1) Remove the stones from the dates and add dates with coconut oil to a saucepan. Melt and mash the dates into the coconut oil. 

2) Separately, blend oats, almonds, salt and your preferred spice into a flour.

3) Mix the date, coconut oil mixture with your spiced oat and almond flour.

4) Lastly fold in the roughly chopped dark chocolate. You are welcome to add more if you fancy.

5) Now shape those delicious cookies, and give the dough a little taste! (Best thing about making plant-based cookies is that the dough is safe to eat! It can also be an issue, as the dough is so good that its easy to eat it all! But hold back! Baked as cookies this dough is even better!)

Now! Ready To Bake!

Use oven setting bottom and upper heating (no fan). 180c. Bake these delicious cookies for 12 minutes. They will be soft when you remove them from the oven. Let them cool or eat warm with a spoon. 

TIPS:

Instead of or as well as dark chocolate you can also add your favourite nuts or seeds (give them a chop as well). Like pecans, walnuts or sun flower or sesame seed. The recipe is incredibly versatile. You can also add a little more coconut oil, like 5-10g and a tbsp or two of cacao powder if you wish for more chocolate flavour.
