Guilt-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
http://eatyourselfskinny-printablerecipes.blogspot.com/2013/03/clean-oatmeal-raisin-cookies.html
" Let me just begin by saying, these cookies have absolutely NO eggs, oil, sugar or butter.....BOOM. A winner in my book already. Now I'm well aware those ingredients pretty much encompass everything that people love about a cookie, but these taste insanely good and without the guilt!
Believe it or not they taste a lot like banana bread, probably because bananas are used as the main component which hold all the ingredients together. I subbed plain Greek yogurt for the oil and sweetened these up with some vanilla extract, cinnamon and allspice. I promise you, this recipe is definitely worth saving and is great for a quick breakfast when you're on the go. They also freeze really well too! " ~ Kelly ~

Here are your ingredients:
1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 cup mixed nuts, finely chopped (I used pecans, walnuts and almonds)
1 cup raisins
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In one bowl, combine rolled oats, coconut flakes, salt, cinnamon, allspice and chopped mixed nuts. Stir in raisins and set aside.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth and all lumps are gone. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.
Using a round cookie cutter (or shape with your hands), spoon mixture into the cutter pressing firmly then removing the cutter. Shape should keep form; do this until you have 20 cookies or you run out of batter.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 to 20 minutes and enjoy!

OK made a batch. Nice, but for my taste they are a work in progress and have infinite varitions. I didn't have the full weight of raisins so made it up with dried apricots.
I'm thinking apricots or dried cranberries would work well.
The first bake recommended didn't work for me. So I gave them another 10 minutes at a lower temperature resulting in a crisper texture which suited me better.
Cookies/biscuits should be sweet to me. So next time I'll add some Stevia to satisfy that craving. As it is they have had a dip in some dark 70% chocolate.0 -
My favorite kind of cookie. Do these turn out soft and chewy (my preferred result) or are they crumbly?0

My first bake as per the recipe, was soft and chewy(ish). Which is why I gave them longer. Cookies to me are chewy, biscuits, which may be my British taste are crisper.0 -
