Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Grind 1/2 cup of the oats: In a food processor, finely grind 1/2 cup of the oats to make oat flour. Add the baking powder and salt and pulse to combine.

Add the egg, egg white, tahini, vanilla, and orange zest. Mix until combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the oat flour mixture to the dough and mix on low speed until blended.
