Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 2/3 cup solid coconut oil
  • 4 Tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cups gluten free oats ground down in the food processor or high speed blender
  • 1 1/2 cups almond meal ground down whole almonds in a food processor or store bought almond meal
  • 1 cup raisins

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add in the baking soda, baking powder, ground down oats, ground down almonds or almond meal, and raisins to the mixture and stir together well.
  3. Spoon out and mold 24 balls of dough with your hand and place on 2 baking sheets lined with baking paper.
  4. Bake at 350 for 15-19 minutes depending on your oven. You can always take them out if you are unsure and let them bake a little more on the hot baking sheet. My oven takes 19 and I still let them sit on the hot baking sheet for a bit before removing them. ENJOY!

Notes

What is almond meal?
Almond meal is whole almonds ground down with their skins on. You can buy actual almond meal (I grabbed mine from Trader Joe's) or just grind down your own almonds in a food processor really well. Almond meal makes the cookies more moist than regular almond flour. If you want to substitute the 1 1/2 cups almond meal for almond flour though, use 2 cups of almond flour. I've learned from the back of the Trader Joe's bag that you generally substitute 50% the amount of almond meal to another flour, but since this recipe also has oat flour, the proportions work.
Almond meal is also darker in color than almond flour because the skins are still on. So the look of your cookie will differ depending on what you use. If you use almond flour the end result will make a lighter, less textured cookie.
Almond meal with lose moisture fairly quickly though, so the cookies are best eaten fresh.
Substituting ground down oats for oat flour
If you use store bought oat flour instead of grinding down your own oats, use the same amount. 2 cups oat flour or 2 cups ground down oats.
