| Total: | 2 hr 35 min |
| Active: | 30 min |
| Yield: | about 18 truffles |
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon nonalcoholic vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak the raisins in hot water for 5 minutes, then strain.
- Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Sift into a medium bowl, then whisk in the oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt (see Cook’s Note).
- Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (Turn off the mixer and use your hands to help combine if needed.) Fold in the raisins with a rubber spatula, or mix them in with your hands.
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough, and roll them into smooth balls. Put them on the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
- Melt the butterscotch chips and shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the coating is smooth and thin. Drop the chilled balls into the coating, and roll them around with a fork to fully coat. Remove each truffle with the fork, letting any excess coating drip off, and return to the baking sheet. (If the coating begins to harden, microwave it for a few seconds to warm it up and thin it out.) Refrigerate the truffles until the coating is completely set, about 1 hour. (The truffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)

Very easy! Delicious! Used sour cream b/c didn’t have any yogurt and semi sweet chocolate b/c didn’t have butterscotch and my co-worker requested oatmeal raisin with chocolate. He liked the outcome but suggested putting something crunchy in the mix. Will try with rice crispies next time. YUM!
This recipe has become a holiday staple in my house. We use milk chocolate or salted caramel instead of butterscotch though.
Makingood right now. They are chilling as I write. Very easy recipe.
