These oil and sugar free plant based cookies are a rich and sweet treat that can be used as a nostalgia transport vehicle.
We made this in our Weekly Cooking Class!
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup Medjool dates, softened
1 cup raw walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground flax
¼ cup raisins
1/3 cup nut or seed butter
1/3 cup unsweetened plant milk
Optional: 1 teaspoon baking powder*
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Microwave pitted dates for 30 seconds or soak for 5 minutes in hot water.
In a food processor, add everything except oats and raisins. Blend until crumbly.
Add oats and combine well. Mixture should be a thick dough.
Stir in raisins by hand or pulse food processor 3 to 5 times to evenly distribute and break up a little.
Roll into 1-inch balls and press into cookies or shape into rectangles on parchment lined baking sheet. (Tip: Refrigerate dough for one hour and/or wet hands to prevent sticking while forming.)
Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy!
