No-Bake Oatmeal Walnut Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseeds, ground
  • 2 tablespoons water, warm
  • 1 1/2 cup dates, pitted
  • 1 cup walnuts, halves or pieces
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons date or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

    1: Soak the flaxseeds in 2 tablespoons warm water. Set aside.
    2: Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
    3: Add the dates, walnuts and oats to a food processor. Process until crumbly and no big pieces are left. Scrape down the sides if needed.
    4: Add the flax mixture, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Process until the mixture holds together. Add a bit of water if the dough is too dry to hold together.
    5: One tablespoon at a time, roll the dough into balls.
    6: Place the dough balls on the baking sheet. Flatten them down slightly with a fork, making a crisscross pattern. (Dip the fork in water if the dough sticks to the fork.)
    7: Refrigerate 4 - 6 hours or until the cookies are firm.

Notes

Soak your dates in water if they are very dry. Drain them before adding.
