3.91 90 Published Nov 12, 2024 Before I go any further I have to tell you that everyone who has tried these cookies is OBSESSED! Oatmeal cookies have always been one of my favorite cookie recipes. I have a few different recipes on the blog from my healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies to these pumpkin oatmeal cookies. Turns out adding dates to oatmeal cookies is a genius idea! The dates get soft and caramely after baking and every bite that contains a date is literally the best. Also, the texture of these cookies is basically perfect! Trust me on this… or make these cookies and find out for yourself how tasty they are.
Why You’ll Love These Cookies
Naturally sweetened – No refined sugars here! These cookies get their perfect sweetness from maple syrup, coconut sugar and Medjool dates. Wholesome ingredients – Made with oats, flaxseed, and coconut oil, these cookies are both delicious and nutritious, making them the perfect treat. Perfectly soft and chewy – The texture is just right; soft and chewy with crisp edges that’ll have you wondering where they all went.
Ingredients Needed
old fashioned oats – the heart and soul of these cookies, giving them that classic chewy texture. I like Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats as they are certified gluten-free. oat flour – keeps things gluten-free and adds even more oat flavor. coconut sugar – for a rich, caramel-like sweetness that’s all-natural. baking powder and baking soda – these two team up to make your cookies light and fluffy. flaxseed egg – the plant-based binder that holds it all together. maple syrup – naturally sweet and adds moisture to these cookies. coconut oil – keeps the cookies soft and adds a hint of coconut flavor. vanilla – because everything’s better with a touch of vanilla. medjool dates – sweet, chewy, and loaded with natural goodness. walnuts – for a little crunch and healthy fats to keep things interesting.

How to Make Oatmeal Date Cookies
Storing Oatmeal Date Cookies
After letting your cookies cool completely, I recommend storing them in an airtight container. They’ll last 3-4 days on the countertop, a week in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer. I love making these in advance, freezing and then serving during the holidays!
