WHAT IS A TAHINI COOKIE?

-chewy

-soft

-healthy

-and so satisfying.

HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY TAHINI CHOCOLATE STUFFED COOKIES?

SUBSTITUTE FOR TAHINI IN COOKIES

I recommend you using tahini to make this Tahini Chocolate Stuffed Cookies recipe. However, if for any reason you will not be using tahini, you can substitute with any other smooth nut butter (peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter). But keep in mind it will slightly affect the final flavor.

Equipment

• Blender or food processor*
• Fork
• Mixing bowl
• Baking tray
• Baking paper

Ingredients

• 150 g oats**
• 50 g coconut sugar or brown sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 100 ml plant-based milk***
• 50 g vegan butter
• 20 g tahini or any other nut butter
• 10 squares dark chocolate bar about 50 g

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
• Add the oats, coconut sugar, and cinnamon in a blender*. Blend until the mixture turns into flour. 
  
• Transfer the flour into a mixing bowl and add the plant-based milk to the mixture. Using a fork, mix until dough comes together.
• Add the tahini and vegan butter to the bowl and mix with the fork until you get a uniform, smooth dough.
  
• Put baking sheet on a baking tray.
• Using a tablespoon, drop 10 balls of dough on the baking sheet. 
  
• Using your finger, push a square of chocolate in the middle of each cookie and use your fingers to partially cover the chocolate.
  
• Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges of the cookies look slightly brown.
  
• Let cool for 5 minutes, and enjoy!

Notes

*If you don't have a blender, you can still make this recipe by mixing the dry ingredients with a whisk (or fork). The mixture won't be as smooth as the oats won't be reduced into flour, but the taste should remain the same. You can also get oat flour from a store to get the same results without a blender. If you are thinking of investing in a blender that is not too expensive, this Nutribullet blender is, from my experience, one of the best small blenders that you can get for an affordable price.

** If you are gluten intolerant, sensitive or allergic, make sure to use gluten-free oat flour as normal oats can contain traces of gluten.

***I have tested this recipe with coconut milk and rice milk, which both worked perfectly. However, any other plant-milk can be used to make this recipe.
