Here’s an easy, no-bake, quick little recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies that taste almost like oatmeal raisin cookie dough, but they’re safe to eat raw because they’re vegan, and oh so good.

5 Minute Raw Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – or Cookie Dough Balls (Gluten, Soy, & Dairy Free) 1/2 c dry oats (most oats are not technically raw but source true raw oats or certified gluten-free oats, if desired) 1/4 c pitted medjool dates (about 4-6 juicy, fresh dates) 1/4 cup raisins 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I say, yes!) Yields: 12 small cookies, feel free to double the recipe

Optional Add-Ins & Extras: Coconut flakes at the end Coconut flakes in the mixture Put Chocolate/Carob Chips in the mixture or hand-press some in at the end Roll in carob/cocoa powder/cocoa nibs Use gogi berries instead of raisins or another dried fruit like cranberries, craisins, apricots Omit the dates and just use 1/2 c raisins if you don’t have dates Dash of agave or coconut oil if mixture is too dry

First, lightly grind or pulse the oats & then add the medjools in your VitaMix or food processor

Blend again

Then add in the raisins & cinnamon, vanilla extract if you choose. Blend again.

Here’s what your oats-medjools-raisins dough looks like

Take your dough out…

…and form into cookie pattiesor balls

Containerize or pack for on the go lunches, snacks, what-ev.

I thought they were looking a little naked. So I decided to garnish each cookie with a few raisins.

Ahhh, much better.

Voila, enjoy!
