Recipe Highlights
Texture and flavor - Soft cookies with bursting tahini flavor
Size - 12 cookies, 136 calories/cookie
Level - Super easy, one bowl recipe
Diet - Gluten-free, vegan
Lets Talk Ingredients
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, almonds, or cashews.
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 five 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, what happens if you use oats that are not instant? Thanks!
Bea says
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.
