- ½ egg beaten
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour plain flour
- ½ cup oats old fashioned rather than quick
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda bicarbonate of soda
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Notes
If you find the dough too soft/moist, you can add another 1tbsp of flour, if needed.
Instead of medjool dates, you can also use semi-hydrated 'regular' dates (typically deglat nour), sometimes called 'soft and juicy' that will blend up much easier than regular dried dates. These dates are often a bit stronger in flavor and sweetness than medjool (as well as cheaper) so can be a good option.
