5-Ingredient Vegan Gluten-Free Cookies

So Yummy…. so delicious. Thank you for sharing a good recipe with us.

Sorry, but this is a complaint born of utter frustration. I am a celiac who is allergic to eggs. So I am looking for a cookie recipe made with almond meal without egg. I love dairy butter, so I do not want to skip the butter. Nor do I want to skip the sugar. I just want to skip the EGG and the WHEAT. But this is nearly impossible to find. You either have almond cookies made with wheat flour and with a flax egg, which is no good for me, or you have a complete other cookie, made with coconut flour and/or coconut sugar and/or coconut oil (all of which I hate) and a flax egg. Why is it so hard to find recipes for GF cookies without eggs without going all the way to the other kind of cookie, a complete vegan type cookie with some fake butter? I have lots of food allergies, and I have no desire to give up any of the things that I love that I can still eat, such as dairy butter.

I want a recipe for almond cookies made from almond meal, butter, sugar, an egg replacer, and vanilla. I guess I’ll have to figure it out on my own, because with all the thousands of recipes on line, they are all either to one extreme or the other.

Expense is also an issue for me, and I cannot go out and buy the dates and the coconut sugar and all the other alternative ingredients, even if I did want to, which, as I said, I do not. I’m just a celiac with an egg allergy. Period. That’s all. Oh, and corn, and all things corn, except apparently corn starch, which seems to be okay.

So I apologize, really, for complaining, but I am just so frustrated I am pulling my hair out. No Earth Balance for me, thank you very much, and no coconut anything, ever. (I so despise the smell of coconut! I cannot bear shampoos that are scented with coconut, or anything that smells like coconut, much less tastes anything like it!)

Wow! Thank you! I constantly wanted to write on my site something like that. Can I implement a fragment of your post to my blog?

These are amazing!!! I have made numerous batches for my co-workers! Girl, You the bomb!

I don’t think I have I’ve ever left a comment on this blog, but I will say that I’ve made so many recipes from this website, the recipes are more times than not really good, and I always come back! Making these cookies for the second time!

These are awesome! Added in another ½ cup of oats and the texture worked really well. Thanks for the great recipe as always :)

I tried these cookies from a friend and decided to make my own since the ingredients are things I usually have in my kitchen. They were delicious the first time and even more so when I made them myself :). I just want to include a brief comment to the folks who are having a hard time with dates without a food processor. There is such thing as pureed dates, which you can certainly find at Middle Eastern stores. I used half a cup with the puree and the taste is good enough for me. Since pureed dates come packaged, you will have some left over for more cookies. Thanks for the recipe and I look forward o trying more from this blog.

These are awesome! I used gluten free oat flour in place of the almond meal to keep the fat down (following 80/10/10 rule) and added a handful of raisins and a teaspoon of cinnamon. I love that they are sugar, salt, and baking soda free. Will be using this as my go to base recipe for cookies all the time!

Hi, what can I substitute banana with ?

Just made these for my gym friends and they were a hit!! Thanks Dana

Amazing !!! Loved it!

I have a ninja blender and that replaced the food processor just fine (used “pulse” mode)

I also added a spoonful of peanut butter
Dark chocolate chunks
And organic blue berries.
Oven for 15 minutes.
I ate all of them. Instantly.
Going to make more.
Not going to share.

This is my first time baking on my own haha
I definitely won .
Many thanks to you.

These are delicious! I might have used to many dates since I just eyed what 1 cup might look like :) but either way, absolutely delicious!

My 4yr old says you are beautiful and that is why we should make your cookies. Good enough for me ?

What can you use in place of almond meal?

hello! I just made these with sunflower seeds instead of almond flour mainly because the price of Almonds/almondflour is super expensive in Europe. I also added 3 tablespoons of Beef gelatine (because I am trying to add more of gelatine in my diet to help correct some digestion issues) THE Point being they turned out really really well and are very satisfying. I added a pumpkin spice mix so they have great flavour. Thanks again for this super flexible cookie! even better I threw them together before work no stress!

