You can’t have a meal-prep plan without cookies – where’s the balance in that? Keep it simple and nutritious with these four ingredients.
Ingredients
270 g (1 cup) tahini
80ml (1/3 cup) maple syrup
200g (2 cups) almond meal
3 tablespoons cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips
½ teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Method
1 // Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2 // Put the tahini and maple syrup into a saucepan over low heat.
3 // Mix until well combined, remove from the heat and stir in the almond meal and cacao nibs or chocolate chips.
4 // Scoop out a heaped tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball between your hands, then place on the prepared baking tray and press down with your hands to flatten. Sprinkle with salt, if using. This recipe makes 15 cookies.
5// Bake for 10–12 minutes and cool before transferring to an airtight container.
Store the cookies in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 1 month (if they last that long!)
