Ingredients

  • 2 cups oatmeal
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup Sunbutter
  • 1/2 cup date paste
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda *Sunbutter will turn green if too much soda is use

Cranberry Jam

  • 1 1/2 cups cranberries fresh
  • 1 cup water divided
  • 1/2 cup date paste

Instructions

  • Add the oatmeal and chia seeds to a blend, and blend to a coarse flour, leaving some of the oat texture.
  • In a mixing bowl, add Sunbutter, date paste, melted coconut oil, sea salt and baking soda, and mix to combine.
  • Add the processed oatmeal and chia seeds, and stir to combine.
  • In a sauce pan, add cranberries and half of the water. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, and cook for 2-3 minutes after the cranberries begin to pop.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup of the cranberry mixture, and add to a blender along with the remaining water and date paste. Puree until well mixed, and then add back to the sauce pan with the cranberries. Mix together.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop cookies in balls and place them on the baking tray.
  • Use a half teaspoon measuring spoon or your thumb to press large imprints in the center of all the cookies.
  • Fill the thumbprints with a scoop of cranberry jam.
  • Bake cookies for 10 minutes, then allow to cool. 
  • If desired, drizzle cookies with additional Sunbutter to serve. Store cookies without the drizzle or store them once they are drizzled in a single layer.
