My little one is wanting treats and fun food so I have decided to start playing with recipes to find fun food treats that also take care of your developing body and brain which lead to this recipe of oatmeal cookies made with tahini and honey which are sugar-free and flour-free.

Here is my thought process, cookies made with flour are a big glucose spike. So I wanted to use whole grains and oatmeal came first to mind. I also have been using tahini to make bread and find it an excellent baking medium. This led me to searching for sugar-free flour-free tahini oatmeal cookies. I looked at a few recipes until I found one that I liked the ingredients (you can see at the end of the post which recipe I used to base my recipe).

I decreased the amount of honey in the recipe and I switched out the chocolate chips for cocoa nibs as well as the walnuts for pine nuts. I also added cinnamon because it is a useful spice for supporting our body when eating glucose spikers like honey.

The cocoa nibs and pine nuts are divine.

I have made this recipe three times as of creating this post and the version I am posting here is epic.

If you are eating sugar regularly and your tastebuds and brain are used to getting big hits of sugar these may not taste sweet to you.

We find them very tasty and deliciously savory.

*** These cookies become gourmet if served with whole fat organic Greek yogurt. The full-fat yogurt also slows down the honey from hitting our bloodstream too fast.
