Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats

- 2 Tbs tahini
- 1/2 cup date sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- Garnish: black sesame seeds and dried rose petals
Instructions:
In a medium sauce pan, add the peanut butter, tahini, coconut oil, milk and vanilla. Turn onto low-medium heat and melt the ingredients until you can whisk them until incorporated.
Add the date sugar and bring to a mild boil. When reaches a boil, add the oats and vanilla, then turn off the heat and mix immediately.
Prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Scoop a spoonful out for each cookie and let them set in the refrigerator for an hour or more.
Garnish with black sesame seeds and dried rose petals to make them beautiful.
Notes:
- Sweetener Options:
- These cookies are sweetened naturally with date sugar. Adjust the quantity of sugar based on your desired level of sweetness, if you like them more sweet increase the amount by 1/4-1/2 cup.
- Feel free to experiment with other natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey if you prefer a different flavor profile.
- Consistency Matters:
- The consistency of the tahini can affect the texture of the cookies. Use a smooth and well-stirred tahini for the best results.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a bit more tahini or a splash of plant-based milk to achieve a dough-like consistency.
- Texture Enhancement:
- For added texture and crunch, incorporate chopped nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut into the cookie mixture.
- Toasted sesame seeds on top of each cookie can provide a delightful nutty flavor and an attractive finish.
- Chill Time:
- Allow the cookies to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances the flavors.
- If you’re short on time, placing them in the freezer for a quicker chill is also an option.
- Storage Tips:
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness.
- These no-bake cookies can also be frozen for longer shelf life. Just thaw them for a few minutes before enjoying.
- Customization:
- Get creative with add-ins! Chocolate chips, dried fruit, or a hint of cinnamon can add extra layers of flavor.
- Consider drizzling a small amount of melted dark chocolate on top for an indulgent touch.
- Allergy Considerations:
- Confirm the ingredients are suitable for any dietary restrictions or allergies. These cookies are naturally gluten-free and can be adapted for various dietary needs.
- Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy these tahini no-bake cookies as a guilt-free treat with a cup of herbal tea or your favorite non-dairy milk.
- They make a great energy-boosting snack for those moments when you need a quick pick-me-up.
