Ingredients
-
8 pitted dates
-
2 cups moist almond pulp from making almond milk
-
⅓ cup rolled oats
-
¼ cup almond milk
-
3 tablespoons blanched almond flour
-
2 tablespoons coconut flour
-
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
-
1 tablespoon applesauce
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-
1 tablespoon cacao nibs, ground
-
4 pinches ground cinnamon
-
4 dashes salt
-
1 dash ground nutmeg
-
¼ cup water (Optional)
-
⅓ cup chopped vegan dark chocolate
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper.
-
Soak dates in hot water until soft, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain.
-
Combine dates, almond pulp, oats, almond milk, almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, cacao nibs, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a food processor. Process to the consistency of cookie dough, adding water if needed.
-
Roll 1 tablespoon of cookie dough with your hands. Pinch sides with your fingers to form a square. Place on the prepared baking sheet and press down with your fingers or a fork to flatten slightly. Repeat with remaining dough.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
-
Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle melted chocolate over cookies.
Cook's Note:
Optional variations: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt on top. Add 1 tablespoon freshly ground ginger or omit cocoa powder and add 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or 1/3 cup chocolate chips.
