Crispy with a gentle toasted sesame flavour, these Vegan Golden Sesame Biscuits are perfect health-ish snacks for any time. They are made with only 10 plant-based ingredients and are gluten-free as well!
Line a baking sheet with baking paper or a baking mat. Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F.
To a mixing bowl, add oat1 flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, ground turmeric, salt, baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds. Use a fork to mix them together.
Then add maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until all ingredients are combined and it turns into cookie dough.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out a slightly heaping tablespoon of the dough. Repeat to finish the dough.
Roll each cookie dough into a round shape. Then dip each cookie dough in the left 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds.
Place the cookie dough onto the baking mat, evenly spaced. Gently flatten each cookie dough with your palm to around 1 cm (or 1/2 inch) thick.
Bake them in the oven at 175°C/350°F for 13~16 minutes until they are golden. Then transfer the baking sheet onto a wire rack to cool down completely. Dive in!
Notes
*Customization: These cookies are not very sweet. So if you prefer them sweeter, you can add 1~2 tablespoons of golden caster sugar with the dry mixt1ure in step 2.
**Measurement: I always recommend using weight as the measurement in baking to achieve the closest results. The US cup measurements are just rough estimates.
***For gluten-sensitive friends: Make sure to check the allergens on the package when you buy the ingredients. Food like oats are usually highly likely produced in the factories where they have other wheat products.
Storage: Store these cookies in an air-tight jar or container at room temperature. They should last 1-2 weeks.
