Continuing my Matcha love, I am so excited to share these Matcha cookies! If you’re new to Matcha, check out my Matcha Granola post to get to know this sophisticated superfood a little more and how to pick the best quality powder.
If you love cookies and love matcha (or is your first time trying matcha), here’s why I think you’d love these cookies… they’re:
- vegan, gluten free & oil-free dairy-free
- easy and fast to make
- the perfect amount of matcha to taste its beautiful flavour but without the bitterness
- crispy on the edges and soft and crumbly toward the centre (we’re talking melt-in-your-mouth)
- perfect for an afternoon tea, snack or even dessert!

Ingredients
- 1 c oat flour (125g)
- 2 tsp matcha powder (I get mine from Encha)
- 1/3 c tahini
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp aluminium free baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Optional: 4 tbsp 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 tbsp of dough per cookie in lined baking tray
- Bake for 12-14 minutes

Looks amazing!!! Can I sub tahini with any nut butters?
yes 🙂 it may be thicker though so you may need to add a bit of liquid
LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!
Can i sub the tahini with grounded sesame seeds?
What will happen if i omit it?
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.
Hi! Can i use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar?
Yes!
Such a great recipe Lisa! My cookies turned out so well, sweet enough with the perfect cookie texture. Thank you!
Do I need the tahini and baking powder in this recipe? Can I substitute them for something else? Thanks! Otherwise, looks great!!
Hi Carolina! You can use cashew butter instead but the baking powder helps it rise slightly.
Hi, is it possible to sub the oat fluor to all-purpose GF or rice fluor? Thanks
Yes! You can use all purpose flour 🙂
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!
so so good, thanks very much!!
