I had flax meal on hand so I am using that instead of the seed.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17615799816755259146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163374302413133512.post-61774154456032117082014-05-11T05:17:32.015-07:002014-05-11T05:17:32.015-07:00Thanks Kirsten! I've made them multiple times....Thanks Kirsten! I've made them multiple times. Those are the pictures of two batches ago. I really like them. Patrick said they were "too nutty and too crunchy" so the last time I made them I changed the recipe and made a tropical variety. I also decreased the drying/cooking time. <br />I get my dates at Trader Joes. I have also gotten them in bulk at HyVee or Whole Foods. <br />I think with a conventional oven you would want to set it as low as possible and then prop the door open to allow for the air to circulate. When you prop the door open, I read somewhere that drops the temp in the oven about 10 degrees, which is exactly what you would want. Watch them close because you don't want them to get overdone. Hope that helps!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392047155724843548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163374302413133512.post-13035782739717439002014-05-09T20:38:58.512-07:002014-05-09T20:38:58.512-07:00They sound delicious!
