Instructions
1
Simmer chopped dates with orange juice, orange zest and cinnamon over low heat for 4-5 minutes, mashing to a thick jammy paste, then stir in chopped walnuts and cool completely.
2
In a bowl whisk whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder and salt together.
3
In a separate bowl beat greek yogurt, sunflower oil, allulose and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold into the dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
4
Divide the dough into two equal pieces, roll each between parchment into a thin rectangle about 3mm thick.
5
Spread the cooled date-walnut filling over one dough rectangle, top with the second rectangle and press edges lightly to seal.
6
Cut into 2 even cookies, transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7
Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 14-16 minutes until lightly golden at the edges.
8
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to firm up before serving.
