Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 ½ cups quick oats
½ cup natural peanut butter (*use a fresh jar)
1 ½ cups pitted dates (*soak them in hot water for 10 minutes)

Steps:

  • Set the oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the oats to the food processor and process it into a flour.
  • Add the peanut butter and soaked dates and process until the dough sticks together when you pinch it in your fingers.
  • Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls and line them up on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Form the balls into a cookie shape - they won't spread out when they bake.
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet half way through. Check the bottoms at 10 minutes - they should be brown. The tops don't really change colour.
  • Let cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a rack. Store covered at room temperature for 7-10 days.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe dates: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe, soft dates. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor will make quick work of chopping the dates and oats. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates and oats by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape better. This is especially helpful if you're using a soft dough.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them crisp up on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside.

These sugar-free date cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make, and they're packed with nutrients like fiber, potassium, and antioxidants.
