    You’ll absolutely fall in LOVE with these tahini breakfast cookies because they are

    • incredibly easy to make.
    • nutritious.
    • made in only one bowl.
    • customizable.
    • perfect for both lunch boxes AND cookie jars!

    WHAT YOU’LL NEED

    Tahini: I use sugar free organic Greek tahini.

    Oats: I use old-fashioned oats.

    Nuts: I use walnuts.

    Maple syrup: It really has a nice, rich flavor without making the cookies overly sweet.

    Spices: I use a combination of cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. I think they go great with maple syrup!

    Vanilla: I use pure vanilla extract.

    Fruit: I use dried cranberries.

    HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY TAHINI BREAKFAST COOKIES IN 4 EASY STEPS

    STEP 1

    Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined using a silicone/rubber spatula.

    STEP 2

    Form balls with a cookie scoop or spoon, about 25 g / 0.88 oz each and place them on a baking sheet.

    STEP 3

    Gently press each ball with the palm of your hand to flatten them slightly.

    STEP 4

    Bake.

    That’s literally it!

     TIPS FOR SUCCESS

    • I suggest weighing each ball of dough so that the cookies bake uniformly. For this recipe, each piece of dough I weighed was around 25 g / 0.88 oz each, which resulted in 16 cookies.
    • Don’t make these cookies too flat. There aren't any leaveners in them, so they won’t puff up or rise much in the oven.
    • These cookies tend to turn light brown on the bottom, rather than on the edges. So, I wouldn't bake them longer than suggested. This way they stay soft and chewy, even a few days later. If you overbake them, they’ll get hard.

    CUSTOMIZABLE VARIATIONS

    • Honey: You could replace the maple syrup with honey, but keep in mind that it will be a bit sweeter.
    • Add-ins: Feel free to add in some of your favorites, like raisins, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, dried apples or apricots! OR…chocolate chips!! The sky’s the limit, really!
    • Flavorings: Orange or lemon zest would bring out a nice citrus flavor.

    I hope you enjoy these healthy tahini breakfast cookies!

    Notes

    * The size of your cookies before you bake them will determine the overall servings. I suggest weighing each ball of dough so that the cookies bake uniformly.
    For this recipe each piece of dough I weighed was about 25 g / 0.88 oz,  which resulted in 16 cookies.  
    Baking Measurements: I have used weight measurements for all the recipes on this website. Even though I have also included American volume measurements for convenience, I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all ingredients for the most accurate measurements. Digital kitchen scales are more precise than cups, which is so important in baking, and they give the most accurate, consistent results. Happy baking!

      I made these cookies recently with my 3-year-old and they were delicious - I'd definitely make them again! I kept them super simple with just raisins and peanuts as that's what I had. They were exactly as the recipe describes - a bit crispy on the outside and deliciously soft and yummy on the inside. I've made similar cookies before but these are my favourite. Thank you!
