I like to use nut butters <\/strong>in baked goods as a substitute for margarine, butter and oil - like in my Cherry Almond Cake.<\/a> Baking with tahini or sesame paste produces similarly great baking results and is a good alternative, especially for those of you with a nut allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delicious gluten-free tahini cookies with chocolate chips are crispy to the bite, pleasantly sweet <\/strong>and have a bit of a caramel flavour<\/strong> - and a much healthier alternative to standard chocolate cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Fun fact: Tahini is a great natural source of calcium!<\/strong> If you decide to eat the entire batch of cookies all on your own in one day (which I obviously don't recommend!), you will have almost covered your daily calcium needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Tahini is The Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are differences in the way tahini or sesame paste is produced, which can lead to significant differences in color and especially flavor.<\/strong> Depending on the variety, sesame paste can have a slight to strong bitter taste<\/strong>, which is particularly important to bear in mind when making sweet tahini recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tahini can be made from hulled or unhulled sesame seeds<\/strong>. For white sesame paste, the outer husk of the sesame seeds is removed. Dark tahini made from unhulled sesame seeds contains the components of the husk and therefore also more fiber and nutrients. However, unhulled tahini also tastes much stronger. Some manufacturers roast<\/strong> the sesame seeds before grinding them, which enhances the flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
