    Tahini Maple Syrup Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten free & vegan)

    Vegan tahini chocolate chip cookies

    ★★★★★

    5 from 4 reviews

    My boyfriend asked me to make a "normal" chocolate chip cookie and these Tahini Maple Syrup Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten free & vegan) are where I landed. And not to be dramatic - but these are my favorite cookies  I have ever made.

    I was nervous about only using maple syrup as a sweetener, but the texture and flavor of these cookies is divine. These cookies - per the usual of my baking recipes - are super easy to make as well. You only need one bowl and ~10 ingredients to make them.

    These vegan tahini chocolate chip cookies are

    • healthy
    • gluten free
    • refined sugar free
    • easy to make
    • delicious!

    Ingredients

    Wet

    • 1 flax egg ( 1 tbsp ground flax  + 3 tbsp water)
    • ½ cup maple syrup
    • ½ cup cold drippy tahini (refrigerated)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    Dry

    • ⅔ cup + 3 tbsp oat flour
    • ⅓ cup almond flour
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • 1 cup chocolate chips

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Make your flax egg by mixing flax and water. Let the "egg" sit refrigerated for 10-30 minutes to set.
    3. In a large bowl mix together your wet ingredients including the flax egg. Pour in dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips and mix. Lastly fold in the chocolate chips.
    4. On a lined sheet pan form 8-10 evenly sized cookies - using about 1 ½ tablespoon worth of dough per cookie. I recommend wetting your hands before forming the cookies as the dough is sticky.
    5. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Let cool and top with additional flaky salt if desired.

      SOOO good. The consistency and texture of these are absolutely incredible. I used the bob's red mill egg replacer instead of a flax egg, and for me this recipe made about 12 cookies rather than 8-10. I would have baked them a little longer too, I did 11 minutes but felt they could've gone for 13 or 14. Delicious though! I'll definitely be making these again!
