Hey lovelies, we are a proper snack family that regularly craves for a little sweet or savory snack. We often eat fruits, sometimes small pretzels, nuts or crisp bread. But sometimes we crave for something really sweet, especially the kids. Since I prefer to offer them a healthy alternative, we often have something similar available at home, for instance blueberry granola bars (you can find the recipe here) or these healthy cookies with dates, nuts and coconut flour – and of course chocolate, because we all know chocolate makes us happy.
As my kids are naturally great eaters who always seem to be hungry, it is absolutely fine with me if they treat themselves with snacks throughout the day. To a certain extent of course. They simply loved these cookies and ate them up pretty quickly.
I used melted dark chocolate for the frosting. Dark chocolate is vegan on the one hand and the healthiest alternative on the other because it contains more cocoa and less sugar.
These cookies are a delicious snack throughout the day or also very delightful with a glas of nut milk – I dipped mine in oat milk! The cookies get their natural sweet taste from dates and maple sirup and are thereby free from refined sugar. Give them a try, I am sure you and your kids will love them as much as we do.
