    Magical Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies (Paleo & Vegan)

    By Alanna Taylor-Tobin on Nov 27, 2020 (updated Feb 27, 2025) / 83 Comments Jump to Recipe

    Vegan & Paleo tahini chocolate chip cookies can be yours in 30 minutes with 10 ingredients with this well-tested, top-rated recipe. These cookies are made with cassava and almond flours, coconut oil, and maple syrup. But with their crisp edges and soft, chewy middles, you won't believe they're paleo and vegan.

    The dough is quick to stir together with one bowl and a spoon and the cookies bake up with crispy edges, chewy middles, and rumpled tops. Thanks to Raaka Chocolate for sponsoring this post!

    These paleo tahini chocolate chip cookies have chewy, moist middles thanks to grain-free cassava flour and almond flour.

    It is a well-known tenet of Bojon that "the freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie in your mouth is the best chocolate chip cookie ever." Crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle, with puddles of melted chocolate and notes of vanilla and butterscotch – even when chocolate chip cookies are bad, they're still pretty good.

    BUT THESE. These may be my favorite chocolate chip cookies I've ever made, and that's saying a lot. Because I've made a lot of delicious cookie recipes over the years, including some favorites in my cookbook, Alternative Baker.

    In 2015 I developed some gluten-free tahini oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for GFF magazine which I recently shared here on TBG. They became an instant reader-favorite!

    This is my grain-free / paleo tahini cookie variation, and they are every bit as satisfying if not more so. Here's what one reader had to say about them:

    10/10 Bliss

    “I made these and they're just bliss. I am obsessed, my boyfriend is obsessed, I am so happy. The tahini has kind of a peanut-y flavor, which I badly miss in cookies since AIP, I now use flax and sesame, but can't go back to peanuts. I sprinkled some sesame seeds on top just so they were sexy for pictures, but like I mean COME ON NOW, if you're bored and looking to bake something to scratch a baking itch. THIS IS IT. 10/10”

    Magical Tahini Cookies

    These paleo tahini chocolate chip cookies come together in minutes, spread just the right amount in the oven, and develop the most addictively crispy edges and soft middles. They burst with the flavors of sesame tahini, vanilla, and dark chocolate, all kissed with crunchy flakes of sea salt. The formula doesn't seem like it should work, but it does, beautifully, every time, as though by magic.

    These tahini cookies also happen to be the most allergy friendly cookies to appear on this site. They're all the "frees": grain-free, egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and even refined sugar-free. I've included this recipe in my collection of decadent paleo dessert recipes as well!

    I based the recipe on my vegan paleo chocolate chip cookies, which use cashew butter as the base. The recipe just needed a few small tweaks, but I tested this variation 8 times to get it just right. Needless to say, we've eaten A LOT of cookies this past month.

    Not complaining.

    INGREDIENTS: maple syrup, tahini, chocolate, cassava flour, almond flour (or tiger nut flour), tapioca flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla, ghee (or coconut oil)

    Ingredients & Substitution Suggestions

    These magical cookies come together with 10 ingredients. Be sure to see the recipe card at the end of this post for the full ingredients and instructions.

    Paleo Flours

    A trio of grain-free flours builds the perfect chewy texture. You can read more about them in my gluten-free & grain-free flour guide.

    • Cassava flour: tastes like all-purpose flour with a mild flavor and some sticky texture that helps the cookies hold together and bake up thick.
      • Sub by weight paleo all-purpose flour, or sweet rice flour / GF AP flour for non-paleo.
    • Almond flour (or tiger nut flour, shown here): adds some depth of flavor, helps the cookies brown, makes the edges crispy.
      • Sub by weight other nut or seed flours, or more cassava flour. Or try buckwheat or teff for a different flavor (and possibly non-paleo, depending who you ask)
    • Tapioca flour: makes the dough stretchy, adds extra chew.
      • Sub by weight arrowroot flour.

    Other Key Ingredients

    • This recipe uses half a pound of chocolate, so you want to use the best. I made these with Raaka Maple Dark Baking Chocolate (more on this below!) but any dark chocolate that you like the taste of will work.
    • Tahini creates a rich sesame base. Choose one that is runny for the best results, and be sure to stir the jar very well before measuring. I use Soom organic tahini, which is silky-smooth, runny, and has minimal bitterness - highly recommended.
    • Maple syrup sweetens and moistens the dough. I like darker maple syrup here for added earthy flavor.
    • Coconut oil stands in for butter here. You can use extra-virgin, which is less processed with more coconut flavor, or refined for a neutral flavor. Dairy-eaters can use ghee instead for a non-vegan option.

