Ali’s Sacred (yum-yum) Monkey Cookies

Taken from "Crazy Sexy Life" http://crazysexylife.com/category/recipes/

I wonder if I could bake them on a low heat instead of use the dehydrator that I don't have. Boy, do I love cookies!!!

Ingredients:
2 cups almonds blended to almond flour
1/4 cup or 3 tbs maple syrup (or whatever amount/sweetener you prefer)
1/2 bag of the sunsweet vegan carob chips
3 big mashed bananas (ready to peel, but not brown-ripe)
A dash of vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Mush the bananas in a large mixing bowl
2. Mix in the maple syrup & dash in the vanilla extract
3. Combine this with the 2 cups of fresh almond flour
4. Mix 1/2 (+) bag of sunsweet vegan carob chips-the mixture should be moist, but shouldn’t be runny.
5. Place spoonfuls of mix onto dehydrator trays lined with teflex sheets. Flatten to about 1/2 inch tall, round “cookie shape.”
6. Dehydrate at 100 degrees for about 8-12 hours* - or until the cookies can be peeled off the sheets and maintain their form. they will be moist and gooey, and are super yummy straight out of the dehydrator.
(*may take less time with an excalibur dehydrator. I have a Nesco - takes 10-12 hrs.)
Store in the fridge:)
