Raw Oatmeal Cookies
If you have been reading along, you know that I have been inspired by the raw oats that I found. I love oatmeal raisin cookies so why not try a raw food version? Using the raw flaked oats as the base, I also added raw oat flour. Marty, of Sunrise Flour Mill also hand grinds flour from the organic, unprocessed oat groats. I am still coveting my own mill. Oats and apples are the main ingredients in these cookies. A touch of cinnamon completes them. Honestly, these turned out so good I had trouble waiting for them to dehydrate! If you have kids, they will love them. And you can know that you are giving them something full of healthy ingredients. You are not going to believe that these are raw. You can order the raw flaked oats and oat flour from Sunrise Flour Mill.
Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

- 2 cups raw flaked oats
- 1 cup raw oat flour
- 1 cup apple puree
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup agave (or liquid sweetener of your choice)

- To make the apple puree: quarter and core 3 medium apples. Leave the peel on. Place in food processor and process until pureed.
- Place Oats and Oat Flour in bowl. Mix together.
- Mix in remaining ingredients in order.

Do you have to dehydrate? I don’t have a dehydrator.

Yes…as stated in the instructions, you need to dehydrate these.

This is great! I am new to the raw food diet. I am only a month in and was looking for something like this. I was just telling my daughter that we could probable make oatmeal cookies with raw oats, raisins. agave, and cinnamon. I was wondering how it would work and if they would stay together, this helps me so much. Thanks!

Just made these yesterday. had to alter it a bit. All I had was quick oat and no raisins. they tastes ok. the quick oats broke down so it was like using all oat flour. I hope to try again with the right ingredients:)

Yes…quick oats are completely different that the flaked oats. They have been much more processed so I can see why you had a problem.

You could try, but taste them first to see if you like the taste with the other ingredients. Might work!

Susan,
I made these cookies for my family today.. and both of my kids just ate the whole batch before they dehydrated completely. They where really yummy!! Thank you for the recipe. Do you have a chocolate chip cookie recipe.. do you think I can replace the raisins with chocolate nibs?
Thanks again!!

Do you think I can use all oatmeal flour vs. oat flakes?
Susan wrote on January 24, 2010
I think it would really change the texture but you can always try…
