Paistamattomat afgaanikeksit
Ainekset
- 1 kuppi Medjoolin päivämäärät - pitted (note 1) 5 ounces / 150g
- 2 ruokalusikallista Manteli voi - (huomautus 2)
- 2 ruokalusikallista Makeuttamaton kaakaojauhe
- 1 ½ kupit maissihiutaleet - (huomautus 3)
- 1 teelusikka Vaniljauute
- 2 ruokalusikallista Vaahterasiirappi - (huomautus 4)
päällyste
- ⅓ kuppi Maidottomat tummasuklaapalat
- ¼ teelusikka Miedon makuinen oliiviöljy - (huomautus 5)
- 9 Walnuts Halves - (huomautus 6)
Ohjeet
- In a large glass bowl, add pitted Medjool dates. Cover with boiled water, set it aside for 5 minutes until the dates are soft.
- Drain, discard the water, and place the soaked dates in the bowl of a food processor.
- In the food processor add: almond butter, cocoa powder, cornflakes, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- Blend on medium-high speed until it forms a batter that you can squeeze into your hand to form a ball. It will be sticky, but it shouldn't be too wet. If too wet, blend in a bit more cornflakes. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon of water. Blend again until it forms a soft dough that you can easily roll.
- Lightly oil your hands with cooking oil spray, roll 9 balls of about 1 tablespoon each, and press them between your hands to form a flat cookie. Place each ball on a plate covered with parchment paper. Set aside in the fridge.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and oil, and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Bring back the cookies from the fridge, drizzle a little melted chocolate on top of each, and press a walnut in the center.
- Repeat until all cookies are decorated. Pop the plate in the freezer 10 minutes to harden the chocolate layer.

Ainesosat ja vaihdot
Tarvitset vain muutaman yksinkertaisen ainesosan tämän reseptin valmistukseen. Näin valitset ja vaihdat ne.

- Medjoolin päivämäärät – These act as the primary sticky binder and natural sweetener. Medjool dates are naturally soft, but other date varieties work well if you soak them longer or add a splash of water.
- Manteli voi – This adds healthy fats and helps hold the dough together. Peanut butter or cashew butter are great swaps, and sunflower seed butter or tahini work perfectly for a nut-free version.
- Makeuttamaton kaakaojauhe – This provides the rich chocolate flavor essential to an Afghan cookie.
- maissihiutaleet – These bring the classic crunch and texture associated with this traditional cookie. You must use certified gluten-free cornflakes if you need the recipe to be gluten-free, or you can use puffed rice or oats for a different texture.
- Vaniljauute – This enhances the chocolate notes in the dough.
- Vaahterasiirappi – This adds a touch of extra sweetness and moisture to the batter. Agave syrup or coconut nectar are suitable liquid sweetener alternatives.
- Tumma suklaalastut – This creates the signature glossy icing on top of the cookie.
- Miedon makuinen oliiviöljy – This helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives the icing a nice shine.
- Saksanpähkinän puolikkaat – This is the traditional decoration for an Afghan biscuit. Pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds are good alternatives for the topping.

Carinen leivontavinkkejä
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect Afghan cookie.
- Adjust moisture slowly – The texture of your batter depends on the moisture content of your dates. If the dough is too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time until you get a sticky chocolate batter that rolls easily.
- Add crunch inside – For an extra nutty flavor and texture, pulse 1/3 cup of walnuts into the food processor mixture.







I’m a bit concerned that 360ml of cornflakes is the right amount. I’ve only added 40ml so far as I have a small processor and it doesn’t appear that there is enough mixture for the amount of cornflakes. I still have a massive bowl of cornflakes left.
The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup which is 42 grams of cornflakes.
A must try!!! So delicious and a keeper for a healthier treat!! Thank you
