Halloween’s favorite candy bar…in cookie form! Date caramel, salty peanuts, and rich dark chocolate make up this vegan and gluten free healthy treat!

Ingredients

DATE CARAMEL:

  • 4 large pitted medjool dates
  • 1 Tbsp. almond butter
  • 1.5 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted

COOKIES:

  • 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oat Flour
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. almond flour
  • 3 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • <strong>For topping:</strong>
  • 1.75 oz. vegan dark chocolate
  • 1/4 tsp. coconut oil
  • salted peanut halves

Instructions

  1. Make the date caramel: Add dates, almond butter, and coconut oil to a small food processor or blender and blend until it becomes a smooth paste.* Set in the fridge to chill.
  2. Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Whisk oat flour and almond flour in a medium bowl until all lumps are removed.
  4. Melt coconut oil in a small bowl and mix in maple syrup.
  5. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until combined. The dough will be very wet. Stick in the fridge to firm up for about 10 minutes.
  6. Portion out 1 Tbsp.-sized cookies, and stick the dough directly onto a baking sheet. Shape each dough portion into a flat circle with your hands.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the sides are just starting to turn brown.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire cooling rack. Set aside.
  9. Assemble your cookie: Add chocolate and coconut oil to a small bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing between each, until melted. Set aside.
  10. Measure out about 1 tsp. of your date caramel, and then shape it into a circle and flatten it with your hands. Place it on top of the cookie. Press a few peanut halves into the date caramel so they stick. Pour chocolate on top so it drips down the side. Place in the fridge to set.

Notes

*If you’re having trouble blending up your caramel, do not fret. The food processor/blender you’re using is probably too big. Just double the amount of caramel ingredients to achieve that smooth texture. Use extra date caramel in oatmeal, on apples, or as “energy” bites!
