The Right Kind of Satisfying – The nutty, creamy tahini doesn't wallow on the bread but rather works in concert with the hearty, whole wheat toast to pack in delicious richness in every bite.


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.




Health Benefits
