Fudgy High-Protein Tahini Chocolate Bites

Some of my most exciting creations in the kitchen are born during munchies moments.I was craving something sweet, and I had just run out of peanut butter. So I decided to see if tahini could be an interesting substitute.

The result was rich, chocolatey and fudgy — and the best part?It’s packed with protein.

Ingredients

• 3 heaping tablespoons fine oats

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

• 1 heaping tablespoon soy flour

• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

• 1 level tablespoon baking powder

• 2 tablespoons raw tahini

For sweetness (choose one option):

For those who like it sweet but want to save calories:

• 2 packets sucralose / stevia

For those who like it sweet and indulgent:

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or date syrup (silan)

• 250 ml light soy milk

• A little water if needed

Preparation

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

2. If the batter feels too thick, add a little water.You want the mixture to be as smooth as possible but not runny.

3. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).

4. Pour the mixture into small personal molds (I got about 8 pieces).

5. Bake for about 15 minutes.

Serving suggestion

Drizzle a little tahini, maple syrup, or silan on top.If you have some extra calories to spare… why not?

Variations

This is a great base recipe, and when I want to enrich it I sometimes add:

• banana

• crushed nuts

• cacao nibs

• even a little coconut oil

Almost anything works — it’s actually hard to mess this one up.
