Vegan Tahini Snickerdoodles
These vegan tahini snickerdoodles are also gluten free and made with healthier ingredients - like all of my dessert recipes. Oat flour and almond flour keeps this recipe gluten free and adds in healthy fiber and fats. Coconut sugar and maple syrup keep this recipe refined sugar free. One could say that this is a healthy cookie recipe.
I do not recommend subbing out most of the ingredients in this recipe. Gluten free and vegan baking is hard to do and the flours in this recipe work specifically well together. The only thing that can be swapped out are the sweeteners, maple syrup can be subbed for another liquid sweetener and coconut sugar can be swapped for another granular sweetener. Cream of tarter is what gives snickerdoodles their quintessential tang and chew so this is another ingredient that must be left in. I also recommend sticking to a high quality and very drippy tahini. If your tahini is not liquidy then this recipe will not work.
This recipe is a very easy one bowl cookie recipe. To make you literally just add all of your ingredients to a bowl and then mix. The dough is stickier since it is a gluten free and vegan cookie recipe so I recommend working quickly and with wet hands.

I’m no gifted baker so held out little hope for these turning out well but honestly, they were the tastiest cookies I’ve made and such a great recipe to follow! Love that they are naturally gluten free and the tahini flavour is amazing. They come out such a lovely texture as well, perfect with a cup of herbal tea!
