Raw freezer oreos

As an obsessive tea drinker I often fantasize about having biscuits with my cuppa however biscuits are..

1- addictive, the pringles (and many other things) once you pop you can't stop and you can often find yourself have 4 or 5 if not the whole pack. With the average digestive bring 70-80 calories a pop that's some painful math for a 'snack'
2- often full of butter and refined sugar, the mcvities milk chocolate digestive has 3.9g of fat per biscuit
3- have little to no nutrional or health benifits.. unless you count the raisins that some of them have in it but lets face it those biscuit stay at the bottom of the tin once people find out its dried fruit rather then chocolate chips, eh?

So here I have taken the most sinful of biscuits, the Oreo, and made it nutritional. This new version of the Oreo is made with dates and almonds so is full of fiber, protein and healthy fats and makes it a perfect natural energizer. It is sugar free and only uses the natural sweetness from the dates and agave  so your blood sugar levels don't go on a roller coaster. Also this recipe is raw so the antioxidants from the cocoa powder and the vitamins and minerals from the dates, banana and almonds are not lost through cooking. These 'Oreos' are so good they come with a dip.. yes that's right, a mother fucking chocolate banana mouse dip. 

What you waiting for..

Ingredients

Oreos
1/2 cup almonds (raw unbleached)
1/2 cup pitted dates
2 heaped tbsp of raw cocoa powder
1 tbsp of agave
1 tbsp of vanilla soy milk (or other vanilla plant based milk substitute)
pinch of salt

-Blitz almonds, cocoa powder and salt till they are the texture of sand. Then add your dates and blitz till fully combined.
- Add the rest of your ingredients then blitz for 10 seconds more. Remove from blender and place in a mixing bowl.

- Bring together the dough with your hands until the mixture sticks together and forms a ball. Transfer to a board and roll out the dough in to a cylinder. Wrap in cling film and place in the freezer to firm up for about 30 mins (enough time to make your dip by the way)
- Once firm, remove from fridge and cling film and slice in to rounds.

- Slice a banana into rounds about the same thickness as your chocolate rounds. Then assemble sandwiching a slice of banana between two chocolate rounds. (you can make double stuffed ones if you add two slices of banana, genius!)
- Place back into freezer in a container so the dough remains firm and the banana does not discolor. Because these are freezer Oreos they are refreshingly cold and make a great healthy substitute to naughty freezer desserts like cookie ice cream sandwiches.
