Notes
So let’s chat for a minute. Tahini & chocolate can be pricy ingredients. You know what else is…oat flour. You can buy it in a bag, ready to go & I’m not knocking that, you do you. However, if you want to save a bit of money & have one extra minute, do yourself a favor & make your own. Simply place rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until it forms a fine, flour consistency. So simple!
If you are a chocolate fanatic feel free to add more chocolate or even melt some chocolate with a bit of coconut oil & drizzle over the top.
Let these cookies cool for a few minutes so they can firm up, but I won’t judge if you consume immediately & often.
Enjoy!!!!!!!