I live in India and almond butter is next to impossible to source. Can I make it with almonds. If yes, how ? My daughter and I are allergic to peanut butter so we have to make it wit the almond butter only unless there is another alternate.

These are so good!! I added shredded coconut and dried cranberries and it was delicious. Definitely making them again!

I made these tonight and they were SOOOO good! Also very easy with only a handful of ingredients that I usually have in my kitchen anyways. Thank you for the recipe. I will definitely be making again.

Hi,
it sounds like the perfect recipe for my boyfriends parents.
Since, that parcel has to go abroad I wanted to know how long they stay okay.
Do they dry out?
Thanks :)

How it can be gluten free when you put oats inside?

I found pre-chopped dates, dumped them in a large measuring cup with water, nuked it for a minute or two (water was already hot) and then added them. They had already been sitting in hot water for maybe 4 minutes but I was trying to expedite the soaking up of water. Worked. Then I used a cookie scoop (small size) for making little balls (made it much easier than forming with two spoons or hands) and pushed a few pieces of dark choc from trader joes into the top of the cookie to press it into a somewhat disk shape. Baked first ones for 15, turned out barely tan on edges but bottom perfectly tan, choc melted but didn’t run. The 2nd batch I’m trying 18 minutes. The last will correspond to the best of the two. I doubled the recipe, didn’t add more nuts or anything b/c it had so much almond in it already and banana and dates, etc etc. I did add a little cinnamon, maybe 1/2 tsp or less to give it a cinnamon edge and didn’t notice overpowering banana so maybe that’s the trick if ppl want to cut the banana taste.
Funny part was going to two stores prior to making the recipe looking for almond flour/meal, dates and tried trader joes which I thought for sure would have almond meal and dates but not so much. Got chopped dates at the local higher end grocery store and the almond meal the same. I was shocked that TJ’s didn’t have them though. Next time I’ll use the regular dates that I bought for my regular oatmeal and see if there’s a difference. They look a LOT more moist than the chopped ones in a “Sunsweet” brand bag (not so organic I’m sure and not exactly what I had in mind but I sent my partner in to get them and that’s what she came out with -lol).They worked tho so whatever.I’ll do nice fat moist dates next time. Ok, 2nd batch with 18 min on a small cookie scoop amount worked best. I could have made them loads smaller but didn’t feel like scooping for ten years since I had double the batch so prob will end up with about 35plus cookies. They look pretty amazing like little gems. And they can’t be overdosed on or you’ll prob be running to the potty. lol Hope you try them. Not that hard since you can put them into the food processor. I’d recommend mini choc chips vs the bigger chunks of broken dark choc i did just b/c they are huge looking on top of tiny gem cookies even when broken small. THANKS for the recipe. I hope everyone tries it. Definitely a good “milk and cookies” or tea/coffee and cookies kinda cookie. With no choc it’s very mild in sweetness and yet very flavorful. I was contemplating adding vanilla extract or almond extract to change it too. A very versatile cookie! :) Thanks again from a former cookies from packages addict looking for healthier options. :)

Can I substitute or leave out the oats for this recipe? I have everything else at hand! :) Thanks for continuing to make great food!

Great but the dates really overcome the taste of the cookies.. more like date cookies. If you’re not really a fan, better to find something with another sweetener :)

Bake? What temp?

I made these 1/2T size for bites with ghiradelli chocolate chips. They were simple to make and great tasting! Just what I was looking for, thank you.

These are brilliant! Put raisins in mine and they’re very, very tasty. Thank you Dana

Hi there,
First comment here! (For the first try from the blog, youhou!). I just made a batch and they turned out delicious! Thanks a lot for the recipe.
I don’t have a food processor so I used my hand blender, totally worked out. Also I choose peanut butter.
Just one question, I feel like the banana overtakes all other flavors, I can barely taste the peanut butter, and my banana was not even ripe. Same for everyone? :)

I made a batch of these cookies yesterday and they’re delicious! Great recipe, thank you!
I don’t have a food processor so the date chopping did take a while, but was completely worth it, and I used peanut butter in place of almond butter.

