3 Ingredient No Bake Healthy Cookies (Nut free)
An easy no bake recipe with just three ingredients. These chewy sweet cookies are made without peanut butter, nuts, flour, eggs or refined sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (approx 180 grams) pitted medjool dates , 1 cup is around 10 dates
- 2 ½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup quick oats
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Pulse dates in food processor until they are fully blended and the mixture becomes a sticky paste.
- Add in cocoa powder. Pulse again until cocoa powder is completely incorporated into the date paste. The cocoa powder should cause your paste to break up into small clumps.
- Add quick oats and pulse again until oats are completely incorporated. The mixture should still be small clumps but if you pinch the clumps together between your fingers, they should stick. If your mixture appears to be a little too dry, add 1-2 tbsp water and pulse again. Taste and adjust dough as needed. You can add a little more cocoa powder if you want a stronger chocolate flavor. If your mixture is so sticky that you can't hold and roll it, add 1-2 more tbsp oats.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and release onto prepared cookie sheet. Roll each dough ball between your palms to compact it further. Place cookie balls back onto sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Press down on balls to form round disks/cookie shape. You can do this with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
- If desired, you decorate the cookies with melted unsweetened chocolate. You can drizzle it over the cookies or dip half of each cookie in the melted chocolate. Place cookies either in the fridge or freezer for chocolate to set. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge or freezer.
