Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups quick oats

Wet Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Process Oats: Add the quick oats to a food processor and process until they form a fine oat flour, which forms the base of the cookie dough.
  3. Add Peanut Butter and Dates: Add the natural peanut butter and the soaked, drained dates to the food processor. Process until the mixture sticks together when pinched between your fingers, forming a cohesive dough.
  4. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and arrange them on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Flatten each ball gently into a cookie shape since they won’t spread during baking.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F, rotating the cookie sheet halfway through baking. Check the bottoms at 10 minutes; they should be golden brown, while the tops will remain mostly unchanged.
  6. Cool and Store: Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Store the cookies covered at room temperature for 7 to 10 days.

Notes

  • Use fresh natural peanut butter for best texture and flavor.
  • Soaking dates softens them, making the dough easier to process and bind.
  • The cookies do not spread during baking, so shape them before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
