The why behind this recipe 👇🏻

We have been on a mission to continue to lower ⬇️ our sugar intake. It’s an ongoing journey that we often falter on 🥴 hands up if you are guilty too?

I wanted to be able to still have a cookie that wouldn’t sky rocket our sugar intake! So meet 👇🏻

The Healthier Date Cookies

Makes 12

1/2 cup creamy almond or peanut butter

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

4 tablespoons maple syrup

1 chia seed egg (see below) or normal egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 3/4 cup almond meal

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups dates

Bang everything into a bowl and mix well. Evenly spoon out on to a lined tray to make 12 cookies . Bake at 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool before eating if you can wait that long 😆

My favourite way to do egg free is using chia seeds. It’s super easy 1 Tbsp chia seeds + 2.5 Tbsp water. Mix together and let it sit for 5 minutes until it’s thickened up 🙌 works as a great substitute in most baking.

Mix them up with some #organic orange zest and squeeze of juice or substitute the dates with nuts or chocolate chips or even both 😆