Only complaint? 24 cookies between 4 people don’t last very long at all – I think I will be baking another batch very soon :-)

these look yummy. Do you have an idea of how long they will keep? I would like to ship them as a gift.
thanks,

denise

Loved them. My Family and I are on a 21 day Daniel fast and this helped so much with the cravings. Thanks for sharing.

Am I missing it, or is there not an oven temperature in the recipe? I would love to try these but don’t want to guess about the temp. Thanks!

I really want to try these cookies but I do not have a food processor. How would I go about this?

They were extremely easy to make and soooooo delicious. Even the toughest critic (my Dad) fell head over heels in dessert love! Thanks!!

Hello!
I love how simple this recipe is but I don’t have a food processor. Would I be able to use a blender instead?

I was diagnosed (2nd time) with a nasty cancer in October. I went from junk food, wine, sugar, pop & fast food to a very strict vegan (& no oil or refined sugar) lifestyle. Hoping to beat this bugger! Anyway the holidays were bleak with no yummy cookies & pies. These cookies are fabulous! And OK for me to eat! I’m so excited. Thanks & I hope to find more delicious goodies on your site!

I loved these cookies! My boyfriend dubbed them “Granola Clusters” to appeal to our friends and family who are wary when given a “healthy” cookie.

They were excellent! The first batch I used choc chips. The second and third time around I’m trying dried cranberries.

Thank you for your recipes and commitment to your blog/work. I just purchased your “31 meals” cookbook and looking forward to trying the recipes for the new year. Can’t wait till your next book hits shelves in April!

Thank you, once again. :)

My family lovessss these cookies. I’m unable to eat because I just had jaw surgery and still healing. I experimented with making my own almond butter. I accidentally burnt the almonds in the oven so I started over using a smaller amount just in case. So I made my awesome almond butter and for anyone who doesn’t know (just toast the almonds to release the oils and throw them in the food processor until its a consistency u like. BAM!) So because I literally had a small amount of almond butter I played around with the amounts of ingredients I’ll use…to be honest I rarely measure I usually always eye ball. So my dough actually came out prefect. I divided it into threes. 1 for coconut flakes, 1 for chocolate chips, and 1 for walnuts. While it baked I melted some milk Chocolate. Drizzled well iced half of the cookies. So as my small tester these cookies were amazing. My household keeps thanking me so I had to come thank you. I will be recreating these for sure.

I just made these as a Christmas treat for a choose vegan friend and her family. The batter is quite sticky- and the author notes this. I added almond meal, but discovered a good trick to mitigate stickiness! Get a separate bowl and dump a bit of almond meal in the bowl, dunk your hands in, and then grab the balls of dough before setting on the baking sheet and roll them in almond meal. Then form the little disks. I also out a square of dark chocolate in the center of each one and mixed unsweetened coconut flakes in- delicious!! Thanks for the recipe!!

After 3 weeks of no meat or dairy and low sugar, cravings for something “sweet” has taken on a whole new meaning. These cookies are perfect! Chewy with crisp edges, savory, sweet and a chocolate fix. I had to make an effort to share them with my children or I would have eaten them all myself:)

I’ve made these three times already. So good and guilt-free! Thank you!

I love your blog! The photos are enough to convince me to get up and make something delicious! Also, the positive and enthusiastic tone in your writing makes it a good read anytime – I have found myself going to your website and reading up recipes when I cant sleep :D

I tried this particular recipe without the bananas and with some ground ginger and the biscuits were delicious!

I made these for the guys at the fire station today. I subbed out almond meal for some walnuts I ground into a meal and used peanut butter instead of almond butter. Also we did not have dates but we had raisins so I soaked a cup of raisins instead. They came out awesome. Thank you.

i like the vegan item

These cookies look delicious! Unfortunately my husband is allergic to bananas. Do you think they would be ok without the bananas or do you recommend a substitution for the bananas?
Thanks!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been looking for substitute cookie recipe since changing diet to healthy eating…this ticks all the boxes..kids are thrilled..both asking for seconds. Perfect with glass of oat milk for supper. Thanks again

