Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Grind oats in a blender or food processor until coarsely ground. (Do not wash the blender.)
In a large bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
Combine maple syrup, tahini, sesame oil, cornstarch and vanilla in the blender and blend until smooth.
Stir tahini mixture into oat mixture.
Spread sesame seeds onto a large plate.
Using a tablespoon, scoop cookie dough onto the plate and roll into balls, coating with sesame seeds.
