This recipe is NOT raw if sweeteners like Maple syrup, or Agave syrup are used because they are both boiled past 105°F.
Here is an example using Coconut nectar.
Here is why…
For a food to be considered "raw", some experts state it can not be heated up past 104°F – 120°F. Coconut nectar or syrup, is produced by slowly heating this sap between 105°F – 250°F (or more depending on the company) for a period of time between 1.5 – 3 hours to thicken it into syrup. This process also causes the sap to deepen in color.
