Print Recipe

These no-bake pistache koekjes are quick and easy homemade sweet treats featuring a perfect balance of crunchy pistachios and chewy dates, with a hint of vanilla and citrus zest.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 10 large Medjool dates, pitted and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (125g) almond butter, creamy or crunchy
  • 3 tbsp (60ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Pit the dates and roughly chop them. If dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
  2. Pulse the pistachios in a food processor until coarsely chopped but not powdery.
  3. Add chopped dates, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sea salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a sticky ball, scraping down sides as needed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in rolled oats and chopped pistachios until evenly combined.
  5. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons (20g) of the mixture, roll into balls, then gently flatten into cookie shapes. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Refrigerate the koekjes for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Soak dry dates to soften for easier blending. Pulse pistachios coarsely to retain crunch. Chill mixture if too sticky before shaping. Mini koekjes can be made using a teaspoon scoop. Variations include adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or dried fruit.