    Maple-Sweetened Chocolate for Baking

    As a longtime fan of Raaka's unroasted chocolate bars, I was THRILLED when I learned about Raaka Maple Dark Baking Chocolate. These petite chocolate discs are packed with their same unique flavor, in baking form. This super-special chocolate is made from unroasted cacao sweetened with precious maple sugar for chocolate you'll want to save for special occasions.

    Raaka chocolate is:

    • Bean to bar: made from scratch in small batches
    • Transparent trade: sourced from farmer-owned co-ops purchased for greater than fair-trade prices
    • Single origin: with complex flavor profiles from each region's individual growing conditions
    • Unroasted: to preserve the naturally fruity, bright, floral notes of the cacao bean (think high-end coffee made with fresh, lightly roasted beans)
    • Organic: and also vegan!

    Other good paleo baking chocolates to try are:

    • Rad chocolate
    • Hu (gems or bar)
    • Guittard (some coconut sugar options)

    Magical Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies (Paleo & Vegan)

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Soft, chewy tahini chocolate chip cookies that are vegan & paleo. Made in 30 minutes with almond & cassava flours, maple syrup, and coconut oil.
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
    Total: 30 minutes minutes
    Servings: 18 cookies

    Ingredients

    Wet ingredients

    • 1 cup (245 g) room temperature, well-stirred tahini (preferably a runny tahini such as Soom or Kevala)
    • ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (260 g) maple syrup (preferably dark)
    • ⅓ cup (70 g) melted, cooled coconut oil (or ghee if not vegan)
    • 2 teaspoons GF vanilla extract

    Dry ingredients

    • ½ cup (75 g) cassava flour (I use Bob's Red Mill; or try sweet rice or AP flour if not paleo)
    • ½ cup (60 g) blanched almond flour (or use tiger nut, more cassava flour, or oat, buckwheat, or teff flour if not paleo)
    • ¼ cup (28 g) tapioca flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
    • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 8 ounces (230 g) coarsely chopped vegan bittersweet chocolate such as Raaka Maple Dark Baking Chocolate, plus extra for the tops
    • flaky salt such as Maldon, for sprinkling
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Position a rack in the top of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Line 2 rimless cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Make the dough

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth and emulsified.
    • Place a strainer over the bowl and sift in the cassava, tiger nut, and tapioca flours with the baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine, then stir in the chocolate chunks.

    Shape

    • Scoop 1-inch diameter balls of dough (3-4 tablespoons or a rounded #24 spring-loaded ice cream scoop) onto the prepared cookie sheet, spaced 3 inches apart. Top each cookie with a chunk or two of chocolate and a pinch of flaky salt.

    Bake

    • Bake the cookies one pan at a time in the top rack of the oven until golden and puffed, with the edges beginning to set and the centers soft, 12-16 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet at 10 minutes for even baking.
    • Remove the cookies from the oven and slide them, parchment and all, onto a cooling rack. Let them cool as long as you can stand it. Enjoy warm from the oven, at room temperature, or let cool completely and store, covered at room temperature, for up to 3 days.

    Notes

    I’ve given substitution suggestions, but I have not tested these myself. If you’re trying a substitution, I would advise baking off a single test cookie, that way you can adjust the remaining dough if need be (i.e. add more flour if the cookies spread too much, or flatten the dough balls if they don’t spread enough).
    Tips for better cookies:
    Since cookies are sensitive to slight changes in moisture and temperature, here are some ways to get foolproof cookies:
    • measure by weight, not volume
    • if measuring by volume, use the dip and sweep (aka scoop and swoop) method
    • make sure your oven is the correct temperature by using an external oven thermometer
    • bake off a single test cookie to make sure your cookies spread the right amount
    • if your cookies spread too much, add more flour or increase the oven temperature
    • if they don't spread enough, flatten the dough balls or decrease the oven temperature
    Flours:
    I first tested these cookies with all cassava and tapioca flour for ease, but I preferred the version that included tiger nut flour. Tiger nut (which is actually a tuber vegetable and not a nut at all) adds browning and tenderness to these cookies, making them look and taste more like classic CCCs. I order mine from Anthony's, but you can also find it in some health food stores with other alternative flours.
    If you don't have tiger nut flour on hand, try one of the other suggestions in the recipe. You'll have to experiment a bit as flours absorb moisture differently and cookies are sensitive to these slight differences. If you’re trying a substitution, I would advise baking off a single test cookie, that way you can adjust the remaining dough if need be (i.e. add more flour if the cookies spread too much, or flatten the dough balls if they don’t spread enough).
    You can also try omitting all of the flours and using 165 grams (about 1 cup + 2 -4 tablespoons) all-purpose flour (wheat, GF, or paleo). 
    Make-ahead:
    Make the dough as directed, then let sit until firm enough to scoop (or chill for a few minutes). Scoop into balls, place the dough balls on a small baking sheet lined with parchment, and chill until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer the cold dough balls into a container and chill for up to a week or so. When you’re ready to bake, just plop the dough balls on a cookie sheet as directed, top with flaky salt, and bake. You can also freeze dough balls for up to several months.

