INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
ROLLED OATS:
- We use rolled oats to provide a crispy and chewy texture. As a replacement, you can use quick oats or gluten-free rolled oats.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour provides a soft texture and nutty flavor. As a different choice, you could use sunflower seed flour.
TAHINI:
- Tahini provides a creamy sesame flavor that works well with the Mediterranean ingredients. We might also utilize almond butter or cashew butter.
OLIVE OIL:
- Richness and a delicate Mediterranean flavor are added by olive oil. You may also use mild olive oil.
HONEY:
- Honey naturally sweetens the cookies and helps them become golden. We could utilize maple syrup as a perfect choice.
NUTS:
- Almonds or walnuts add a nutty taste and texture. We might swap them with pistachios or hazelnuts.
MARSHMALLOWS:
- Mini marshmallows create the soft, gooey, toasted texture. Plant-based marshmallows can also be used.
DARK CHOCOLATE:
- Dark chocolate counteracts the sweetness by adding richness. Chocolate chips may be swapped with chopped dark chocolate.

- Warm the empty oven to 175° Celcius and coat a tray using baking paper.

- Whisk the baking soda, oats, salt, almond flour, and cinnamon in a different dish.
- Blend the wet and dry elements together.
- Mix in the marshmallows, nuts, coconut, dark chocolate, and sesame seeds.
- We scoop almost two tbsp. of dough for all the cookies and put them on a tray.
