Notes

  • This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free (if using certified GF coconut), dairy-free, nut-free, and contains no added sugars—perfect for a wide range of dietary needs.
  • I always weigh the dates after removing the stones, so the quantity listed refers to pitted dates.
  • Because this recipe uses only two ingredients, the quality matters—make sure your dates are soft and sweet, and your coconut is fresh for the best flavour and texture.
  • These cookies are part of my Accidentally Vegan series—wholesome, simple recipes that just happen to be plant-based and fuss-free.