        Well that's a first! What don't you like about it? I suppose you could try thinning a different liquid sweetener with hot water until it's the consistency of maple syrup, which is thinner than most (honey, coconut syrup, date syrup, brown rice syrup, etc.) Please let me know what you try.

      Great flavor--these taste gluten free and vegan, but in a really good way. The texture of mine is very crumbly and I'm wondering if that's just the texture or if it's because I used arrowroot in place of tapioca flour? Otherwise I followed the recipe.

      I enjoy your recipes a lot and was actually hoping for a while that you'd go in more of a paleo direction because I knew you'd do it really well, so thank you!

        Aw that really means a lot to me! I was nervous about sharing paleo recipes so I really appreciate the feedback.

        I'm sorry these turned out crumbly for you! What brand of tahini did you use and what was the consistency of it? I'm wondering if that could be the culprit. But I'll test these with arrowroot next time I make them to see if it makes a difference for me.

          Amazing texture (crumbly/crunchy edge and soft middle) exactly like traditional CCC cookies. Flavor is less sweet, but still wonderful; maybe more of an adult CCC. Made them as written using a local brand of drippy tahini and 80pct dark chocolate bar.

      Thank you! I used soom. But I suspect I'll try them again soon so will see how it goes. And yes, it's so nice to have a source of paleo recipes that feels expansive inclusive without the health/body focus that often comes along!

        Soom is perfect! Did you use cassava and tiger nut flours, or did you try one of the substitution suggestions?

        I just retested these because they turned out crumbly for another reader too. I re-weighed everything to make sure I didn't make any conversion errors. Everything was accurate, and they turned out just the same as in the photos.

        Please let me know if you give them another try! I'm very curious as to why they're turning out crumbly for some folks..

      Another great recipe, Alanna! I made these cookies yesterday, and weight the ingredients per your notes. The only thing I changed is using a little less of the Raaka Maple Sugar baking chocolate, 200g (instead of 230g) to conserve our Raaka supply. The cookies turnout great and very yummy. Thank you and happy holidays to you, Jay, and the kitties!

      Made for Christmas and huge hit! Did all purpose flour and a bit of almond flour. Put the dough balls in the fridge for about an hour before baking. DELICIOUS. I would use a tiny bit less of vanilla next time - a little overpowering for me. Also delicious frozen a day after!

      First off let me say thank you so much for all of the recent paleo recipes. You are my go to for “healthy” baked goods, but I have often swapped out the sugar for something unprocessed and prefer using almond flour when possible. I hope you keep them coming. As far as these cookies go, I have to say wow! I subbed the tahini with pistachio butter and added some tart cherries, but everything else was as written and they were phenomenal!! I had zero problems with crumbly dough. Also, I shared them with two gluten- free friends and they both said they were some of the best gluten-free cookies they had ever had. Very grateful for you and your consistently delicious recipes.

        Awwww I appreciate this so much! I've shied away from using natural sweeteners since I wanted to make my recipes accessible but I had to cut out sugar this year for health reasons, so it's been fun to work with maple syrup and maple sugar. They're my favorites anyway!

        The variation with pistachio butter and tart cherries sound AMAZING! I can imagine how lovely the pistachio flavor would taste against earthy chocolate and tangy cherries. Yum!! I'm so glad they were a hit.

          Hi Alisha,

          I'm so glad these cookies were a hit! Love the idea of making the dough into a cookie cake. Yum!

