When I have a craving for cookies is must be met; and let’s get serious here… when do I NOT have a craving for cookies?
These Tahini Chai Breakfast Cookies were born out of the idea of wanting something that was nutritious and delicious but also NOT complicated. I think I struck gold with these babies!
When I quit drinking I wanted to have a little something at the end of my day as a treat. I was obsessed with the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from Sweets From The Earth. They came in 3’s wrapped up in a little perfect snack. I would get home from the restaurant, make a tea and eat my 3 little perfect cookies and it was perfect. It was all I needed.
Fast forward a couple of years, and SEVERAL boxes of cookies later, I decided that if I wanted to indulge in a sweet treat then I would have to be the one to make it!
Better for me, better for the planet and WAY better for my backside. So for the past 4 years or so I’ve made a lot of cookies and it occurred to me that I haven’t shared nearly enough of them.
Let’s get you making some healthy cookies, shall we?

Recipe for choc chip cookies with no oil or coconut oil?
Hi Karen, ¼ cup melted coconut oil is listed in the wet ingredients.
How many cookies does this make?
It depends on how big you make the cookies but I get roughly 13 when I make them
Thank you Teri! I didn’t have tahini so I used peanut butter, also I added hemp seeds. The best cookie ever.
Sending my gratitude for this recipe.
So happy that you used what you had on hand and it worked out well!! Thanks for the review Eiko
Where do you find chai spice?
Hey Alison, you should be able to find chai spice in any grocery store, however if you cannot, I have a recipe for that as I typically make my own mix. You can find a good spice mix in my Chai Swirl Gluten Free Bundt Cake
Made these the other day and they are fantastic!! I don’t like Chai flavor so I used cinnamon and nutmeg and they came out terrific. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe!
Hey Debbie, happy to hear you were able to make the recipe your own and enjoyed it!
Hola Teri… si no tengo semillas de Lino, puedo agregar huevos? Que cantidad? Gracias…
Hey Mayo, you can absolutely use a regular egg instead! Happy baking 🙂
How many eggs do I need to substitute?
Hi Celeste! Use 1 egg to replace the flax egg.
Looks delicious. What can I substitute for coconut in this recipe?
Hi Shweta, you can replace coconut with any nut, seed or just omit from the recipe. Happy baking!
These are delicious. I am in love with all the seeds and even have my husband eating them (meat and potatoes kind of guy). He is watching what he eats and was asking me about the nutritional information. How many cookies should he eat at one sitting (so yummy), calories and so on…
Hi Kelsey! I am so happy to hear you and your hubby love the cookies! I haven’t put the recipe through a calorie calculator yet, but you could use one like myfitnesspal. Feel free to do that if you and the hubs are concerned (I am watching my sugar intake so I get it). Thank you!
