Kokanee Squares (or circles)

I decided to name these Kokanee squares (circles)after Kokanee Glacier Park. I can see one of the mountain peaks from my house and it gives me inspiration for many things including my baking.

Below are ingredients, books and kitchen tools that can be used in this recipe and ordered from Amazon:

Directions

First layer:

2 1/4 cups of sprouted or crispy pecans

Put pecans in a food processor and process until very fine.

1/4 cup butter

1 1/2 cups arrowroot powder

2 Tbls. Rapadura or Sucanant (whole cane sugar)

1 tsp. sea salt

1 ½ tsps. Vanilla extract

2 eggs

Add all of the above ingredients to the pecans and process until well blended. Press into a 9” x 13” glass pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15 min.

Let cool completely and cut into squares or use a cookie cutter and cut out into circles.

Note: I always encourage everyone to use as much local, grown without chemicals ingredients (organic), and meat, eggs and dairy from animals that were/are free-ranging and were/are raised without hormones and antibiotics. Seafood should be wild from unpolluted waters.

Enjoy!
