This is as close to a healthy cookie as it's going to get! The finished product tastes more like cookie dough than a baked cookie, but that's probably why I love them so much. Made with raw oats and no processed flour, these little buggers won't spike your blood sugar levels like a regular cookie would. The nuts add protein and the coconut oil is full of fats that are actually GOOD for you.
1 cup raw rolled oats
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
dash of cinnamon
water
1/2 cup raisinsDirections:
Using your food processor, grind up the cashews and half of the oats into a fine powder.
Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and up to a tablespoon of water, if needed. Pulse until a paste like consistency is reached.
Add the rest of the oats and pulse until combined. Stir in raisins. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture (pressing against the side of the bowl) and drop by spoonfuls on a plate or piece of waxed paper. Cool in the refrigerator until firm. Eat & enjoy.
