Ingredients:

100g of Coconut flour (I used just under half a packet)

200g of tahini paste

250ml of Evaporated Cane Juice Sugar of your choice (I used ACV)

120g melted Coconut Oil (I used half a cup)

A few drops of Vanilla Essence

A large handful of Pitted Dates that have been soaked for at least 2 hours.

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to Gas Mark 4/180°C.
2. Mix the sugar, tahini, oil and vanilla in a large bowl.
3. Add the coconut flour and mix it in until it’s completely combined.
4. Stir in the dates with a spoon slowly. You can use your hands if it’s still too dry to mix in.
5. Now just roll into a ball and press into a ball by hand, you don’t want them to be too flat or they’ll spread as they bake. Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
6. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown all over. You may want to do them in batches as you don’t want to overcrowd the oven.
7. Store in an air-tight container or bag and enjoy!

A great healthy snack.

Did you know that Tahini is made from a sesame seed paste that has been mashed to a smooth consistency? It has been used for centuries as a basis for hummus, baba ganoush and halva. Although it may sound similar to peanut butter, tahini actually has a much higher protein content and a lot less fat.