I have tried the raw recipes from this blog and they turn out AMAZING even though I am newbie at dessert making! Trying the baking ones now but need assistance. Does anyone know how I should adjust the baking time if I am using a fan forced oven (temperature and time)?

after seeing this recipe I decided to give it a shot, 5 ingredients “wow easy” realizing I only had 3/5 of what was called for I headed to the grocery store spending 7.99 a pound on almonds and 5.99 a pound on dates. DATES!!! Aka little cockroaches! I went home a tad mad. realizing I didn’t have a food processor so I and a friend decided “what the hey lets just use a blender” WRONG WORST IDEA EVER, unless you want to break your blender or as I like to call it my baby, my prize possession, my everything, my world, BROKEN! Haha great. While I was looking for a spoon I found a…. Drum roll please… FOOD PROCESSOR! So after we finished grating it up I preheated the oven, this is the best part. Up until this point it took me about an hour, and I heard this weird noise it sounded like the cookies sizzling, but then I remembered wait I didn’t put the cookies in yet. My flipping oven was on fire:) long story short after traveling to get my twelve dollar almonds and dates, after breaking my blender, after dirtying the dishes, after catching the oven on fire, after having the fire department come, after crying a little, I DIDNT GET MY COOKIES, which means I never tried them so I couldn’t say if they were good or not but if I were to guess they probably would taste like crap kind of like my experience

Hi! recently came across your site and love your recipes. I’ve recently gone dairy-free on advice of my naturopath after some food intolerance testing. It turns out I am
Really intolerant to almonds, and while switching from almond to rice milk has been easy, there are a lot of recipes that call for almond meal and almond flour – what are good substitutes for these? thanks!!

i felt the banana taste was a little overpowering. could i use grated zucchini?

One of my go to’s now! I added chia seeds and raisins…sooo good! I’ve also added a chunk of organic dark chocolate on top of each cookie, yum. Love this easy recipe…perfect for after a work out or run.
Thank you!

Made a DOUBLE batch of these yesterday. There are 2 of us in the house. The cookies are nearly gone today. Needless to say these are addictive and divine. Dana, you leave me breathless….

Hello! I sooo want to make these cookies they look so delicious. I cannot eat nuts though, is there something i could substitute the almond meal with? I was thinking substituting the almond butter with sunflower seed butter but I am not sure about the almond meal.

Yum, these look amazing! I always have tons of almond okara from making almond milk… and so I was wondering if you thought this recipe would work with okara instead of regular dry almond meal?

Hi! I’ve made this before (using a food processor) and it was soooo delicious! I’m making this again. Do you think this would work with a Vitamix?

oh my god thank you!! these are SO good. even the batter is delicious! I’m keeping these ingredients on hand and this recipe memorized so I can make them whenever. perfection!

Do you think if I substituted with peanut butter, the flavor would be overpowering? Could I use coconut butter?

Thanks for posting this, I am really excited to try it!

These look delicious, can’t wait to try! I have one question on the almond meal, do you buy that or make your own by blending up in a food processor or grinder? I will be spending a lot of time on your site…thank you!

Do I use fresh dates or did you use dried dates? Thanks

I just made these delicious cookies. I could not find dates at my local grocery store so I used pitted prunes instead. They are just amazing and taste sooooooo good. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

I am not a banana fan but understand the need in this recipe. However, can you taste the banana?

Hi Dana,

I had great success with your banana bread the other weekend, however these cookies came out terribly for me, such a shame as I was craving a sweet treat this evening!

I’m not sure what happened, but i fear the coconut flour is to blame!… as I didn’t have almond meal so subbed for Coconut flour , but reduced the quantity to 1/2 a cup as I know how dry coconut flour can be. To make up for the coconut and its dryness i added some extra mashed banana. The mix seemed ok, though a little on the dry side, and it didn’t taste that sweet though.. I think if i do it again i’d add nut milk perhaps, and use almond meal and perhaps more nut butter! Not sure if you have any other suggestions ?

Love your site though, and i’m sure i’ll have better luck another time!

These cookies were amazing!!!!!! I have recently been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis which has made my diet very limited. But these cookies for my diet and taste amazing!

Amazing recipe. My girl and I made and love them. Thanks.

