Oh yes! I came across this recipe thanks to my friend and study buddy The Passionate Nutritionist. It’s a winner! The perfect afternoon snack for chai-lovers like me. Really low in sugar (just 2 tbsp maple syrup in the whole batch) and a good hit of protein with the tahini and nuts. I’ve made these a couple of times and if you like a good hit of spice, I recommend doubling the spice ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond meal
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp bicarb soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
Directions:
- Heat oven to 170C and line a baking tray
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl to form a dough
- Roll dough into balls and press down onto tray
- Bake for 14-16mins or until lightly golden