          Looking at some cookie cake recipes online, I would try spreading the dough into a 9-inch round pan, greased and lined with parchment paper. Looks like you want about a scant inch of batter in the pan; if there's extra, just save it to bake off some extra cookies. Bake the cake at 350º until a tester comes out with moist crumbs, probably about 30 minutes (but start testing sooner!)

          When it's cool, you can top it with my vegan chocolate ganache (cooled or chilled until you can pipe it around the edges). Sprinkle the ganache with a few pinches of sesame seeds instead of sprinkles?!

          Please let me know if you try it. I want to make that now too!

      These cookies are SO good! I made them as directed except for subbing Teff flour for Tiger Nut flour (which I didn't have). I used 60g of Teff, BTW. I think the cookies spread out a little bit more than the pictures of yours, Alanna, but they were beyond delicious. Also, I used the WF 365 brand of organic tahini and that worked just fine too.

        That is fantastic! I love teff with tahini and chocolate and I'm so glad it worked here. You could probably just add a little more flour next time if you want them a bit thicker. It's great to know that that brand of tahini works too. Thanks so much for experimenting and for sharing your notes with us!

      I made these and they're just bliss. I am obsessed, my boyfriend is obsessed, I am so happy. The tahini has kind of a peanut-y flavor, which I badly miss in cookies since AIP, I now use flax and sesame, but can't go back to peanuts. I sprinkled some sesame seeds on top just so they were sexy for pictures, but like I mean COME ON NOW, if you're bored and looking to bake something to scratch a baking itch. THIS IS IT. 10/10

      My "dough" ended up being a batter and the cookies spread until they were totally flat and crunchy. I should've known better and added more dry ingredients before baking. I did weigh everything, triple-checked the recipe. I used sifted oat flour in place of tiger nut flour. I suppose it could've been the tahini consistency. Also I felt the 260g of maple syrup was a bit absurd - not to mention expensive. Have you tried replacing it with coconut sugar at all? Sounds like from the comments maple sugar might be another - very expensive - way to go.

        Ack, that's no good! I'm really sorry that happened. I always recommend baking off a tester cookie first in case you need to adjust the dough since cookies are so sensitive to slight variations in ingredients. I wonder if the oat flour is that much less absorbent than tiger nut? I think you could definitely replace some of the maple syrup with coconut sugar. It will probably make the batter less liquidy, which might be perfect with the oat flour variation anyway! Please let me know if you give it a try.

I'm so happy because I've recently had to go Paleo for health reasons but some in my family are allergic to nuts or vegans. It's been difficult to find a treat we can all enjoy. And, my husband, who can eat anything, really enjoyed these as well. Thank you for this recipe!

        I'm so happy these were a hit and that the whole family could enjoy them! It is really challenging to find paleo, vegan, and nut-free baked goods. I had to go paleo, vegan, and almond free last year, so I really, really know!

        In case it's helpful, here are a few more recipes from my site that fit those requirements:
        chocolate banana bread (nut-free variation in the notes)
        zucchini bread
        cassava flour crackersvegan paleo chocolate pudding

        Let me know if you try any or have any questions!

      Hello, I made your cookies but I put less maple syrup as it is too expensive and I added 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar, and I replaced cassava flour with chestnut flour but the consistency was crumbly, I had to repair by adding an egg to form the mass, in any case, they are delicious, what do you suggest to halve the maple syrup that is so expensive?
      Thank you

        I would try subbing a different liquid sweetener, preferably one that's runny. Agave is close in texture to maple, but it's not great health-wise since it's high in fructose. You could try simple syrup if you don't mind refined sugar, or you could dissolve the coconut sugar in some hot water to make it liquid. I think honey will be too thick and may have too strong of a flavor. Coconut nectar and brown rice syrup are both thicker than maple but those could be options.

        Alternatively you could try adding some liquid to the recipe in the form of coffee, tea, water, or plant milk.

        Also, chestnut flour might be more absorbent than cassava, so you could try using a tablespoon or two less flour.

        Let me know what you experiment with!

      Sublime! Unami-esque flavour from the tahini was excellent and not overly sweet. Taste amazing, and were excellent eaten warm. Nice chewy-ness yet crumbly on the edges. Loved these, will definitely be baking again. I will try to get a hold of some cassava flour to try that out!
      I used glutinous rice flour ( my understanding is that is this the same a sweet rice flour) as the substitute for the cassava flour, and buckwheat in place of tiger nut flour (as suggested). I also didn't have enough maple syrup in the pantry, and topped up with white sugar but still less than overall amount. Looked like a lot of chocolate, but no complaints when eating. My dough was a bit soft and coconut oily, so I put the dough balls in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking, then flattened out before baking, worked perfectly.
      Thanks for an excellent recipe!

