Ingredients
- 4 oz Medjool dates pitted weight - 4oz = around ½ cup, well packed (see notes re alternative)
- 2 oz unsalted butter softened to room temperature and cut into chunks
- ½ egg beaten
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour plain flour
- ½ cup oats old fashioned rather than quick
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda bicarbonate of soda
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/175C.
- Roughly chop the dates and blend with the butter and egg (food processor works well).
- 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.
- Take spoonfuls and roll slightly in your hand then put on a baking tray and flatten slightly.
- 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.
