You will need:

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 12 soft Medjool dates
  • 1 chia or flax egg (1 tablespoon ground chia or flax seeds + 3 tablespoons water)
  • 1 cup melted dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling the cookies
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare your baking tray by greasing it with some organic oil or lining it with reusable parchment paper.

2. Add all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until it clumps into a ball. Roll into little balls of dough.

3. Roll the balls in a bowl of shredded coconut before placing them on the baking tray.

4. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until the coconut turns golden. Leave to cool for around 10 mins before removing and placing on a cooling rack. They can either be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator in a closed container for about a week. They also freeze well.
