Date Cookies

Nutritional goodness in every bite!! That’s exactly what you get in these 3-ingredient simple yet delicious cookies. Honestly, the hardest part is chopping up your dates, well, that and making sure you don’t eat the whole batch straight out of the oven. Although, all you’re really eating is oatmeal and fruit so go ahead, no judgment here. Using the sweet power of our medjool dates as well as the very ripe bananas, these cookies have absolutely no need for added sugar our oils making them the perfect alternative to all those sugar loaded cookies you buy at the store.

So, what makes these cookies so perfect? Oatmeal is rich in fiber which promotes fullness as well as being a great source of vitamins and minerals. Bananas, also introduce resistant starches which keeps us feeling fuller longer and they are highly nutritious. Once you introduce our mighty medjool dates, you have a super nutritional and delicious cookie that just can’t be beat. Medjool dates are loaded with calcium, magnesium, copper, fiber, and three times as much potassium as bananas.
