Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/175C.
  2. Roughly chop the dates and blend with the butter and egg (food processor works well).
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and either pulse a few times if using a food processor or stir until combined. If using food processor, you may need to stir at the end to get everything well-mixed.
  4. Take spoonfuls and roll slightly in your hand then put on a baking tray and flatten slightly.
  5. Bake for approximately 15mins until starting to brown.

Notes

  • If you find the dough too soft/moist, you can add another 1tbsp of flour, if needed. 
  • Instead of medjool dates, you can also use semi-hydrated 'regular' dates (typically deglat nour), sometimes called 'soft and juicy' that will blend up much easier than regular dried dates. These dates are often a bit stronger in flavor and sweetness than medjool (as well as cheaper) so can be a good option.
