Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) rolled oats
  • 4 tbsp (24 g) ground sunflower seeds (or use almond flour)
  • 1/2 cup (64 g) sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup (36 g) pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tbsp (34 g) chia seeds
  • 4 tbsp (36 g) hemp seeds (or use sesame seeds)
  • 1/4 cup (36 g) peanuts
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (34 g) raisins
  • 1/4 cup (34 g) dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup (132 g) date paste (see notes)
  • 1/3 cup (80 g) tahini
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 3 tbsp water

Instructions

  • You can watch the short video for visual instructions.
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). At the same time, prepare the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water, mixing well, and setting it aside for 5 minutes.
  • Add all dry ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine.
  • Pour in the wet ingredients (also the flax egg) and mix thoroughly.
  • Spoon the batter on the baking sheet, using a tablespoon per cookie.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then let cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Date paste: You could use date syrup, maple syrup, or any other liquid sweetener instead of date paste, however, use less, about 3/8 cups or 120 grams, and bake the cookies a few minutes longer.
  • Mix and match nuts and seeds: These healthy cookies are super versatile, so use whatever nuts and seeds you have on hand.
  • For more flavor: You could toast the nuts and seeds in a dry pan until fragrant.
  • The yield: This recipe makes 16-18 tablespoon-sized cookies. You can make them slightly larger but may need to increase the baking time.
