serves 4 ~$1.15 per serving

1 cup buckwheat, soaked ($.35)
1/2 cup flaxseed, ground ($.20)
1 ripe banana ($.15)
2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)
1/2 cup water
pinch of salt
8 tablespoons nut butter ($3.20)
4 ounces strawberries ($.50)

This is a simple, basic recipe for a crispy cracker like
bread that goes well with nut butter and any fruit “jelly.”

Soak
buckwheat overnight. Drain and rinse well. In a food processor, puree
the ripe banana until liquid. Add in the buckwheat and process until
fairly smooth. Cover the ground flaxseed with about an equal amount of
water and let soak for about a half hour, until it forms the gel. Stir
the soaked flaxseed, oil, and vanilla into the buckwheat and banana
mixture. Incorporate well.

Spread
about 1/8 inch thick on teflex sheets in the dehydrator. Dehydrate for
about 2 hours on one side, then score in desired shapes and flip and
dehydrate on the other side for a few hours or overnight.

Serve with a tablespoon of nut butter and some mashed fruit “jelly.”
