3 Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies
These easy oatmeal cookies are just 3 ingredients. They don't contain any flour, eggs, refined sugar or oil. They are firm on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 packed cup (165 g) pitted Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural almond butter
- 1/2 cup (44 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Add dates to a food processor and blend until a paste forms. You may need to scrape the sides of your food processor a few times with a spatula to help the processor mix and blend. If your dates are a little old or dry, soak your dates first before using them to rehydrate them. See notes for more details. If your dates are soft and moist, you do not need to soak them.
- Add in almond butter and oats. Blend until a dough forms and ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop dough and place onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Press down on each dough ball with the palm of your hand so that it forms a thick round disk (about 1/2 inch thick). Smooth edges of cookies if needed.
- Bake cookies for about 10 minutes. They will not rise, spread or change much in shape but the surface should look dry and the bottoms should be a light brown.
Notes
- If you are using an older package of dates or your dates seem dry, you will need to rehydrate the dates. To rehydrate them, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes. Then drain out the water and pat dry the dates. Then add dates to food processor to make the date paste.
- Please see post if you have questions regarding ingredient substitutions.
- Make sure to use natural almond butter (no added oils in the ingredient list).
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- I use a Nordic Ware aluminum baking sheet pan* to bake these cookies.
