Equipment

  • 1 Small bowl for soaking the raisins
  • 1 Big bowl for mixing the batter
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raisins soaked, drained
  • 2 cups rolled oats use certified GF oats if needed
  • ¾ cup applesauce see notes for substitution
  • ½ cup coconut flakes
  • ½ cup hazelnuts finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoon cacao powder unsweetened
  • 5 tablespoon pure maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 6 tablespoon almond milk or any dairy-free milk

Instructions
 

  • First, place the raisins in a bowl and cover them with hot tap water to soften them before folding them into the batter. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes or overnight to rehydrate and plump them up.

  • While raisins are soaking, finely chop up the hazelnuts. After that, preheat the oven to 338°F / 170°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Use a ¼ measuring cup to scoop the batter and drop it onto a prepared baking sheet. The cookies won't spread so, use your fingers to flatten them slightly and give them some shape.Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer your raisin cookies on a wire rack and let them cool before serving

  • Now, your chewy raisin cookies are ready to be devoured. Enjoy them with a cup of tea, coffee, or a non-dairy hot chocolate (my fav). You can keep them in an airtight container, at room temperature for 2-3 days. Or store them up to a week, refrigerated, in a sealed container. Store cooled cookies in a freezer-friendly container in the freezer for up to a month.

Notes

  • You can substitute applesauce with the same amount of mashed banana
  • Use chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans instead of hazelnut. You can omit hazelnuts for a nut-free version
  • If your batter is too dry add a spoonful of milk at a time to make it easily manageable to form cookies
