IDK about you, but my pantry was a sh*t show and in DIRE need of a clean up.
I tapped into my inner Marie Kondo. T-god for spring cleaning!
I emptied out my entire pantry and went through every ingredient. No shocker here, but my high fiber flours did indeed spark joy. 😉
After sifting through about 8 different GF flours and 2 1/2 jars of SF maple syrup, I found my abandoned tahini.
FYI: Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds, making it a great swap for someone with nut allergies! Tahini does have a bitter taste, but the maple syrup in this recipe cuts the bitterness.
That’s the thing about spring cleaning — you find the little gems you forget about!!
Tahini should NOT be abandoned for a few reasons.
Tahini is a FAB source of:
- FIBER: for decreasing risk of: type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and colon cancer
- IRON: for energy
- ZINC: for immunity
How to make AHTK Cinnamon Maple Syrup Tahini Dressing spark MORE joy:
Drizzle over:
- SALAD: savory salads will have FOMO
- SWEET POTATO: cut up your sweet potato and air fry with a few sprays of olive oil and cinnamon. thank me later 😉
- CARROTS: roasted or raw
- CINNAMON RAISIN TOAST: watch out almond butter, there’s a new spread in town
- GG CRACKERS: so much fiber!!!
- BUDDHA BOWLS: sometimes we have to take a break from salads
- RAISIN AND HONEY GG CRACKERS: this is my fave high fiber cracker. flavor AND fiber !! it’s a dream come true >>>
- APPLE SLICES: easy peasy snack.
- ANTS ON A *TAHINI* LOG: the nostalgic child-hood snack has never been this boujee
Marie would be so proud. :’)
