✅ Ingredients
For this simple and delicious toast, you’ll need:
2 slices of whole wheat bread (Or any bread of your choice)
2 tablespoons (preferably natural, unsweetened) tahini
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness)
A pinch of sea salt (to bring out the flavours)
For extra crunch and taste: A sprinkling of sesame seeds
Your favorite toppings – Sliced bananas, berries, cinnamon, or nuts (optional)
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions
It is so easy to make whole wheat toast with tahini! Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Toast the Bread
And your whole wheat bread slices, toast them in a toaster till golden brown and crisp. If you don’t have a toaster, you can use a pan on medium heat. Simply cook for a couple minutes until crispy on each side.
Step 2: Spread the Tahini
When the toast is ready, cover each piece with a thick layer of tahini. Tahini can be thick at times, so if need be give it a good stir before using, or mix it with some water for a smoother consistency.
Step 3: Add Some Sweetness
If you’d like something more sweet, you can drizzle a little maple syrup or honey coursing over top of the tahini. This perfectly balances the nutty, slightly bitter flavor of tahini.
Step 4: Sprinkle Some Extras
Top it with flaky sea salt and some sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. The salt brings out tahini’s natural richness, and the sesame seeds provide a crispy-nutty crunch.
Step 5: Add Toppings to Make “Your” Pizza
Now, it's time to be creative! You can eat the toast just like that or add some delicious toppings:
Banana slices — Provides natural sweetness and creaminess.
Fresh berries — Adds a pop of juicy, tangy flavor.
Cinnamon – Deepens warmth and makes flavors more complex.
Sesame seeds – Toasted sesame seeds add a nice nutty flavor.
Step 6: Enjoy!
And there you have it: your healthy and yummy tahini toast! Enjoy each and every bite! (Serve right away)
✅ How to Make a Great Tahini Toast
To help you make the best toast of your life, just remember these a few key tips:
✔ Use a good tahini – A good tahini is smooth, creamy, not overly bitter. Choose brands that contain 100% sesame seeds, with no added oil or preservatives.
✔ Do toast your bread well – A good crispy toast base will hold up to the creamy tahini. Don’t over-toast, or it might get a little crunchy.
✔ Adjust sweetness to taste — If you’d like your toast sweeter, add more maple syrup or honey. If you prefer it on the savory side, you can omit the sweetener and add a splash of lemon juice, instead.
✔ Change up the topping – Use different nuts, seeds, and fruits or give your grains a splash of olive oil for added taste.
✔ Make it a full meal — Serve your tahini toast with a smoothie, a mug of herbal tea or a bowl of fresh fruit for a balanced, satisfying meal.
