Introduction
There's no getting around it - these bites are unlike anything you have *ever* tried. For one thing, they are gluten free, nut free and completely vegan. But secondly, these carob-battered cookies are sugarless too: the dates and stevia serve an ample job of sweetening! Keep in mind the flavour won't be like your standard chocolate cookie base, though: these are definitely bittersweet, and the stevia has a licoricey undertone that's not necessarily unpleasant.

Ingredients
-
8 oz chopped dates
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/4 cup millet flour
1/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup yellow corn flour (not cornstarch)
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp powdered stevia
3/4 cup carob powder
2/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup reserved date-soaking water
1/2 cup black sesame seeds
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F, line 2 baking sheets with parchment, SilPat or foil.
Place dates in a deep bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit 15 minutes, then drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the water.
In a medium bowl, sift together all the flours, cinnamon, salt, stevia and carob powder. Set aside.
Meanwhile in a larger bowl, whisk together oil and the reserved date water.
Add the dry ingredients and stir well to combine (it will be very stiff), then add dates and sesame seeds and mix in thoroughly. Batter will loosen up as it works.
Roll small balls from the dough and flatten slightly. Place on prepared sheets (they don't spread so you can place fairly close together).
Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely on the sheets.
