Total time: 
Serves: 12 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Rolled Oaks
  • 10 Whole Dates (Pitted and Chopped)
  • ½ Cup Peanut Butter (We love using coconut peanut butter if you can find it!)
  • ¼ Cup Dried Coconut Flakes
  • ¼ Cup Vegan Chocolate Chips
  • 5 Tbsp Almond Milk (or any nut milk will work)
  • 3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Pit and chop the dates. Add the oats, chopped dates, peanut butter, coconut flakes and almond milk to a food processor. Blend until well combined and no large pieces of dates remain.
  3. Add the baking powder, cocoa powder and vanilla into the food processor. Process until all is incorporated and a large ball of dough forms in the machine.
  4. Transfer the dough to a bowl and stir in chocolate chips.
  5. With a spoon, make appropriately sized balls and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Using a fork or your fingers flatten them down on the pan forming the cookies.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool.
  7. Serve immediately or store for up to 4 days in an air-tight container.
  8. Enjoy.