      These cookies are amazing!! I've been obsessed with your buckwheat almond butter cookies for years and now just giving these a go. I subbed more cassava flour in place of the tigernut, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. I put the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking too, as it was pretty loose. That helped and they cooked perfectly at 14 mins! These will for SURE be a new favorite, so into the texture. Thank you!

      I made these twice now and they came out amazing ! I love these cookies, I have replaced the tigernut flour with almond in the past however I prefer the tigernut flour.
      Is there a way to reduce the tahini in the recipe ? while still baking a delicious cookie like the original recipe.
      Is there a way to reduce the maple syrup? or could the maple syrup be completely replaced with coconut sugar ? I am curious to what your opinion is about these two questions.

      While I do have some questions about replacements etc.. I would like to note that this recipe is amazing, I followed it exactly with a scale. I also let the dough rest in the fridge overnight and flatten the dough balls before baking.

        Hi Luan,

        I'm so glad you love these cookies! Thanks a bunch for the kind note and review. :)

        So for the coconut sugar, what I would do is dissolve it in a little boiling water to try to get it to be the same consistency and weight as the maple syrup. Alternatively you could try using coconut nectar, which you might also need to thin with a little hot water.

        I'm not sure what will happen if you use less tahini. It might be fine to take it down by a few tablespoons. Or you might need to add in some more coconut oil. Tahini has both fat and fiber, and it acts partly as a liquid ingredient here, so you could play with wiggling up the oil and tiger nut / almond flours and bringing down the tahini.

        Go with your gut and make it your own! Please let me know what you experiment with!

      I made these with teff instead of tiger nut since that's what I had. The dough seemed a bit thin so I added a good tablespoon more (wish I actually weighed how much more I added) but they turned out delicious. I only baked them 11 min since they were thinner than yours. Next time I make them, I will try adding more teff (and measure it) to see if I can get them a bit thicker.

      Wanted to make a double batch for a girls trip with friends who had some tricky dietary limitations. The nerd in me took over, to experiment for subbing flours in the recipe…
      I measured liquids carefully by volume, dry ingredients by weight, Artisana brand tahini. I subbed mochiko brand rice flour for the cassava flour in both batches, then oat flour in one batch and teff flour in another as the sub for the tiger nut flour. The doughs looked good and test bake was perfect. I preferred the teff flour for its darker color, chew, and richer flavor. The oat flour was just a tiny bit crumbly, next time I would try 5 grams less oat flour. The oat flour batch was a bit pale and amazingly different in flavor. Still so delicious but nothing like a simple science experiment to show you how every little thing makes a difference in a batch of cookies. Both batches stood up well, even after 4 days and long travel. My girls each had different favorites but the gal who has not been able to eat most cookies was partial to the oat flour.
      Thank you for your carefully tested recipes and for your encouragement to experiment!

      Fab recipe! I used the combo of white rice+tapioca+almond+buckwheat AND then chose to mix coconut with ghee as I like the 'warmth' of the ghee in baked goods. I really appreciate all your tips/methods ensuring a fantastic cookie. Following your recommendation of baking off a cookie before committing allowed me to go back and 'stiffen' up the batter a titch.

      These cookies are really yummy and easy to make. I used Once Again tahini-which isn’t super runny- and ghee. Didn’t have tiger nut flour so subbed with 30 g almond flour and 30 g teff flour. Baked for 16 min on upper rack and they turned out the way I like cookies- crispy edges with gooey soft interior. Thanks!

          Yay, I'm so glad Once Again tahini worked well for you too! I'll update the post to reflect this.

          Such a good question about the coconut sugar; this is something I've been meaning to experiment with. I'll put it on my (very long lol) to-do list. I think I'd start with one part water to 3 parts coconut sugar (so 1/3 cup water to 1 cup coconut sugar). I'd simmer the mixture, stirring, to dissolve the coconut sugar. Then I'd chill it and compare the viscosity to the maple syrup that I keep in the fridge, adding more water or sugar if needed. And finally I'd try baking these cookies with it. I would probably try a half batch in case I needed to test it several more times.

