Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs can sub flax eggs for vegan, but I have not tried myself!
  • ½ cup smooth tahini
  • ½ cup melted nondairy butter can sub melted coconut oil
  • 1 ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup gluten-free oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract optional but highly recommend!
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup nondairy chocolate chunks
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the tahini, eggs, melted butter, extracts, and coconut sugar until smooth.
  2. Mix in the dry ingredients until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  3. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about 20-23 min or until browning on the edges. If you want these gooey, be sure to not overbake them! Let cool before slicing and enjoying!

Notes

To get very gooey cookie bars, bake for only 20 min.
