My Favourite Tahini Recipes

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

Hi there, Reader

I have a major love for tahini and for using it in recipes. I can't resist the depth, richness, and gorgeous bittersweet nuttiness it gives.

Today I've pulled together 3 of my favourite recipes that use tahini, and if you've never made tahini yourself, I'm also including my tahini recipe. It's even nicer when made at home!

How To Make Tahini

All you need is 1 ingredient (sesame seeds), a food processor, and about 10 minutes. You will be rewarded with the most delicious, creamy, drippy tahini!

Chocolate Tahini Crunch Bars

Chocolate and tahini are a match made in heaven, and these bars are incredibly quick and easy to make. Melt the chocolate and tahini together, add mix-ins like dried fruit, nuts, seeds, oats, etc. (as long as you use roughly the same amount, you can use anything you like), then set in the fridge. The texture and flavour are just divine!

Tahini Banana Bread

I think this is probably my favourite banana bread recipe. The banana and sesame flavours work so well together! And for those who like oil-free recipes, this one is naturally oil-free.

Tahini Smoothie

I make this smoothie all the time. It's simple, really creamy, and very delicious. I like to use banana, but it comes with a banana-free option too.

The Best Of April Is Here! 💜

Friends, hello. I hope it's been a good month for you! I try to keep it real, so I won't lie - It hasn't been great for me. I was diagnosed with RA a few months ago, and the symptoms of that and the medication I've been started on (low-dose chemo 😖), to try to get it into remission, are really putting me through the wringer. On the plus side, the sun is back, my garden is in bloom, my doggos are still super cute (current view below), and there's a new recipe coming on Friday that I'm really...

My Current Lunch Obsession

Hi there, Reader Ok, hear me out. This is the sandwich combo you didn't know you needed. Peanut butter and sriracha, with LOADS of cool crunchy cucumber, lettuce, a little thinly sliced red or green onion, and loads of salt and pepper. It's SO GOOD! I didn't toast the bread because it was really freshly baked (this recipe), and I can't resist soft, squishy bread, but if you do toast it, do yourself a favour and rub it with a raw garlic clove before you start building your sandwich. 😉 GET THE...
