Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Oats

Start by taking the rolled oats and place them in a blender. Blend until finely ground.

Once blended, transfer the oats into a mixing bowl and add the softened butter. Mix well until combined.

Next, incorporate the poppy seeds into the mixture and stir.

Step 2

Blend the Egg and Dates

In the same blender, crack in the egg and add the pitted dates. Blend until smooth.

Once blended, pour the egg and date mixture into the bowl with the oats and butter mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.

Step 3

Form the Dough

After combining, it’s time to add the green buckwheat flour to the bowl. Mix everything well.

At this stage, you should have a soft dough. If it's too sticky, consider adding a little more flour.

Step 4

Shape the Cookies

Take a piece of parchment paper and place it on a baking sheet. Roll out the dough onto the parchment paper until it’s about 1/2 inch thick.

Using a cookie cutter, cut out the cookies from the rolled dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes.

Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before enjoying!

Servings

👩‍🍳 **Serving Suggestions:** These delightful oatmeal cookies are perfect when paired with a tall glass of almond milk or a hot cup of your favorite tea. Consider packing them for a picnic, where they are sure to impress friends and family!

😋 For a gourmet twist, try serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The blend of warm, chewy cookies and melting ice cream is absolutely heavenly! You can even drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.

🍯 Another fun idea is to create a cookie sandwich! Simply spread a layer of your favorite nut butter between two cookies for a delightful treat that combines both flavor and nutrition. It’s a fantastic way to refuel after a long day!

Variations

🌿 **Gluten-Free Variation:** Substitute the green buckwheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend to keep these cookies delicious and safe for those with gluten sensitivities. Just make sure to check your oat’s packaging to ensure they are certified gluten-free!

🌱 **Vegan Variation:** To make this recipe vegan, simply replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water, mixed and left to sit until thickened). You can also use coconut oil instead of butter for a fully plant-based cookie!

Faq

  • What type of oats should I use?

    For this recipe, use long-cooking oats to give the cookies a chewy texture. Avoid instant oats, as they can make the cookies too mushy.

  • Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts?

    Absolutely! Feel free to customize your cookies by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits to the dough for extra flavor and texture.

  • How do I know when the cookies are baked?

    The cookies are ready when the edges turn golden brown. They may look slightly underbaked in the center, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.

  • Can I store these cookies? If so, how?

    Yes! Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze them for longer storage. Just let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying!

  • What can I use if I don't have buckwheat flour?

    You can substitute with almond flour or any other preferred flour. Just keep in mind that it may slightly alter the taste and texture.

  • How can I make these cookies more flavorful?

    Consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or opt for vanilla extract to enhance the cookies' flavor profile!
