Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift gluten-free fine oat flour, almond flour, and baking powder into the wet mixture. Mix until dough forms.
  4. Reserve one-third of the dough. Mix ceremonial grade matcha powder into the remaining dough until well combined.
  5. Shape tablespoon-sized pieces of matcha dough into turtles. Use a fork for patterns and chopstick for eyes.
