Let’s be honest. Kids love cookies. As a matter of fact, we all love cookies. But because like me it is your lifestyle or maybe for a change you want delicious AND healthy cookies too, your search ends here with my best vegan oatmeal cookies with tahini. Yes, I have made them with some wonderful tahini paste (so nutritious and tasty). No dairy, no eggs and no white sugar ! Because I like to boost all type of food with the GOOD ingredients, cookies included. Isn’t it magic ? A delicious gooey vegan oatmeal cookie with tahini that is packed with a lot of benefits and is ‘croquant’ from the outside !

And great news, there is no need at all to refrigerate the dough. So this recipe will be incredibly quick.

This yummy best vegan oatmeal cookies recipe is actually a combination of banana, oat flakes, tahini paste, maple syrup and dark chocolate chips or huge chunks of dark chocolate. Don’t forget some good vanilla and some flaky Himalayan sea salt for a best result.

This can’t be simple?!

It is a very very simple cookie recipe. I promise.

All you need is very ripe bananas. The ripest they are the sweetest will your cookies be. If I say ripe, it is also because you’ll have to mash the bananas with a fork, add the oat and the tahini paste. Add the maple syrup, the vanilla pod and a pinch of salt. You will have to mix it well until fully combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks of chocolate into the batter without over mixing or add the chocolate pieces at the very end, your choice.

Shape the cookies & bake them.

Are the cookies gluten free?

If you go for gluten free oats and you can eat oats, this cookie recipe can be totally gluten free. It’s a winner recipe.

Tip on how to do beautiful healthy cookies

An ice cream scoop maker is the best way to scoop out the dough. Then you simply place it on your parchment paper and flatten it with your hands or with a fork.

Extra tip regarding the ingredients

Using high quality ingredients will definitely be part of satisfying properly any cookie cravings. It will make delicious homemade & healthy cookies.

For my tahini paste, made of sesame seeds, I always look for organic tahini and I can buy unhulled tahini sometimes too. If the sesame seeds are unhulled, the husk is still there and they will contain more fiber. I found that unhulled tahini tastes nuttier and stronger.

Regarding the vanilla, I always bring my vanilla pods from where I have been travelling and my family can definitely taste the difference while I am using a pod or some vanilla extract. So far, my best vanilla pods soft and pliable were from Mauritius with an amazing aroma.

No more Tahini ?

If you run out of tahini paste, it is not a problem at all. Replace it with some nut butter (cashew is actually a great one for this recipe) and it still a HUGE winner recipe!
