- Line a mini muffin pan with 20 liners and press batter down into the bottoms of each mould. Place your entire pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the cookie dough.

Notes
*soak dates in warm water for 5-10mins if not soft. Drain, pat dry and continue with recipe.
*can sub cashew butter for any creamy nut butter. Cashew and almond are my favourites!
*I used Nuzest Vegan Protein Powder. If you don't have protein powder you can sub 1-2tbsp coconut flour.