          If you feel adventurous and want to give this a go yourself, please report back! I'll keep you posted when I'm able to try it myself too. :)

      Hi Alanna! I’ve been reading your recipes for a while now, and they seem really really good. I’m thinking of giving these a try, and I’d like to find a sub for the coconut oil (or ghee). Would butter or avocado or olive oil work? Or what would you suggest? They don’t need to be dairy-free or vegan for the event I’m thinking to try them for. Thank you!

        Hi Debbie,

        Thanks for checking out my site and for the kind words!

        I really like the idea of olive oil in these cookies, that could be really nice with the mediterranean flavor of the tahini. The only thing is that because olive oil is liquid at room temp (as opposed to coconut oil and ghee which are solid) there's a slight chance that it could change the texture of the cookies.

        The flavor of butter would be great and it would probably work, but butter is about 20% water (whereas coconut oil and ghee are nearly 100% fat) so again it could alter the texture. You *could* clarify the butter and it would essentially be ghee at that point. Or you could try using half olive oil and half butter and split the difference!

        Please let me know what you try and how it goes!

        Hi Jennifer,

        Actually, tahini and maple syrup are different weights. Maple syrup is heavier for the same volume since it contains water and sugar, whereas tahini is mostly fat and fiber, which is lighter compared to the same volume of maple syrup. Hopefully you went ahead with the recipe as written! These measurements are correct.

        Unless I misunderstood and you accidentally poured more than 260 g of maple syrup into the batter? In which case you could do what you suggested and increase the rest of the ingredients accordingly.

        Please let me know; fingers crossed it turned out alright!

      Hi! I am chilling the dough now so I doubt you’ll see this before I start baking 😅 but wanted to ask about dough consistency. I’ve been doing AIP and never baked with cassava flour before let alone handling both gf and vegan so I was trying to figure out what to look for in the dough characteristics. Your pictures make it look like it’s fairly similar to normal cookie dough but that is not what mine looked like at all. 😂 I had made a few other adaptations that I won’t get into details but used a combo of cassava, dry-milled rice flour, and tapioca and the tahini I used was verrrry runny. I ended up boosting the cassava and tapioca but was still left with a very wet looking dough - hence the question on what the dough should look like before chilling. Thanks!

        Hi Amy,

        Oh gosh, sorry to hear you're having to juggle all those diets - I can empathize!

        So there's a photo of the dough in step 3 that shows it just mixed. It should be soft like cookie dough and hold together and keep its shape when you roll it into balls. Sounds like it was a good call to add more flour, and maybe adding even more will help if it doesn't firm up when chilled. What kind of fat did you use here?

        I would try baking off a test cookie and see if it spreads too much. If it does, add in some more flour before the dough gets too cold. Please keep me posted!

            Huh that's so strange! Did you measure by weight or volume? If by volume, sometimes measuring cups are slightly off and that could produce weird results. I had that happen once with a cookie recipe of my own. I used a pretty vintage measuring cup for the photos and the cookies turned out super oily. It turned out that the markings on the measuring cup were off and I used one or two tablespoons more oil than I should have. Lesson learned the hard way! Please do keep me posted - fingers crossed they turn out beautifully :)

      Hi Alana: I enjoy your site and appreciate the effort you put into carefully testing each recipe and offering suggested alternatives. I'm a celiac (gluten-free) person, and I generally use a lot of eggs in my baking. But I wanted to bring cookies to a friend who is allergic to eggs. That's what brought me here.

      I made these cookies using the following ingredients:
      245 g runny tahini (al Kanater brand)
      260 g maple syrup (medium)
      70 g melted, cooled butter (no ghee in the house, and I really like butter)
      2 teaspoons vanilla extract
      75 g sweet rice flour
      60 g almond flour
      28 g tapioca flour
      20 g oat flour (an addition to address the too-loose batter)
      ¾ teaspoon baking soda
      ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
      200g chocolate chunks (I ran out... I would use the full amount next time)
      Maldon salt

      When chilled the batter I was able to make balls with a mini ice-cream scoop. I did a test cookie first, and that worked out, so I carried on, baking 2/3 of the batter first. With the last third of my batter I added 2 tbsp cocoa and stirred it through for a marbled look.

      I baked the cookies for 12-13 mins; they were thin but crunchy-chewy. My egg and gluten eating spouse (aka official taste-tester) says "Yum"! And the egg-free friend gobbled up two before dinner!

      Thanks again for all you do!

