Notes
* Runny Middle Eastern/Lebanese tahini works best for this recipe. I get mine from a local ethnic/Asian shop. Here‘s the brand I usually use.** Chia seeds also work, or you can use 1 whole egg if you don’t mind the recipe not being vegan.*** I make my own oat flour by blending plain oats into a fine flour in the food processor. Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free.**** I usually use dark chocolate chips, but when I reshot the images I decided to use vegan white choc chips. Any chocolate chips will work! You can even substitute for chopped nuts and dried fruit.You can easily double the recipe to make a larger batch!
