AHHHHHmazing!
That’s what I’ve got to say about this recipe! These gluten free, grain free gems are absolutely delish, and loaded with healthy fat, protein, and fiber. I keep all my dessert recipes very low to no sugar, so if you’re looking for healthy dessert recipes, you’re in the right place.
Now, tahini is the star of the show in this recipe. Not sure what Tahini is?
It’s ground sesame seeds made into a paste. Just like almonds ground into almond butter. Tahini is loaded with plant based calcium, which means it offers up some bone protective benefits. If you don’t have tahini on hand, you can swap it out for almond butter or sun butter. Both would work well!
If you’re looking for a delicious and healthified treat, whip up a batch of these blondies!
