Ingredients
- 1 c oat flour (125g)
- 2 teaspoon matcha powder (I get mine from Encha)
- ⅓ c tahini
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoon almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon aluminium free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Optional: 4 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Notes
- Total time: <30 minutes
- Makes 10-12 cookies
- Longer bake time yields crunchier cookies while short bake time yields softer and crumbly cookies
- the smaller you make them, the less baking time you will need & will also yield a more crunchy cookie
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients into another.
- Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
- Scoop around 1.5 tablespoon of dough per cookie in lined baking tray
- Bake for 12-14 minutes

Just made this and they are so good! I was skeptical at first (tahini + matcha seemed like too much bitterness) but the maple syrup comes through and they are amazing.
Matcha is supposed to help with memory retention so hoping they will help me get through finals!
Marta says
Hi, is it possible to sub the oat fluor to all-purpose GF or rice fluor? Thanks
Lisa Kitahara says
Yes! You can use all purpose flour 🙂
Carolina says
Do I need the tahini and baking powder in this recipe? Can I substitute them for something else? Thanks! Otherwise, looks great!!
Lisa Kitahara says
Hi Carolina! You can use cashew butter instead but the baking powder helps it rise slightly.
Roxie says
Hi! Can i use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar?
Lisa Kitahara says
Yes!
Francesca says
Such a great recipe Lisa! My cookies turned out so well, sweet enough with the perfect cookie texture. Thank you!
Amy says
Can i sub the tahini with grounded sesame seeds?
What will happen if i omit it?
Lisa Kitahara says
If you blend the grounded sesame seeds into a paste you can! It will not work without it since it's the base of the cookies.
Erin says
LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!
Carmen Lee says
Looks amazing!!! Can I sub tahini with any nut butters?
Lisa Kitahara says
yes 🙂 it may be thicker though so you may need to add a bit of liquid
