How are the cookies made without baking?

The cookies are made by blending ground pecans, cashews, buckwheat, cacao powder, Medjool dates, and vanilla extract in a food processor until a dough forms, then chilling and rolling it out.

What are the two filling options for these Oreos?

You can choose between a creamy coconut butter-based creme filling or a refreshing frozen banana-based ice cream filling, both flavored with peppermint and optional matcha.

Can I adjust the sweetness or mintiness of the creme filling?

Yes, when making the creme filling, stir in maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener) and peppermint extract a little at a time until you reach your desired taste.

How do I prevent the ice cream filling from becoming too soft?

When blending the frozen bananas, peppermint extract, non-dairy milk, and matcha, blend only until it just reaches a smooth, soft-serve texture and avoid over-blending.

What is the best way to store these Raw Matcha Mint Oreos?

Since the cookies are raw and one filling option is ice cream, it's best to store the assembled Oreos in the freezer to maintain their texture and freshness.

How to Prepare Raw Matcha Mint Oreos [Vegan]

To Make the Cookies:

Blend all ingredients in a food processor, until “dough” starts clumping into a large ball. Take dough from food processor, smoosh into one large ball and place in the refrigerator in a covered container while you make the creme filling. If making the ice cream filling, allow the dough to set in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, then roll out the dough and cut into circles before making the ice cream.
Take the dough out and lay on top of a sheet of parchment paper. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin or wine bottle to roll out the dough about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out rounds with a cookie cutter. Gather the scraps and roll out again until you’ve used up all the dough. Lay rounds on a parchment paper-lined cookie tray and pop in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.

To Make the Creme Filling:

Stir all of the ingredients together, adding sweetener and peppermint a little at a time until you reach the desired sweetness and minty-ness.

To Make the Ice Cream Filling:

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until it just reaches a smooth, soft-serve ice cream texture. Don’t over-blend or it will become too soft.
