Monday just got a whole lot better with these gluten-free tahini oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies (say that 10 times fast) and and and they’re VEGAN.

These cookies are vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free, but they sure don’t taste like it. 

Listen, I think cookies are part of a healthy diet–I really do. Everything in moderation.

Buttttt sometimes it is nice to mix in something that you just can’t feel bad about. Aka whole, natural ingredients that fuel your body and don’t leave you with a sugar spike.

But but I also don’t want those whole, natural ingredients to taste like cardboard. And don’t you dare try to feed me some stevia-sweetended oat brick and tell me it’s a healthy “cookie.” Good for you stuff doesn’t have to taste like it, kind of like those raw brownies I made a little while ago.

These cookies do not taste like an oat brick. In fact, they don’t even taste like they’re healthy at all.

Sofi and I made these 3 times in one week and are still not sick of them.

I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten. And I’ve eaten my fair sure of cookies. They’re sweetened with maple syrup and dates, making them just sweet enough, but also salty enough to keep things interesting.

The combination of vanilla, cinnamon, and maple with tahini’s signature sesame-y undertones make for a complex flavor that I could literally eat everyday. Toss in some hunks of dark chocolate and I AM SOLD.

Make these cookies. Like just do it.

DO IT.

…and let me know how it goes 🙂

XOXO!
