Oat and Coconut Macaroon Cookies

These macaroon cookies, I think, are better than the real thing! They do not last long in my house and are so bite size that you constantly feel you want another one! These cookies are also suitable for raw vegan as there is no baking involved.




 Ingredients 

  • 100g of shredded coconut
  • 50g of jumbo rolled oats 
  • 1 1/2tbs / 2tbs of carob powder (or you can use raw cacao powder /  cocoa powder - but use 3tbs instead - but carob powder is far cheaper than cocoa/ cacao powder which sometimes I feel guilty using as it is soooooo expensive!) 
  • 1 packet of stevia/ truvia (I use NuNatural stevia as I think it is the best tasting and doesn't leave a bitter taste) OR alternatively you can use 75ml of honey/ maple syrup
  • 1tbs of coconut oil 
  • 4 dates
  • 75g of raisins 
  • 1tbs of peanut butter (or you can use almond butter or any other nut butter instead)
  • Optional: 20g of walnuts / cashew nuts (or any other nut of choice) 

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender 
  2. Blend to the consistency that you want (I like it with some chunky bits in)
  3. The mixture will be quite oily - but roll or press it out and I used a cookie cutter to get a nice shape for them 
  4. I put mine in a dehydrator on a low temperature setting for 2-4 hours - or I know that many of you won't have one (I don't even know how we have one!) so put them in the freezer for around 1/2 hour or 1 hour to serve them or keep in the freezer long term
  5. Eat up!
