    I found the batter better tasting than the cookie. Not sure if my oats are too hearty? I used pb instead of tahini. Good flavor but dry.

    I was craving a breakfast cookie this morning so I tried out this recipe. I didn’t have tahini so I subbed for almond butter and used raisins instead of chocolate chips. They came out tasty, not too sweet, and with a pleasant texture. Kind of crispy on the edges, but still soft and fluffy. Would make again! I baked for 12 minutes and ended up with 9 cookies.

    These are so good! I can’t have coconut at all so I subbed avocado oil, worked great! Seriously so good, don’t skip the sea salt on top!

    I subbed the tahini for peanut butter and it was so good!! I made them for my 16-year-old boy friend that is gluten-free and even he loved them! Try dipping them in almond milk!!

    Oh. My. Goodness. Just pulled these from the oven, let them cool for a few, and tried one… my word, these are absolutely incredible!!! The texture is insane, so soft and fluffy. Wow wow wow! 10/10! And I will be making this time and time again. I followed the recipe exactly how written, except I didn’t have flax so I added a little extra almond flour. Turned out perfect!

    These are incredible! I put a little less maple syrup and about 1.5 more tablespoons of almond flour and they are so delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe! Will definitely be my new go-to.

    Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have always been my absolute favorite cookie so I am so glad I found these! I subbed cashew butter for tahini and they turned out amazing. Can’t wait to make again soon!