FYI–oats contain gluten.

This is the third recipe of yours that I have tried. Today is my second time with these cookies. I love all of your recipes. I cannot wait to read the Detox Guide!

Good day.
I am from Singapore .
I always wanted to bake cookies for my mum as she has some health issues and Dr advised her to avoid egg and many others. Her diet must include lots of grain. I saw ur website and I simply love it. Will try the above.

btW the recipe stated tat I have to use some unsalted butter or peanut butter. May I know when do u need to add them in as I don see it in your procedure. Appreciate your advise. Once again, thank u for sharing your recipe.

I love it!! what is the shelf life for these cookies?

Hi Dana! What would you recommend to sub in for those of us coeliacs who can’t have oats? Thanks for your amazing site!

Thank you for such an easy recipe, my cookies are in the oven now and they already smell great!

These look so yummy, and I can’t wait to try them.
But, dates are really expensive where I live. I’m a university student on a tight budget, so I’m always looking to save. Is there something that I could easily replace them with?

I found these cookies today and bought all the ingredients tonight. Making them as we speak. This is my first try at vegan cookies. Hopefulky I do them correctly.

I made three batches. One I sent as a thank you, one I brought to class, and the other I baked for my family. I absolutely love them. They are so yummy especially just a few minutes after they’re out of the oven. Might be because I used an entire vegan chocolate bar in the recipe. SO much chocolate but no regrets. I got 50/50 review back on them. All the college kids I gave them to said they were good. My family and my boyfriend were less impressed. I give this recipe a big thumbs up though. It’s going in my cookbook.

I love your website! In my family, there are 2 vegans, 1 vegetarian, and 3 meat eaters (one GF). Sometimes it is hard to make cookies like that. Being a vegan, not many recipes are compatible. So thanks!

These turned out great! I love the combination of dates, bananas and (I used) peanut butter. These will be great as energy bars as well. Definitely a keeper — thank you! =)

I made these today, and they turned out great! I’ve never done much baking, but this was easy. And rewarding. Thank you!

Never used/ate dates so I was unsure about where to find them so I used raisins. Didn’t have almond meal so I used some raw almonds! These came out amazing!!!!!!!! Added some dairy free chocolate chunks! Thanks so much!

I love this! My husband and I are researching healthy snacks to make for Christmas tomorrow. We’re going to enjoy a plant based Christmas and this recipe looks amazing….and your pictures are beautiful!
Would you mind if I shared your blog on my own blog? I can share that address with you if you likel. Thanks again!

Great recipe, thankyou! I was just hoping someone could tell me how long these could keep for (approx)?

So yummy! I will eat ALL of these and then make more for my loved ones! :)

Late night munchies dictated creativity & as I didn’t have dates & only half a frozen banana…
I added 1/3 cup frozen pineapple and 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon tapioca starch, 1 tablespoon molasses, threw in 2 pods of cardamon & I whirled it up in my magic bullet smoothie maker w/ splashes of coconut creamer as needed to moisten…..(taking out the bits of well blended batter as I added ingredients). I folded in cranberries, dark chocolate pieces and pecans & this is some heavenly nonsense!!! thanks for the inspiration…. When there is a will there is a way!!!

These cookies are awesome! I have been eating them spread with Almond Joy butter and they are simply delish! I finished the last of my batch this morning so will have to make some more.

Thanks so much for such a yummy vegan recipe! :D

these are not gluten free because of the oats… It can be missleading to people with gluten related problems.

The dates fused my blender! First and last time I’m blending dates together, but I persevered by hand instead making these cookies very expensive and a little less effortless, and they turned out pretty amazing. They were so cookie-like it was unreal and my gluten intolerant and vegan friends really enjoyed them too, thankyou!

