Oat cookies

Makes a tray in the dehydrator, about 20

Lovely light cookie without nuts and seeds apart from the coconut.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup buckwheaties/oats
  • 1/4 cup dried coconut
  • 1 cup partially hydrated apricots and figs
  • 1 tablespoon coconut butter
  • pinch salt
  • ground flax and carob/mesquite flour for dusting

Preparation

Soak dried apricots and figs in warm water for 10 mins to partially soften. Grind up buckwheat and oats in vitamix until fine. Process all the ingredients in the food processor until a ball of dough forms. Now, flour your worktop with some ground flax and carob flour. Take half the dough and roll out flat (about 1/2cm thick) or as thick or thin as you want your cookies. I like mine very thin. Place on your dehyrator tray without teflex. Prick cookies with a fork, I do them 3 times in the middle just to make sure they dry easier. Leave on 145 for one hour then flip over and turn down to 115 until they are as dry or chewy as you like them. You can use them to make a sandwich with apricot jam inside and cream on top, be creative!

oh wow this sounds amazing i’m gonna try it this weekend. Just a quick question on the oats…do you think these ones will do <a href=”http://www.sainsburystoyou.com/webconnect/shopping/details/product_detail.jsp?bmUID=1189024440998&NEW_NAVIGATOR%3C%3Elevel_0_id=0&NEW_NAVIGATOR%3C%3Elevel_1_id=1&NEW_NAVIGATOR%3C%3Elevel_2_id=8847271&NEW_NAVIGATOR%3C%3Elevel_3_id=8829493&NEW_NAVIGATOR%3C%3Elevel_4_id=8830273&NEW_NAVIGATOR%3C%3Elevel_5_id=36087”>Oats</a> I couldn’t see the processing information unfortunately :( Do you use Wheatbran at all, is that raw???

Many thanks! P.S. all of your recipes looks soooo good, thanks for sharing :)

Daria, I’m not sure what you were saying about not seeing the processing info. Just grind up the oats or whatever grain you have. Buckwheat that has been sprouted and dried works well too.
