Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Pitted dates
- 100 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Rolled oats
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, add the pitted dates and pulse until they form a sticky paste.
Transfer the date paste to a mixing bowl and add unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
In another bowl, mix together almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Press down slightly on each cookie to flatten them a little as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
