Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Pitted dates
- 120 grams Gluten-free rolled oats
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 ml Coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pitted dates in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the dates and add them to a blender or food processor. Blend until they form a smooth paste, scraping down the sides as needed.
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
Add the date paste and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each ball.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your palm.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
