Tahini Oatmeal Cookies {Vegan}
For the past few years, my approach to baking has changed. I avoid refined sugars, many of the baked goods I make are now free of eggs and dairy, and sometimes they are free of wheat flour as well. Cookies are one such example, and because a good store-bought cookie is hard to find — they are almost always too sweet for my more savory tastes, and include ingredients I don't often know how to pronounce or identify — I always make my own cookies when I have a craving.
And craving a good oatmeal cookie, I came up with this recipe that comes together in hardly anytime at all. Somewhat modified and adapted from my recipe for tahini oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies, they are eggless, flourless, and no additional oil or butter is needed either due to the addition of tahini. I'm made these twice in the past few weeks, with some adjustments the second time around. These cookies have a nice chewy texture, with a slightly nutty flavor from the addition of almond flour and tahini, and are rather like a chewy granola bar. I wanted the oats to shine, but for variation, fold some dark chocolate chunks, raisins or chopped nuts into the batter.
