Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup tahini (smooth)

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/3 cup almond flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for a delicious twist)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking as they bake.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Ensure that all dry ingredients are mixed well for even distribution.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding them together with a spatula or spoon until just combined. If desired, now is the time to fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts, creating a delightful texture and flavor.

          Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out rounded amounts of dough and place them on the lined baking sheet. Be sure to leave about 2 inches of space between cookies to allow for spreading during baking.

            Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Watch closely; the edges should be lightly golden, while the centers may appear slightly undercooked. This is perfectly fine, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.

              Cool Down: Once baked, carefully remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. After this brief cooling time, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the cookies are cooled to your liking, it's time to indulge! Enjoy your chewy tahini oat cookies with a refreshing glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
