Raw Oatmeal Cookie Bites

Yield: 12-15 cookies

3/4 cup rolled oats

3/4 cup raw cashews

10 pitted medjool dates

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil, we used cacao butter instead

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup raisins, currants, or vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Put the oats, cashews, and dates in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, and process until the mixture sticks together. Add the optional raisins and pulse to combine.

Form the mixture into small balls and dehydrate for several hours. Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, Raw Oatmeal Cookie bites will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator and 2 months in the freezer.
