One Bowl Tahini Cookies - Vegan and Gluten Free
These tahini cookies are vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, need only one bowl and take only 20 minutes! They are a delicious and nutritious treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond meal
- ¾ cup tahini
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- a generous pinch of salt
- ½ tsp cardamom powder or ginger powder optional
- 2 tbsp crystallised ginger optional, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with some parchment paper.
- Add the almond meal, salt, cardamom powder/ginger powder if using into a large bowl.
- Make a well in the middle and add the tahini, maple syrup and vanilla. Add in the optional ginger pieces and mix into a dough.
- I find using my hands the easiest way to do this. If the dough seems a little sticky, add a tbsp of almond meal and mix in.
- Pinch into small balls, flatten and bake for 10 minutes.
Notes
- Almond Meal - I buy mine readymade but it is easily doable at home. Grind almonds in a food processor or mixie in batches until it is a powder.
- Tahini - I use runny tahini that combines easily. If yours is a little thick - microwave it for 30 seconds or add the maple syrup, tahini into a saucepan and simmer until melted.
- Each oven is different. So, it may take 10-12 minutes. Wait till the edges become slightly golden and remove.
