Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats Make sure they are fresh and organic if possible. You can also substitute with gluten-free oats if you’re avoiding gluten.
  • 1 cup pitted dates Medjool dates are the best for this recipe due to their softness and sweetness. Dried apricots can work as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter Choose natural, creamy peanut butter without added sugars or oils. Sunflower seed butter is an excellent alternative for nut allergies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats and pitted dates together until they form a coarse, sticky dough.
  3. Incorporate the peanut butter into the mix and process until everything is evenly combined and smooth.
  4. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each mound.
  5. Slightly flatten each cookie mound with your hand or the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and centers appear set.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, up to 1 week in the fridge, or freeze for up to 3 months. Wrap individual cookies in parchment paper if freezing.
