Afrika?

so, i wanted a sweet treat on hand. i'm trying to approximate the Carob, qunioa rawma bar :http://gopalshealthfoods.com/bars/rawma-bars/carob-quinoa-rawmabars.html

but i'm just experimenting. i noticed that most of my ingredients are found in Africa, so i should come up with a cool name for this.

Shaka Zulu Bar?

two bananas, previously frozen
cup of soaked/sprouted millet
two tbls cocoa or carob powder
1/4 cup tahini
agave syrup, to taste, 4 tablespoons?
1/3 cup date pieces, or more
tapioca flour, about 8 tablespoons but it didn;t do much. (not african i think, but i need something to firm up the thin mixture. arrowroot or cornstarch or other thickeners would probably work as well.)

1/3 cup rice bran (hmm, not loving the taste of this. i won't add it next time. before this is tasted like chocolate pudding.)



i put a sheet of saran wrap on a dehydrator tray and now i'm drying it to get some water out. it might end up kind chewy or gummy i think, since thats what happens to dried bananas.
