- Pour the hot water over the raisins and cinnamon. Let stand for 10 minutes, then strain, and set aside raisins.
- In a food processor, process until smooth the applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla extract, honey, canola oil, and ground flax seed.
- With the motor running, slowly add the garbanzo beans, drained raisins, instant oatmeal, and coconut. Process until the mixture is smooth or to your desired consistency*.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at east 2-3 hours, over night is best.
*if you want the consistency a bit smoother, consider adding some of the water from the soaked raising.
** As a good substitution, i use \"Naturally More Peanut Butter\" it's a natural PB made with flax seeds- if you use this, omit the flax completely.
