cherry coconut cookies

1/2 cup cherries pipped and chopped
1/2 cup medjool dates* pipped and chopped
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 banana, mashed
1 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup SR flour (i used gluten free)
1/2 cup almond meal
1/4 cup ground chia seeds
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

mix all ingredients and add enough water to make a sticky but not runny mixture. you may need to add more flour if the fruit and oil has wetted the mixture more than expected. You may want to blend all the fruits and rolled oats if you don't want a chunky biscuit.
add more desiccated coconut if you wish and/or some nut butter.
spoon clumps of mixture onto tray greased with a little coconut oil. biscuits won't rise much so no need to spread them out too much.
bake in a moderate oven until slightly browned on the surface (between 10 and 20 mins depending on how big you make the biscuits). allow to cool. store in fridge for a up to a week.

* i only purchase medjool dates. i find other kinds of dates (like the common ones found in major supermarket chains) are not as juicy. your local organic food coop should have them for sale.
