These chewy oatmeal raisin bites are a delightful and healthy treat, perfect for a quick snack or dessert.
Grind the oats in a food processor until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
Ensure the oats are dry before grinding for a finer texture.
Pulse the cashews in the food processor until coarsely chopped, then add to the mixing bowl with the oat flour.
Avoid over-processing the cashews to maintain a nice texture.
Add the raisins and agave nectar to the mixing bowl and mix everything thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water or more agave nectar.
Shape the dough into small, round bites and place them on the mesh sheet of a dehydrator tray.
Use slightly damp hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
Dehydrate the bites at 110°F for 12 hours, or until they reach your desired level of chewiness.
Check the bites periodically to ensure they don't over-dry.
Allow the bites to cool completely before serving. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or dessert.
Store the bites in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
