Instructions

1. Soak the dates in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 165°C (330°F), conventional (top and bottom heat), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Blend the walnuts on high speed until they turn into a paste (3-4 minutes).
4. Drain the dates, pit them and add them to the blender. Blend until you have a thick paste.
5. Add the molasses and the plant-based milk and blend until smooth.
6. Transfer it to a bowl and mix in 25 g of flour, for a soft but workable dough. If it's too sticky, add the rest of the flour.
7. Roll it into small balls with your hands, place them on the baking sheet and flatten them with a fork.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 165°C (330°F), until they start to brown. They turn out slightly crisp, soft and chewy.
9. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
