raw "no bake cookie"

[1bigfamily]

I know it sounds ironic. :p I am looking for a raw version of the no bake cookie that has oatmeal and chocolate. Is there anything out there that tastes similar. I saw them at Walmart last month and now they are my downfall. If I go to Walmart and I am hungry I get them. :( I only eat one but them I give them to my family which is just as bad. Any ideas? Thanks! :)

I LOVE this recipe. This is my favorite cookie recipe that I do not dehydrate...YUM!

Yum! I just made choco-coconut cookies but these sound wonderful:)

I've never had that cookie. I made the cookie recipe on the video linked in this thread. There is also another recent thread with a similiar recipe. You don't need a dehydrator. It's impossible to mess up with these ingredients. I did mess up, and they are still FABULOUS. I think they would be good with oats. Check it out. Please post whatever you come up with. I want more no-bake cookie recipes! :)

I got a goodie I made last night and never made it too the rolling stages, but only to the mouth as is:

Orange Pecan Cookie - carol giambri

pecans
raisins
pinch of fresh lemon without skin for liquid
orange peel sliver

Play with quantities as that is how I UNcook.

Absolutely delish to the max.

Mix together in food processor.

Compliments are few from hubby and this one got one.

He loves my foods but slow to express himself.

i use to love nobake cookies!! But never once did I think about an alternative raw recipe! Awesome!

The Rawvolution book has a recipe for chocolate carob truffles and they really remind me of no-bake cookies. I don't remember the exact recipe but its basically corsely ground nuts, ground coconut, carob & cacao powder & some type of sweetener like agave or honey.
I am planning to add to the recipe: ground oat groats and maybe some finely ground jungle peanuts.

I found this in my saved recipes. Someone posted another recipe waaaayyyy back that used raw oats which Alissa sells or did - I haven't checked lately. I'll search around and see if it turns up.

Chocolate or Carob Haystacks
Makes 20 pieces

¾ cup coconut oil, liquefied
½ cup carob powder or organic cocoa powder
½ cup Rapadura, sucanat, honey or agave nectar
1/8 of a vanilla bean or 1 tsp. Vanilla extract (if using a vanilla bean, cut the bean open and use the black pulp inside. A spoon works well for scraping it out).
3 cups shredded coconut (more or less as needed)

Liquefy the coconut oil by placing a bowl of it in a bowl of hot water or put it in your dehydrator for 10 minutes.

If using Rapadura or sucanat (whole dehydrated cane juice) blend in a dry blender until it becomes powder. Blend all the ingredients except shredded coconut together on high until the batter emulsifies. Mix the batter in with the shredded coconut in a mixing bowl.

Shape into haystacks on a tray lined with wax paper. Let set up in the refrigerator or freezer, they will be soft at temperatures over 60 degrees. These will last 6-12 months in the refrigerator or freezer.

Here is the recipe I was referring to. Still did not find the original poster to give them proper credit.

Haystacks

1/2 cup coconut oil (liquified)
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
2 cups dates (pitted and chopped)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
1/2 cup almond milk
1/4 to 1/3 cup almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 inch vanilla bean (scraped)
3 cups oats flakes

Place all ingredients in a food processor, blend until well blended but still chunky, drop onto wax paper, or teflex sheet, place in fridge to stiffen up.
