Directions

1. Heat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet lined with parchment.
   
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oats, psyllium husk powder, baking soda, and ground spices. Break open one of the ORGANIC INDIA masala chai tea infusion bags and add contents to the bowl. Whisk together the dry ingredients to evenly distribute the psyllium husk and baking soda. 
   
3. Place the remaining tea infusion bag in ¼ cup of boiled water and allow to steep 1-2 minutes. Squeeze the tea infusion bag over the water before removing for added flavor. 
   
4. Add the tea, olive oil, maple syrup and vanilla and stir to combine until a dough forms. It will be slightly sticky. 
   
5. Fold in the apples and raisins. 
   
6. Drop dough by tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving approximately one inch in between each. 
   
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly browning and reaching desired crispness. 

Let cool slightly before removing from pan. Enjoy!
