Delicious, Ooey-Gooey, Oatmeal Peanut Butter Date “Squares”
(or in my case, Date Circles lol)
These cookies are VERY Fibre Rich, SUPER Nutrient-Packed & EXTREMELY Delicious!
NO-Added Sugar. No-Chemical or Preservatives. NO Artificial Sweeteners. JUST NO JUNK!
Ingredients;
🌱3/4 CUPS DATES
🌱1/3 CUP WATER
🌱1 CUP ROLLED OATS
🌱3/4 CUP OAT FLOUR (I just took a cup of rolled oats and made it into flour)
🌱1 SCOOP PEA PROTEIN (Optional, but will add extra protein, but NOT Needed!)
🌱1 TBSP CINNAMON
🌱1/4 TSP SALT
🌱1/4 TSP BAKING POWDER
🌱1/4 CUP PEANUT BUTTER
🌱1/2 WATER (yes additional to the 1/3 listed above)
Directions;
🌿Pre heat oven to 350 F
🌿Mix together in a blender or food processor dates and 1/3 Cup water (if you have neither processor or blender – add the water and dates to a pot on the stove and stir until melted/a thick syrup like consistency)- set this aside as it will be the “filling”.
Separately in another bowl mix together all other DRY ingredients then add the peanut butter & the other 1/2 cup of water. Mix will (maybe even mix with your hands, as yes, the mix should be more “dry”/“crumbly”.
🌿I used a silicone muffin pan and my batter made EIGHT DATES. I just took equal parts of my batter and lined the bottom of 8 muffin holes, then I scooped out equal parts of the date filling and placed on all 8 “batter bottoms” then I took more batter (equal parts) and add it to the top!
🌿Bake in oven on 350F for 20 minutes!
DELICIOUS, NUTRIENT PACKED SNACK! High fibre, high potassium, iron filled, & GOOD FOOD FOR OUR GUT BACTERIA! & PLEASE DON’T be scared of the “Sugar” in the dates. They are crazy healthy for us! Especially for our ♥️ & 💩 (heart and colon) lol.
