Tahini Biscuits

01 Oct Tahini Biscuits

Tahini is a paste made from toasted, ground sesame seeds. It has a light, nutty flavour and has a range of health benefits!  Tahini is full of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.   It’s also rich in antioxidants and contains anti-inflammatory compounds.  I hope you enjoy this healthy recipe which is also egg and dairy free (and gluten free if you use gluten free baking powder!)

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 3 tbs of sweetener of choice (I used coconut sugar, you can use more if you have a sweet tooth)
• 1/3 cup hulled tahini
• 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
• 1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
• 1/4 cup nut butter of choice (I used peanut)
• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground mixed spice
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Combine the lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl (mixture will become foamy). Add sweetener, tahini, lemon rind, oil and your chosen nut butter. Using an electric mixer, beat for 1 minute or until mixture is just combined. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and mixed spice over tahini. Add sesame seeds. Beat on low until just combined.
