Tahini Flapjack: FreeFrom & Vegan
Tahini flapjack? Yes! That lovely jar of sesame paste hiding at the back of your cupboard which you bought to make homemade houmous has a new use! 🙂 I was looking for something which would bind oats together and decided that I’d see what I could come up with! With only four ingredients this flapjack is so simple and definitely a winner! It’s crunchy, wholesome, dairy free, gluten free (use certified GF oats) and full of goodness! Sesame seeds contain protein as well as calcium, copper, magnesium, zinc, manganese, iron, B vitamins, folic acid and omega-3 🙂 so a whole host of benefits from munching on this delicious dessert! 😀 It’s so easy to make and I’ve shown the amounts in tablespoons today rather than grams to make it even easier to put together! 😀 I’m sharing these at Deborah’s Plant Based Potluck Party 🙂
Tahini Flapjack: FreeFrom & Vegan
Gather
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 7-9 tablespoons porridge oats (GF if required)
- 2-3 tablespoons currants
Prepare
- Mix the tahini with the maple syrup.
- Gradually stir in the oats ensuring they are completely coated.
- Add the currants and combine into the mixture.
- Press into a tin OR lay on a dehydrator sheet.
- Bake at Gas 4 (350f / 180c) for 20 minutes OR dehydrate at 40c for 12 hours.
- Enjoy!
Serve & Store
- Cut into squares or triangles and munch away!
- Great with a cup of tea 🙂
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness (stays fresh for 7-10 days)
So healthy and delicious! With ingredients like these who can resist them. I am so glad you shared your vegan tahini flapjacks with us at the Plant-Based Potluck Party. I’m pinning and sharing!
Thanks Deborah! 🙂 and I didn’t even know I liked the taste of tahini! 😛 Much healthier than butter and syrup laden flapjacks and full of goodness too! Loving your plant based potluck party 🙂 x
I have never bought tahini. I always just make my hummus without it! These sound interesting though and so healthy! If you have any posts you’d like to link, the Balanced & Healthy Living Party is going on until Wednesday and then beginning again on Thursday night. Hope you’ll stop by sometime & link up! http://www.heartfeltbalancehandmadelife.com/2016/02/balanced-healthy-living-link-up-party_25.html Have a great week!
I usually just add a handful of sesame seeds to my houmous but at some point I must have thought I needed tahini! Yesterday I made something else very quick and delicious with the tahini… I should have taken photos before they all disappeared! 😛 I’m working on a post which I’ll bring along on Thursday! 🙂 Enjoy your week! 🙂
