Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups quick oats
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter *use a fresh jar
  • 1 ½ cups pitted dates *soak them in hot water for 10 minutes

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the oats to the food processor and process it into a flour.
  • Add the peanut butter and soaked dates and process until the dough sticks together when you pinch it in your fingers.
  • Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls and line them up on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Form the balls into a cookie shape - they won't spread out when they bake.
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet half way through. Check the bottoms at 10 minutes - they should be brown. The tops don't really change colour.
  • Let cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a rack. Store covered at room temperature for 7-10 days.
