Did I tell you that I’d like to be known as “The tahini lady?” At least until my obsession with tahini subsides, if that ever happens. Since the first time I discovered tahini in sweets, I was hooked. So bear with me as I continue to indulge in my obsession of baking with tahini. I’ve experimented with various tahini treats. The ones that made it to my list are the ones that I personally love and couldn’t not share with you!
Fact: I didn’t start baking with tahini until I started experimenting with vegan baking. I think that was the secret ingredient that made the vegan treats not “taste vegan”. It seems like a magical game changer in vegan baking. Tahini seems to have magical powers of turning almost anything it touches into something wonderfully delicious with its rich, creamy, nutty-ish (though nut-free) flavor. It’s an excellent source of fat, the “good (unsaturated) fat”, high in calcium, vitamin E, B2, B1, B15, B3, and B5. The consistency and role of tahini almost mimics peanut butter (or nut butter in general), so those with peanut or other nut allergies can enjoy without worry, though tahini is more delicious, depending on which day you ask me.
