Food Babe's Forever Cookies
Author: Food Babe
Serves: 20
- 1 ripe banana cut into small pieces
- 4 dates chopped
- 4 prunes chopped
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ⅔ cups of nut meal (I like almonds and pecans – I smash them into meal by hand using my rolling pin)
- ½ cup of unsweetened coconut flakes
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp aluminum free baking powder (if baking)
- 7 ounces good dark chocolate chopped into pieces or chips or dried unsweetended cherries
- If Baking:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a blender – Combine banana, dates, prunes, coconut oil and vanilla and blend until smooth
- In a large bowl combine all other ingredients and mix so all components are equally distributed
- Pour blender mixture into dry ingredients and stir until batter is moist and mixed well
- Place dough in fridge or freezer for at least 15 mins
- Scoop dough using an ice cream scooper onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Alternatively, you can refrigerate the dough for 30 mins to make it harder and easier to make uniform cookies
- Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 12-15 mins
- Cool cookies on a rack for at least 5 mins before consuming – otherwise they will fall apart
- If Dehydrating:
- Follow steps 2-5 above
- Place cookies on dehydrator sheets
- Dehydrate at 105 degrees for approximately 12 hours
- If Eating Completely Raw:
- Follow steps above to make the dough
- Place dough in a large zip lock bag and press to form into a wide log – you may need two bags
- Place in freezer and enjoy slices of the cookie dough anytime!
Makes approximately 20 cookies or 36 small cookies (if using a small ice cream scooper) ***Please buy all organic ingredients if possible***