On the second round of making these I substituted the ground almond for hemp seeds with the hulls on and coarsely ground oats (dry blender) because I didn’t have any flaked oats prepared. On the second time as well I just mashed everything in a bowl with a spoon Sooooo quick and good! Im always going to make a double batch now : )

just made these! i added toasted coconut on top of mine, and they were the most delicious cookies i’ve ever had! I’ve never baked anything vegan before, but the recipe turned out to be AWESOME! I’m already making more for my friends! Thanks for this decadent recipe!! c:

I just got done making these for the third time because everybody in my family loved them – vegans and non-vegans. These cookies are so easy to make and the taste and texture is absolutely divine! I don’t eat added sugar and these are perfect as a little sweet, healthy and satisfying treat without packing a ton of sugar and dairy. Thanks for this awesome recipe!

What kind of food processor do you use? I’m looking to buy one and don’t know how to decide which one!

Okay, I really want to make these, but I have a problem. I’m an omnivore, but many of my friends are vegan and I’m always on the lookout for new ways of making things that everyone can eat. So, great, banana instead of eggs for the binder. The problem is that I am highly allergic to bananas. Can you suggest a work-around for the banana in the recipe?

If it’s not too much trouble, perhaps you could also suggest how much honey I could use to substitute for the dates? I love them, but sometimes I just want my oats and nuts without any fruit fancying up the joint.

I simply ADORE your blog! Started following your IG account and started then visiting your blog. You are my inspiration and I always look forward to having a look at your new recipes and pics. All gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing all of it with us.
Larissa

These sound delicious! Unfortunately, I’m allergic to bananas. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute/replacement?

Made these tonight and they were so good! I added dried cranberries and choc chips. I also sprinkled a little salt on each one before I popped them in the oven. My husband and I were devouring them!

have You Tried A Replacement For The Oats? Unfortunately We Can Not Eat Them. Even GF Oats.

thanks

I love how easy this recipe is, I made them this morning with a couple adjustments and they were amazing! I replaced the almond butter for a tbls of coconut oil and a 1/2 tbl if chia seeds soaked in a tbl of water, also I added a bit of organic vanilla and some cinnamon :) thanks for sharing with us.

Come! you will be welcome! Any tips for the trip let me know! :)

Just made these with my boyfriend and they turned out great! Thank you! Great recipe!

Hi Dana, I cooked them until they were a little bit golden brown, so probably is the coconut oil as you said, Thanks! I will try again!
Yes, Brazil is beautiful! You should include it in your vacation destination list! :)

Hi guys, I love all your recipes! I just tried this one and I replaced some of the ingredients for things that I already have here, the almond butter for coconut oil, and the datils for dried prums, it was good! but not crunchy… I was wondering if I had followed your recipe the cookies could had been more crunchy?

Thanks for sharing!!
Regards from Brazil!!

I goggled “vegan oatmeal cookies” this morning since I wanted to make some for my boys and your recipe popped up. I love your blog and have now signed up :-) These cookies are SO GOOD!! And my non-vegan boys loved them too!!

I absolutely adore these cookies! I have made them myself, with a few minor additions. I basically searched the web this evening for an hour trying to find your recipe. I made them about three months ago for the first time, and although I thought I had bookmarked your site, I could not find it!

Worth it!!

wow this looks like such a great recipe! I’ve given up sugar for lent and i’ve been craving biscuits and cookies so much but I think I can allow myself to have these as the sugar is from the fruit which I’m having:) can’t wait to make these!!!

just made these! thank you so much for the great recipe, these taste amazing

Is there a good alternative to almond meal, for those of us allergic to almonds? I’m thinking sun butter instead of almond butter….

Upon finding your website I immediately ran into my kitchen to promptly bake these cookies. Oh my they are DELICIOUS, I’ve already inhaled two! So happy I found you guys and that you have gluten-free options. THANK YOU you’ve made my life a whole lot sweeter without me having to break out of my healthier baking/cooking habits.

These were dee-lish! To me, they are crying out for a bit of shredded coconut, so next time I’m adding that in and my guess is that will take them to healthy cookie nirvana.

I love simple recipes like this! I bet that cookie dough is delicious… :)

Just wanted to let you know about a little typo here: “Let it our girl, I feel your pain…” I believe it should be out.

Keep up the good work! Love your blog.

Made these today and they were beautiful. Didn’t look as pretty as yours lol and I couldn’t finally Almond butter so left that out. Also made them by hand as I don’t own a processer of any kind. They are now all gone as everyone loved them.

