½cupraisins
½cupdried cherries or cranberries
1teaspooncinnamon
½teaspoonpure vanilla extract
Instructions
Place steel cut oats into a bowl and cover with water. Allow to soak for one hour, then drain water and use hands to squeeze excess moisture from the oats.
Place all ingredients into a high speed blender or the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until everything is well incorporated.
Use a kitchen scale to divide mixture into 1 ounce portions (about the size of a walnut), or measure 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie.
Flatten each portion into the shape of a round cookie. Eat immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. When well covered, these should stay fresh for a couple of weeks.
