Soft, chewy, and packed with seeds, these Tahini Breakfast Cookies are the ultimate healthy make-ahead breakfast or snack! Customizable, naturally sweetened, and ready in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 150 g (1+1/2 cup) cups rolled oats
  • 125 g (1 cup) mixed seeds I like a mixture of pumpkin, sunflower, poppy & sesame seeds
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) chopped dates
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 125 g (3/8 cup) honey / maple syrup
  • 75 g (1/3 cup) tahini
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg / flax egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160°c fan/180°c/350°f and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Blitz 50g (½ cup) of the oats in a high speed food processor to a flour.
  • Mix the oat flour, rolled oats, seeds, chia seeds, dates, cinnamon, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
  • In a smaller bowl mix together the honey/maple syrup, tahini, coconut oil, vanilla and egg until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix everything together well.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to scoop 12 balls of the mixture onto the lined baking tray. Using your fingertips, lightly flatten each one into a 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Bake the cookies in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

For vegan cookies, use a flax egg and maple syrup.

Swap dates for raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots if desired.

Use certified gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Add dark chocolate chips, coconut, or nuts for extra flavor.
