Ingredients

• 6 Medjool dates (or soft dates)

2. Mash the dates into a smooth paste and mix in the Bourbon vanilla.

3. Add the egg and stir well.

4. Fold in the almond flour, rolled oats and carob seed flour until a soft dough forms.

5. Shape into cookies and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake at 180°C (355°F) for 20 minutes, then increase the temperature to 190°C (375°F) and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying.
