Like the infamous (if you’re allergic to peanuts that is) 3-ingreident peanut butter cookies, this recipe is super easy to make. Give it a try.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 8 dates (pitted, soaked in hot water)
- high-speed blender or bullet blender with S hook
METHOD:
- Soak dates in hot water. Pit if needed.
- Add dates and sesame seeds to a blender.
- Blend into dough.
- Divide into 10 pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet.
- Use a fork to cross smash the ball like PB cookies.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 350
RESULT:
Using the freshest of ingredients, this is a simple to fix and delicious alternative to the PB-allergen cookie. The ingredients, process, batch size are sufficient enough to be able to quickly make these over and over again. The combo of dates + sesame seeds makes a just right alternative.
Also, the dough can be eaten raw, unbaked, for people who enjoy cookie dough or would like to use in as a stir-in ingredient to ice cream treats. This recipe, to my taste buds, seems like it is missing a dash of salt. I added it and it tasted as I would expect of store-purchased ‘butter” products like this home-made seed butter. Use a hefty blender or food processor as this recipe, although simple, requires some power to make. Even so, you’ll have to scrape down the sides frequently. Don’t over bake.
Suggested toppings: A sprinkle of allulose and cinnamon topping, or plop a piece of dark chocolate in the center for a “herseys pb kiss” thumbprint style cookie.
With a bit of experimentation, I think this recipe style may work with other ingredients for a similar but distinct flavor switch up. Ideas include plums, figs, really any dried fruit rehydrated and perhaps pumpkin seeds or even walnuts in place of the seeds.
