These oatmeal cookies are oil free, and can actually easily be made virtually fat free as well by leaving out the coconut. This is a special treat, that I came up with while travelling and hadn't had any sweet treats for several weeks, so they hold some good memories!
- 2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water, hot
- 1 tsp cinnamon, optionally add 1/4 nutmeg and allspice
- 1 cup whole grain flour, for gluten-free use sorghum
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup coconut, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup unrefined sugar
- pinch sea salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together 1 cup of the rolled oats with the water in a large bowl. Add the cinnamon, stir to combine and leave this for a few minutes, so that the oats absorb the water.
Next, pour in the rest of the ingredients. Stir them in gently, and add more water or oats as necessary to get to a cookie batter consistency.
Spoon out onto a baking tray lined with parchment, and put in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are just starting to brown around the outside.
Pull them out, let them cool for a minute, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool fully, if you can leave them that long.
