there is nothing in the recipe that requires baking for it be safe to eat. But flour is not good eaten raw and I can not imagine how all of those ingredients would bind together. I think something was left out of this recipe; be it more ingredients or cooking directions, I dk. A way I can think that might work is add raw oatmeal. Sorta like baking a no bake cookie. And yes if you think you want to make these regardless keep them in the fridge. The cold might help them bind, though I doubt it.
Here is a recipe I found; hope all this helps
