Rooted Recipe Files: Miso Peanut Butter Cookies
Welcome to the Rooted Recipe Files where we share our most favourite mainstay recipes with you! We’ve been making these Miso cookies for our custom personal chef clients for a long time, and let me tell ya they are a hit! As holistic personal chefs in Vancouver, our work is to create the most nourishing, beautiful food for our clients without compromising flavour. These cookies are packed full of all the good things our bodies need to sustain us and energize us throughout the day. Oats are full of beneficial micro minerals, antioxidants and fibre, flax an chia are an amazing source of our omega 3 fatty acids but let’s talk about the star ingredient here: MISO!
As holistic chefs, we LOVE miso. Miso is a Japanese fermented soybean paste and it is an ingredient from the gods. It adds a deep, rich, umami flavour to any dish, is super versatile (can be used in most recipes!) and boats a ton of heath benefits to boot. We make these cookies for our custom meal prep clients often. They are super easy (don’t require baking!) and can last in your fridge for up to 2 weeks. The perfect bite before a run or a hike! Enjoy.
INGREDIENTS
Cookies
400g nut butter
120g pitted medjool dates
100g coconut oil
50g miso paste
80g maple syrup (or honey)
450g rolled oats
5g salt
5g sesame seeds
Chocolate drizzle
65g dark chocolate
15g coconut oil
1. Soak dates in hot water for 10 minutes.
2. Blitz half of the rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the dates to a food processor with the nut butter, miso paste, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt.
4. Place your cookie mixture into the large mixing bowl with the finely ground oats. Add in the remaining half of the whole oats. Use your hands to combine all ingredients until you have a dough.
5. Roll the dough into golf balls and gently press them down onto a lined baking tray. Place the cookies into the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes (you want them to become more firm).
6. Using a baine marie, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. Once fully melted and combined, take your cookies out of the refrigerator and drizzle the chocolate over the top.
7. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and place back into the refrigerator for about 5 minutes (or until chocolate has hardened). Enjoy!