I used chopped Mast Brothers Chocolate and a dash of cinnamon! These are now a regular part of my life! Eating as clean as possible, and….I LOVE YOUR BLOG!

I’m just in love with these cookies and your site! Thank you so much!
I posted it on my blog too and forwarded for you =)

Cheers!

The cookies look fab but I was wondering is there anything else that you can put instead of the bananas?

just made these..so easy and the whole family loved them! thank you!

I gave these a try at the weekend. Such an easy recipe. But I’m a rubbish baker and didn’t know what heat to bake them at so ended up burning them. Didn’t stop me eating them and just means I need to bake another batch! What temp should I try? Also what size roughly do you make them at. I only got 12 from the mix and they were 3_4 bite cookies…? Thanks.

Hey !
So since I’m french, (unfortunately we don’t use cups here :/) could you tell me how many grams does 1 cup of dates equals to ?
NB : sorry if my english is a little “weird”

Dana,

These cookies were spectacular. Just what we need for our exercise routines. Easy to make and with healthy, whole ingredients!

Thanks,
Bettina

Hello! I’m Brazilian and I don’t know how to speak English yet, rsss, but I’ll try (if I make any mistake, please, correct me). I like a lot of your recipes, especially the cookies!
Parabéns pelo site!!

I just made these with peanut butter and I added in some chocolate chips and dried cherries. They’re like a PB and J dreamboat cookie (official title). All aboard!

Awesome recipe will have to give it a go, I tried a similar recipe last weekend that used protein powder :)

Wow these look heavenly Dana! I absolutely love your blog after just coming across it :)

xoxo Sarah Grace

Yummy these look amazing, and so so simple. I’m really learning how versatile bananas can be in baking, so thanks for showing me yet another way to use ’em!

Looks yummy!How about their shelf life? Can I freeze them?

I wanna kiss you for coming up with this recipe. After having a baby I have been craving tons of sweets and this will satiate my cravings and not make me feel like I am going to gain a bajillion lbs!

They look absolutely amazing, I’ll need to try these!!!

Looks absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe!!! Would be extra yummy with some dark chocolate as well!

I love cookies that come together in a food processor. So much easier, and I love all the healthy ingredients in these! Sometimes you just need a break from super sweet buttery cookies. Sometimes. ;) Pinned.

This look delicious, however I do not have any dates right now can I replace with maple syrup or something else ? Maybe adding more almond meal? :)

I kind of love cookies like these. They are the best of both worlds!

You can’t go wrong with an easy + healthy cookie recipe! I am so tickled by these cookies!

Can’t wait to make them. Question- what’s the difference between meal and flour? I made cashew milk and dried the meal in the oven. Can this be used in baking as cashew meal? Thanks!

All my fave ingredients; thanks for sharing!

Yummmmmm. I love how “clean” these are. Don’t go look at my Birdseed Cookies! Hah! ;)

I got a quick question, If I used ground oats instead of ground almond meal would that work as well?

I love this! Beautiful and so simple. I’m definitely making these! :)

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love reading your blog. Recipes are always delicious and do-able, your sense of humor is wonderfully entertaining and you make eating healthy enjoyable. Thank you for taking your time to share your wonderful talents!

Holy! How freaking easy and delicious! I need these in my life stat!

Wow! These are beautiful and brilliant! TOTALLY makin’ em. :D

You are my hero. I’m on day 4 of a 28-day challenge that doesn’t allow for sugar or oil. These cookies might help me make it to the end (and beyond!). THANK YOU.

OMG, yes! These look incredible! I have some medjool dates, so I’m assuming I wouldn’t have to soak them because they’re so dang plump and juicy already?

Ooh, I have all of these things! Cookie time.

A quick, healthy cookie. Sign me up girlll.

Yum! I’m always on the look-out for healthier cookies because, um, I might eat cookies too often. Is that even possible??

These look awesome! I’m big for simple recipes with simple ingredients that make something incredible! Thanks for sharing :)

These cookies look crazy-good!! I love the look of this recipe!
