Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Step 2

In a small bowl add the dates with hot water for 10 minutes. Then strain them. In the meantime, blend the oats in a food processor and set them aside.

Step 3

Mix wet ingredients: Add dates, non-dairy milk (we used almond milk), almond butter, salt, and vanilla extract into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Step 4

Make the dough: Add the blended oats and baking powder to the food processor and blend until a dough. If needed, scrape down the sides of the food processor.

Step 5

Form the cookies: Make 1 Tablespoon-sized balls and roll them. Place the balls on a baking tray with baking paper or silicone paper. Flatten them with your fingers or with the back of the fork.

Step 6

Bake them for 15 minutes at 180°C.

Step 7

Recommendation: Let rest 5 minutes and then add melted chocolate and chopped pistachios.
