Really Good Raw Vegan Oatmeal Cookies Food

REALLY GOOD RAW VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Start by grounding the first cup of oats into flour using a blender. Once a rough flour is formed, add to a bowl with whole oats, coconut sugar, ginger, and cinnamon.
• In a food processor, process pecans, dates, and coconut oil until a smooth-ish "dough" is formed - the dough should ball up in the food processor.
• Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients in a bowl until a sticky dough is formed. I found it best to mix dough with your hands!
• If the dough doesn't clump together, add up until 3 Tbs of water until it sticks. If dough is too thin, add a little more oat flour incrementally.
• Using an ice cream scoop, form little dough balls and flatten with hands into cookies.
• On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, dehydrate cookies in your oven at its lowest setting for two hours, checking halfway for doneness. When done, cookies should hold their shape but still be a bit soft in the middle.
• Start by draining the cashews from the water they soaked in. Add drained cashews to a blender with almond (or other plant) milk, vanilla, coconut oil, and coconut nectar. (If you haven't any coconut nectar, maple syrup can be used as well.)
• Blend frosting until it's smooth and creamy. Scoop a dollop of frosting on each cookie, and top with a little bit of cinnamon.
• Enjoy!

OATMEAL COOKIES (RAW VEGAN)

Steps:

• Put oat groats in food processor and grind until fine. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Put almonds in food processor and pulse a few times to chop them until just coarsely chopped. Transfer to bowl with the oats.
• Add raisins and agave nectar to bowl and mix everything well.
• Grind cashews in coffee grinder, and use this to coat your palms as you handle the cookie batter.
• Take small chunks of dough and flatten into rounds on the mesh sheet of a dehydrator tray.
• Dehydrate for about 12 hours on 110 degrees. Dehydrating time needed will vary according to how thick you've made the cookies, and the desired chewy/crunchy-ness. :).

RAW VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix the bran cereal, granola, cranberries, raisins, almonds and walnuts together in a large bowl. Crush any large pieces of cereal. Set aside.
• Add the banana and the jam to the mix.
• Melt the peanut butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until fully melted.
• Quickly add the peanut butter to the mixture and mix thoroughly; messy part!
• Scoop handful (or however big you want individual cookie to be) into tray and form into a cookie shape. Press firmly together.
• Wrap each individual cookie with cling wrap and mould into cookie shape again, making sure it's nice and firm.
• Put in the freezer overnight.
• (For better results, keep in freezer and take out when wanting a snack, cooling cookie for maybe 10 minutes.).
