PB & Carob Thumbprint Cookies

Cookies with plain flour, butter and a lot of sugar belong to the past. This time I was experimenting with corn flour and as a "fat ingredient" I used peanut butter. They're sweetened with honey (you can also use any plant-based syrup) and if you use gluten free oats, the recipe is gluten-free too. I could eat the whole plate!

PB & Carob Thumbprint Cookies

Ingredients (16 cookies):

  • handful dates
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp quick oats
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 3 Tbsp corn flour 
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp honey or syrup
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp carob powder
How to:
  • First, soak the dates (if you want them soft quickly, use hot water)
  • In a medium bowl, mix the oats, flour, milk, honey and a pinch of salt. 
  • Shape the cookies from the dough, sprinkle them with sesame seeds and bake them for in preheated oven for 160°C. 
  • After about three minutes, pull them out of the oven, dent each cookie and put them back to the oven for about more 5 minutes. 
  • Meanwhile, drain the dates and put them into a blender or food processor together with carob powder. 
  • Finally fill the dents with the date-carob mix.
