Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter or 1 cup of whole Almonds
  • 1 cup pitted whole dates (scant cup, not packed)
  • 1 flax/chia egg ( 1 tablespoon each flax powder and chia seeds mixed with 1 tablespoon of water)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup oats (any type)
  • 1/2 cup crushed pecans (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts or a mixture)
  • 1/3 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix the flax/chia egg and set aside. In a food processor, add the almond butter and dates, and mix until smooth.
  3. Add in the chia/flax egg, cinnamon, baking powder, and process again until smooth.
  4. Then remove the mixture from the food processor and put it in a large bowl. Add to that the oats, nuts, and raisins and fold them in with a spatula.
  5. Scoop up gold size balls of cookie dough and place them on apartment lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-15 mins (depending on the size) until the edges are set and firm, while the centers still look a little soft.
  7. Remove them from the oven and cool them for a few mins. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Instead of almond butter, you can just process a cup of almonds in your food processor, adding the dates as you pulse. 
  • Store-bought flax eggs work well here, but I like to make them myself by mixing 1 tbsp each of ground flax seeds and chia with 1 tbsp of water. 
  • Feel free to add cranberries, chocolate chips and any chopped nuts to the cookie batter!
