Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies! A grown-up and decadent vegan chocolate chip cookie! Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and gluten-free.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup oat flour, or all-purpose flour, see notes
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- pinch ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus flaky sea salt to top
- 1.5 oz chopped vegan chocolate or chocolate chips, see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, a silpat or lightly grease and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the tahini, maple syrup and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add in the oats, flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt and mix together again. Stir in the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to soften in the mixture before baking.
- Scoop the cookies (I use this cookie scoop) onto the prepared parchment paper. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt*** and bake for 9-10 minutes, until golden brown on top but still soft in the center.
- Remove and let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
*To make oat flour: Place oats into a blender and blend until a flour forms. Or, you can use all-purpose flour.
** I tried these with dark chocolate and much prefer the taste of milk chocolate with these!
***This is my favorite sea salt! It's so flaky and perfect in these cookies.
