Raw Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Great for breakfast, dessert, or a quick energy-boosting snack, oatmeal raisin cookies have always been my favorite, and I can still enjoy them with my raw food lifestyle!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup raisins and an additional 1/3 cup, set aside
1/2 cup coconut oil
2-3 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
2 cup oats
2 tablespoon ground flax seed
Pinch salt
Instructions:
1. Combine the applesauce, coconut oil, and first ½ cup raisins in a food processor.
2. Add in the coconut, oats, flax seed and salt, pulsing until the mixture forms a
bowl. If it is still too wet, add some more coconut or oats. If it is too dry, add additional applesauce or coconut oil. Quantities will vary depending on your climate.
3. Once the cookie dough has reached a consistency you like, fold in the remaining 1/3 cup of raisins.
4. Form the mixture into cookies and refrigerate until firm.
5. Cover and store the cookies in the fridge, as they soften at room-temperature.
