Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 0.5 cup boiling water
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.75 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let soak for about 10 minutes until softened.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add the rolled oats and stir until combined.
Once the dates are soft, drain and place them in a food processor or blender. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the date paste with the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Add the chopped walnuts and fold them into the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to flatten them slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look a bit underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the vegan chewy date cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
