The recipe for these healthy oatmeal tahini chocolate chunk cookies is your new favorite cookie recipe. They are soft, chewy, and come together in less than thirty minutes.
One of my biggest joys in life is watching my friends, family, and most importantly Tom (my boyfriend for those of you who are new around here) eat my ‘healthier’ desserts and literally look at me like, “How can this possibly be healthy? It tastes amazing!”
The initial reaction I get from like seriously everyone is, “Oh, I probably wouldn’t like it!”
I mean I guess I can understand why that would be the initial reaction when I’m making desserts out of tofu and chickpeas, but its worth a shot to try it right?
In fact, two of my most high performing posts and made recipes are exactly those you guessed it, made from tofu and chickpeas.
The part I love the most is that people who don’t know what they are made of are always genuinely surprised when I tell them, but then they KEEP eating it. Sweet potatoes in cake? Sure! Tofu in frosting? There’s no stopping me!
If it tastes good, why not?!
It really has been a wild ride trying all different healthy combinations and trying to get my family and friends on board with this way of living, and I’ve definitely had some major success. Everyone looks forward to what treats I’m going to bring and what treats they are going to be able to try.
So last weekend it was my job to create cookies for a party and I have had my heart set on some healthy oatmeal tahini chocolate chunk cookies.
I knew that they needed to be soft with a slightly chewy outside because no body likes a dry oatmeal cookies.
And raisins? Well they had to sit out of this party because it was chocolate chip time.
So if you’re in the mood for some delicious healthy oatmeal tahini chocolate chunk cookies, I’m your girl and this is your recipe!

Can you sub almond or coconut flour in this to make it GF?
You can try almond flour!! May need a little bit more.
Sounds like a delicious combination of ingredients. But I wanted to know if the coconut oil should be melted or just soft. And when resting the cookie dough, should it be at room temperature or in the fridge? Thanks.
Coconut oil should be melted, and resting just at room temp! Hope this helps.
