Maria Lamb’s Sprouted Pinole
Ingredients
- 1 cup sprouted purple or yellow corn flour
- 1/4 cup chopped dates

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Toast the sprouted corn flour and chia seeds - Add both ingredients to a dry skillet and toast over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes.
- This step is essential, but can be tricky: If the heat is too low the corn flour won't toast; if too high, it will burn. Keep a constant eye on it and stir regularly.
- Add all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until there are no large chunks of dates remaining.
- If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until you have a thick paste.
- Form the mixture into 3 or 4 rounds, about 3/8" thick and 4-5" in diameter.
- Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 10-12 minutes until the outside forms a solid crust and begins to show small cracks.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- They can be eaten immediately or saved in the refrigerator for several days.
