Healthy-ish Heart Shaped Oreos

I love the idea of Oreos, but not how sugar filled and unhealthy they are, so I came up with my own healthier version.

Makes 16

3 tablespoons raw cacao

3 tablespoons cacao nibs

what to do

Preheat oven to 160 fan forced. Line a cookie tray with baking paper.

Place the oats, sugar, sun flower seeds, salt, vanilla powder and raisins in a food processor and pulse until a flour forms. Then add the cacao, nibs and pistachios and pulse a few times, then add the peanut butter, butter and the flax egg and pulse again until combined. Roll out cookie dough between two sheets of baking paper to a thickness of about 5mm and use a heart shaped cookie cutter to press out your cookies.

Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool before forming your cookies.

To make the filling simply stir all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. The mixture should be quite firm, but still spreadable.
