Raw Oatmeal Bites | Easy Raw Cookie RecipeIf you have been following me here long, you know that I am on a journey to healthier food choices. So, when I saw the trend towards “raw food” especially in regards to sweet treats, well, I had to try some out for myself! I was a bit hesitant if my children would go for this, after all, there is no sugar, no flour, no butter, and no baking. My daughter practically inhaled these.

Guess what? They only have 5 ingredients (minus the salt). Plus they are a breeze to make. Quick, no mess, and they taste amazing.

Now the best part about these is that you can really add according to your personal tastes. I kept these super simple, but next time I am going branch out and add one of the following:

  • coconut
  • nuts: walnuts, cashews, pecans
  • dried fruit: dried cranberries, cherries, blueberries or raisins
  • honey, maple syrup
  • nut butter: peanut, almond
  • mini chocolate chips

Here is the simple, basic base for this recipe. If you add more dry ingredients, you need to add a binding agent like honey, maple syrup or more coconut oil.

    Where do you find a good deal on pitted dates?

    Do you think safflower oil would work as a sub for coconut oil?

    Thanks for posting the recipe!
