Oatmeal Date Cookies

Oatmeal Date Cookies combine rolled oats and oat flour with chopped Medjool dates and walnuts, blended into a batter with maple syrup, coconut oil, and a flaxseed egg. These cookies have a chewy texture and natural sweetness from the dates and syrup, balanced by a mild nuttiness. Chilling the dough before baking helps maintain shape. They bake to a golden brown with a tender crumb, making a wholesome snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats old fashioned
  • ¾ cup oat flour 3 tablespoons
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 1 flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil measured in a liquid state, 2 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup Medjool dates chopped
  • ¼ cup walnut finely chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together ground flaxseed with water to make your flax egg and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients - oats, oat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  4. In another bowl combine the wet ingredients - flaxseed egg, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla.
  5. Add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Gently stir in the chopped dates and walnuts.
  6. Place dough in the fridge to setup for 30 minutes (do not skip this step).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking stone. Make sure you space the cookies out because they tend to spread a bit. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 1-2 minutes then gently move to a wire rack and cool completely before eating or transferring to a storage container for later. Store cookies in the fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Oat flour can be purchased or made by finely blending rolled oats in a food processor or blender.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and improves texture.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • The recipe is adapted from The Kind Diet's Oatmeal, Walnut, Dried Plum Cookies.
