Salted Chocolate Chunk Tahini Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

These 5-ingredient Gluten-Free & Vegan Salted Chocolate Chunk Tahini Oatmeal Cookies make for one quick, easy, healthy and delicious treat perfect for breakfast, a snack or a dessert!

Tahini and chocolate always go together. And, if you've never tried this delectable combo before, you are in for a real treat!

I created these when I was a craving a sweet treat that was not overly indulgent. Oats paired with very dark chocolate, protein & nutrient rich tahini, & sweetened by maple syrup make for a rather healthy & guilt free cookie! (Not to mention, only 5 ingredients!)

These delights are wonderfully chewy, very satisfyingly filling, ridiculously delicious and pair very well coffee (if I must say so myself)!
