ingredients
directions
- Using a food processor, blend the soaked oat groats in a food processor until the batter comes together. Put into a large bowl.
- In the food processor pulse the almonds (or hazelnuts) until you have a course chop. Remove and add to the oat groats.
- Add the goji berries, cacao nibs and your sweetner. Keep in mind the sweetner will affect the taste, but it probably will be good no matter which one you use.
- Also the liquid sweetener will make this very very sticky. If you want to cut back on the sweetener that wouldn't hurt.
- Mix all the ingredients in the bowl well.
- Grind the cashews to a fine powder. Be careful not to let them grind too long, you don't want cashew butter.
- Put the cashews in a flat bowl and spread it out evenly on the bottom.
- Using a tablespoon measure scoop out some of the oat mixture and put it in the cashew powder and roll to coat.
- When done all the little balls, put them into the dehydrator to dry. Use the plastic mesh sheets for these, not the slippery teflex ones.
- Drying can take up to 12 hours at 110'F, depending on how thick your cookies are.
- Pat each ball down to the desired thickness. Also how dry it is in your house can affect the drying time, so check them now and again during the first 6 hours.
- At about 6 hours flip the cookies and dry another 6 hrs if necessary.
- These look so pretty with the bright goji berries and the dark cacao nibs. Its very festive! You could also add some dried cranberries/blueberries or whatever you have in the pantry.
- Bon Appetit!

These are good. I added 1/2 c each chopped cashews and almonds and skipped the rolling step in the cashew powder to save time.

I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent.
In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico.
I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music.
My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free!
We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert.
I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not.
Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
