Cookie cups

Ingredients:

Whole wheat flour  - 1/2 cup

Virgin coconut oil   - 1 and 1/2 tbsp

Cocoa powder         - 1 tbsp

Banana essence      - 4 drops

Dates                      - 10

Milk of choice         - 2- 3 tbsp(I used almond milk)

salt                          - 1/4 tsp

Soak the dates overnight in 1 tbsp of milk. In a mixing bowl add the dry ingredients and mix well. Rough chop the dates and add it to the bowl and blend well. Slowly add the oil and rest of the milk while kneading with your hand until you get a firm non- sticky dough.

Divide them into 6 equal balls and flatten each to about 1/2 inch thickness with your hands. 

Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Place each flattened dough along the curvature of the holes of a greased muffin pan. Gently press it in the center before putting it in the oven.

Then bake for about 20-25 minutes or until done. Press the center of the dough every 4-5 minutes ( I used the ends of my rolling pin). Switch off oven and let it cool before taking it out.

With a little more effort you can get cups of the same size, I did not have the patience for it.
