Vegan Tahini, Date & Oat Chocolate Cookies

Tahini-date-syrup-drizzles straight from heaven

There’s a local market here in Berlin (Maybachufer Market) which I go to for the sole purpose of buying tahini and date syrup that are combined in one jar - it is the most delicious combination and so I went ahead and created these scrumptious cookies for us. Let’s bake!

Servings: 9 cookies

Total time: 25 min

Ingredients

200g (2 cups) oat flour

1/3 cup (110g) date syrup

1/3 cup (100g) tahini

1/2 cup (120g) oat milk

pinch of salt

9 pieces of dark chocolate

sesame seeds to top

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a tray with baking paper. 

2. In a bowl, combine the oat flour, date syrup, tahini, oat milk and a pinch of salt. Stir well until a dough forms.

3. With slightly wet hands, take about 1 tbsp worth of dough and shape cookies. Place them on the baking tray, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, sesame seeds and gently press one piece of dark chocolate into the center of each cookie (you can also roughly chop the chocolate to sprinkle over the cookies or work the chocolate chunks into the batter).

4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Enjoy along with some hot coffee or a warming chai tea - and don’t forget to share these cookies with a friend or two!
