Tahini Oatmeal Cookies Vegan Gluten free
Description
The recipe blends wet ingredients—tahini, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract—with dry ingredients including oat flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and oats. The dough is chilled briefly before scooping and pressing into flat discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Baking at 345°F for 12 to 14 minutes produces cookies with a tender crumb and subtle nutty undertones from the tahini. Flaked salt on top provides contrast and texture.
This cookie dough can be customized by adding chopped dark chocolate, candied ginger or orange, or nuts. Store the baked cookies on the counter for up to four days or refrigerate for longer freshness. The recipe accommodates substitutions, such as using all-purpose flour for gluten tolerance or swapping maple syrup for sugar with additional non-dairy milk.
The recipe yields cookies with a rustic, slightly chewy bite enriched by tahini, making them satisfyingly different from traditional oatmeal cookies. They pair well with tea or coffee as a wholesome treat.
