Craving cookies but allergic to gluten? Or just looking for weekend bakespiration? These cookies are JUST the thing for you!
Tahini and chocolate are a batch made in heaven! Seriously! You have to try these ULTRA DELICIOUS tahini chocolate chip cookies that are a powerhouse of fiber, healthy fats and protein, AND they’re vegan & gluten-free!
I randomly came up with this recipe when I was craving chocolate chip cookies one day. I looked up a few healthy recipes and they required peanut butter or almond butter. I did not have any of those left at home BUT I did have a bunch of tahini in my pantry. So I decided to use that. Before this I had only heard from people saying tahini and chocolate go really well together but I was skeptical. I mean, tahini in itself is SO BITTER. Right? Is it just me? haha. Okay.
But I did make these cookies and OH MY WORD. That tahini is these cookies are bomb delicious. I don’t even have enough words to express how well they went together. The texture is perfect. Soft and crumbly on the inside with just the right bite to it. Honestly, you will know
