Tahini Oatmeal Cookies Vegan Gluten free
These tahini oatmeal cookies offer a soft, chewy texture thanks to oat flour and old-fashioned oats combined with tahini and maple syrup for moisture and sweetness. The recipe is vegan and gluten-free when using oat flour, with warming cinnamon and a touch of vanilla adding to the flavor profile. A sprinkling of flaked salt on top balances the sweetness and enhances the cookie's rich notes.
