If anyone is looking for a quick healthy snack to take with them to work or just on the go these are for you. I make these cookies about once a week and they last about 3 to 5 days...not because they go bad. They only last that long because they are eaten in that short amount of time!
You will need:
- A food processor
- measuring cups
- plastic wrap
- refrigerator
Ingredients:
- 2 Cup Packed pitted dates
- 3/4 Cup Organic crunchy peanut butter (check the ingredients to make sure its JUST peanuts and no sugar)
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened dried cranberries
- 1/8 Cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 T. Cold milled ground flax
- 1 tea. Chia seeds
- 1/8 tea. Sea salt
- 1/2 Cup Oats
- 1 tea. Raw honey
About this much peanut butter
Throw all ingredients into the food processor. Pulse it a few times to throw the ingredients around. Then turn it on and let it blend until it is well mixed.
Dump the mixture onto a flat clean surface.
Shape into any shape you want, I love them best in the shape of cookies.
Wrap each one individually and keep in the fridge. These are the most amazing snacks. The Chia and flax give these cookies Omega-3s and energy from the chia and honey. Dates are a good source of fiber and the peanut butter has a lot of protein! Enjoy these and get creative to make almost any kind of cookie you want.
