3-Ingredient Tahini Oatmeal Cookies

This is one of my go to cookies when I am pressed for time and I am craving for a sweet cookie. It is so easy to make and only requires 3 ingredients which are tahini, rolled oats and dates 😍 And if you do not have tahini, you can use any nut butter or seed butter and the cookies will be just as perfect and satisfying 🤤

From the ingredients, you know these cookies are going to be healthy as they are packed with complex carbohydrates, good fat and are naturally sweetened with dates 🙂 These cookies are also dairy free, oil free and as with most of my baked goods, vegan friendly. I hope you get a chance to try these cookies 😊

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. As always, please let me know what you think of this recipe.

Makes 26 cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup dates, soaked in hot water for at least 1 hour;
• 2 cups rolled oats;
• 5 tbsp tahini (I used a mix of white and black tahini); and
• Water.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper;
2. In a food processor, place the soaked dates (with the water drained and saved for later) and process until a thick paste consistency is formed;
3. Then, add the rolled oats and process until well combined. The mixture should resemble cookie crumbs now;
4. Add the tahini and process until well combined. The mixture should start to resemble a cookie dough now;

   

5. Add water 1 tbsp at a time to the mixture and process until a cookie dough is formed;
6. Once a cookie dough is formed, form into bite sized cookies and place on the baking tray and repeat until all the dough is finished;

   

7. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until slightly darker than golden brown if you prefer your cookies on the tougher side;
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely;

   

9. Store in an air-tight container for up to two weeks; and
10. Enjoy with a cup of tea/coffee 🙂

Happy baking.