      These are really great (easy to make and hard to stop eating)! I used sweet rice flour sub for cassava flour and almond flour. I actually did not know that there was a "flour" from cassava, as I don't think I've ever seen it (or noticed it) and sometimes tapioca starch is referred to as cassava flour/starch.
      My test cookies spread fast and were getting a bit darker than my liking, so I increased temp to 365 and decreased cook time to 10 minutes and then they were amazing! Not as pretty as the picture, but I only had chocolate chips on hand. I did add half cup of chopped walnuts for texture. I wouldn't have added nuts if using chunks of chocolate. Overall, definitely a keeper !

If you want the cookies thicker still, you could add another 1-2 tablespoons of one of the flours to thicken the dough a bit more. Or you could chill the dough before baking the cookies. Happy baking to you!

Comment “recipe please” and I’ll DM it to you. 

I make this with @bobsredmill almond, cassava, and tapioca flours, @miyokoscreamery dairy-free butter, @foragerproject cashew yogurt, topped with @greengirlbakeshop coconut milk ice cream. 

It’s paleo-friendly and dairy-free too. Because everybody deserves to eat good food!

    This favorite springtime recipe made the cover of This favorite springtime recipe made the cover of my cookbook Alternative Baker so it has a special place in my heart … and stomach because I ate so much of it! 

It starts with a flaky gluten-free crust made with sweet rice, oat, and millet flours filled with loads of fresh strawberries and rhubarb. 

The cut-out top crust is fun to make and prettier than a traditional lattice IMHO. 

I just shared the recipe on TBG. Comment “recipe please” and I’ll send it to you. 

Bojon appétit my sweets! 👩🏻‍🍳

    Just popped the recipe for these GF rhubarb streus Just popped the recipe for these GF rhubarb streusel muffins on TBG. Comment "recipe please" and I'll DM it to you! 

This one's dedicated to my amazing husband Jay, a.k.a. chief bottle-washer at TBG and best cat dad ever. 😻

Jay did not have a sweet tooth when we first started dating and he also didn't want any cats. Fast-forward a couple of decades and he hoards rhubarb muffins and falls asleep with two fuzzy fourteen-pounders purring on his lap each night. 

It's no wonder he didn't want to let these muffins go. They're moist and tender, loaded with jammy rhubarb, and topped with spice-kissed brown sugar streusel. A blend of almond, oat (or sorghum), and sweet rice flours makes them tender and sneakily gluten-free. 

As for why Zeppo and Hank choose him instead of the die-hard cat lady with the soft lap – that's one of life's great mysteries. 

Bojon appétit, my sweets!

    I’m always on the hunt for bold, creamy plant-ba I’m always on the hunt for bold, creamy plant-based cheeses so I did a happy dance when I spotted @miyokoscreamery Jalapeño Plant Milk Cheese Spread at my local Nugget Market! #ad 

It’s the perfect match for these extra-crunchy cassava flour crackers—naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and full of toasty seeds. The combo? Snacking magic.

I’m seriously impressed with the flavor and texture of this spread—spicy, creamy, and totally scoopable. Highly recommend picking some up at Nugget Market and giving this duo a try!

    Sunday forecast: 100% chance of pancakes! 🥞☀️

These buckwheat pancakes are everything I want on a slow morning: tender, floofy, and full of deep, toasty flavor from dark buckwheat flour (I love using @arrowheadmills which is certified #glutenfree).

They're easy to whip up with a few pantry staples:
🌾 dark buckwheat flour
🍚 sweet rice flour
🥄 baking powder & baking soda
🧂 salt
🥚 egg
🥛 Greek yogurt + milk (or plant milk)
🍁 maple syrup
🧈 butter

Crisp edges, moist middles, serious cozy vibes.

    I just scored a bunch of rhubarb from my mother-in I just scored a bunch of rhubarb from my mother-in-law's garden, so I knew it was time to share this gluten-free strawberry rhubarb crisp!

The sturdy crumble topping uses a unique mixing method: a beaten egg gets rubbed with the dry ingredients, sprinkled over the fruit, and drizzled with a stick of melted butter. Made gluten-free with sweet rice and oat flours, the texture ends up similar to a crisp-chewy oatmeal cookie.

The crunchy topping soaks up the juices from crimson strawberry rhubarb compote and the whole thing tastes like spring in a bowl. Sweet-tart deliciousness.

Bojon appétit, my sweets!
