Prep Time
5 minutes
Total Time
5 minutes
Ingredients
- ¾ cup raw cashews
- 2/3 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1 scoop (1/4 cup) natural vegan vanilla protein powder of your choice
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons cashew butter
- 10 large pitted medjool dates
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy free) or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Add the cashews, oats, and protein powder to a food processor and process on high for 30 seconds.
- Add in the maple syrup, cashew butter, and pitted dates then process again on high for 1 minute.
- While processing, pour the almond milk into the food processor through the top opening.
- You may need to stop to scrape the sides of the food processor with a spatula intermittently while processing.
- A dough consistency will begin to form and the dough will start to clump. You want to make sure the dough is mostly smooth with little to no chunks of date or cashews remaining.
- Transfer cookie dough to a bowl and fold in the chocolate chips.
- Enjoy!
