)

In a blender combine:
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tsp pure vanilla
1 tbs Roma (non-caffeubated coffee substitute As soon as Roma is dissolved,
add: 1 12.3 oz box firm Mori-Nu Silken tofu Blend until silky smooth.

Over a low heat in a thick bottomed sauce pan,
melt: 3 cups favorite carob chips or barley malt sweetened chips.

When chips are melted, add to blender and blend, stopping 2 or 3 times to stir contents down. When completely blended, just put your blender in the refrigerator while you wait for the Graham cracker Crust to become completely cool. When crust is cool, spoon in filling and refrigerate. This pie is very rich and needs to be served very cold. Cut into small pieces.
