Ingredients

2 C whole oat groats

1 C dates, without pits

1 apple, cored

1/2 C raisins

2/3 C walnuts, chopped

dash of salt (optional)

Directions

Soak the oat groats, dates, and raisins separately overnight, then rinse the oats. Drain the dates and raisins, but save the water from the fruit. Chop apple and dates in a food processor until pea-size or slightly smaller. Put them into a bowl and without rinsing the processor, put in the oats, cinnamon, and salt (if using salt). Grind on high until mealy, adding the raisin and/or date soak water to help it mix smoothly. Stir the oat mixture into the apple/date mixture, then add the raisins and walnuts. Spoon onto a teflex sheet or parchment paper on a dehydrator tray and flatten slightly to speed the dehydrating. The number of cookies depends on the size. I put 16 on each tray, for a total of 36. Dehydrate at 125 F for an hour to remove some of the moisture quickly and prevent fermentation, then at 115 F until cookie-like in texture (about another 8 hours). They do not need to be totally crisp. The cookies freeze well, and can be thawed when desired. These cookies make good travel snacks, although they are crumblier than bars.

Variations:
Omit nuts for a really low-fat cookie
Add lemon or orange zest
Add cacao nibs
