    Jump to Recipe

    I promise that you will absolutely love these healthy 3 ingredients tahini cookies.

    With only 136 calories per cookie, it will satisfy your cookie cravings in a better and healthier way, compared to store-bought ones.

    Why is that? Because we will only use awesome wholesome ingredients in these cookies which are oats, natural 100% tahini paste and unrefined brown sugar. Nothing else.

    Let's get started, shall we?

    Size - 12 cookies, 136 calories/cookie

    Level - Super easy, one bowl recipe

    Diet - Gluten free, vegan

    Lets Talk Ingredients

    Ingredients for healthy tahini cookies

    Tahini - 100% tahini paste, natural, unsweetened. Make sure you mix the tahini well since the oil tends to separate and you get the thicker consistency at the bottom of the jar.

    SUBSTITUTION: Use any other natural unsweetened nut paste or butter like peanuts, almond or cashew.

    Oats - I use instant oats

    Sugar - I use unrefined brown sugar. You can use any type of brown sugar, of course, including coconut sugar.

    How To Store

    I keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. As simple as that.

    They're best consumed within 5 days. You can easily freeze them also, no problem at all. Just thaw at room temperature.

    You can crumble a cookie and sprinkle it on your plain yogurt, no need to sweeten it with anything else. Try!

        Hi! Instant oats are finer in texture, they mix and bake easier compared to others (which are tougher). Hope it helps!

      These were very delicious and easy to make. I made 4 dozen and froze two dozen of them for later use. They are great with tea and with my afternoon yoghurt.
