Ingredients

  • 8 pitted dates
  • 2 cups moist almond pulp from making almond milk
  • 1/3 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)
  • 1/3 cup chopped vegan dark chocolate

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper.

Step 2
Soak dates in hot water until soft, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
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.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool.

Step 6
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.
