Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 Dates soaked in water for 15 minutes
- ¾ cup Rolled oats certified gluten-free
- ¼ cup Collagen powder
- ¼ cup Almond butter runny
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small food processor, blend the oats and soaked dates together.
- In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix lightly.
- One by one, add in the remaining ingredients.
- Mix until a giant, slightly sticky ball forms. You’ll need to mix for a bit and consistently scrape and flip the dough.
- Using a trigger ice cream scoop portion each cookie and press firmly into the scoop so that there are no air pockets.
- Portion the no-bake protein cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking tray.
- With a fork, lightly press each cookie down and shape them to roughly ¼ inch thick.
- Pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
Notes
You want the dairy-free batter to look slightly dry but sticky. You’ll see in the video me flipping and pressing it into the ball. It looks dry but that’s what holds the cookies together without them being stocky and gooey.
Shape the cookies manually into your desired thickness.
Soaking the dates in warm water for 15 minutes allows your dates to soften up and blend much more easily.
When you blend the dates, you want some chunks to remain to give the protein cookies some texture.
The harder you press the cookies into the scoop to portion them, the better they stay together.
You can enjoy the cookies as soon as you make them but chilling them for a bit allows them to firm up for a better holding texture.
Store leftover protein cookies in the fridge in an airtight container.
Each serving is two cookies with a batch based on 10 cookies.
