3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
Juice of a small Orange - some zest is optional
Directions:
- Process 1/2 cup of each oats, coconut, dates and almonds in a food processor until the texture is crumb-like.
- Add the coconut oil and juice of a small orange and process further to combine. The dough will hold it's shape when formed together.
- Roll into a log, wrap in cling film and place in fridge to firm up.
If you are pushed for time, simply roll into small balls and flatten onto a baking tray, no need to firm up in fridge (this is a little more fiddly, but looks lovely pressed with a fork) - Once the log is solid, you can easily slice cookies, about 3mm is good!
- Preheat oven to 170C
- Place on baking paper or a cookie tray and bake in oven for about 20 minutes - remove when slightly brown.
- Cool on a wire rack to firm up
- Can be stored in an air tight container for 2 weeks - they won't last that long though!
