Yield: 7 big cookies

Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup Instant/porridge Oats
• 1/2 - 1 cup plain Flour
• 1/2 cup Dates , chopped
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup coconut Oil
• 1 Cup beaten egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• Optional: 1 Tablespoon cocoa
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Method

• Preheat oven to 180° C
• Blend oats roughly in blender- I like to leave about 1/4 unblended for texture
• Mix together oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa if you’re adding
• In a separate bowl mix together melted coconut oil, sugar, chopped dates and vanilla- stir until sugar dissolves.
• Mix wet and dry ingredients and add egg. If the mixture is too dry, add some milk, if it’s too dry, add some more flour.
• Grease a baking tray and add balls of dough and flatten with a fork or your fingers.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes and allow to cool.
