I was going through my old journal to find some of the recipes I've written in the past, and I've found a couple. Here's one:

Okay, so I was using my handy chopper to grind some pumpkin seeds for the split pea soup I'm making, and decided to save a little bit for an experiment. I guessed on the measurements when I wrote it out, but here you go!
"Yogurt" seed spread
About:
3tb ground raw pumpkin seeds
1tb ground raw sesame seeds
1tb raw tahini
2tb ground raw flax (ground in the coffee grinder)
1t kelp powder
1 1/2 t raw organic apple cider vinegar
splash of extra virgin olive oil (cold pressed!)
A nice squirt of lime juice (long enough to say "Mmmm.." :)
small squeeze of raw blue agave
2tb water (enough to activate the flax so it coagulates, and just to generally cream the paste out)
2tb Maple syrup, or to taste (I use grade B maple)
pinch of salt
Add everything into a bowl but the maple syrup. Stir and let sit for a couple minutes (so the flax can do its thing) and then when you come back to it, it should have thickened considerably. That's when you can add the maple... I used about 2 tablespoons, I think. :)
Makes about 1 hefty cup.
I spread it on some bread that I toasted with Earth Balance in a frying pan, but you can use anything you'd like. Some chopped bananas with this spooned over would be great. :)
I'm really surprised though, because it tastes like yogurt. The mix of the tahini, syrup, and apple cider vinegar I think is what did it. It's very tasty. :)
