Vegan Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Muffins
The weekends are for muffins!
There was a period of time that we did over 20 different muffin recipes! I found that best base that made the perfect muffin and I just explored every flavor variety you could imagine lol.
Fast forward to today, I haven’t done a muffin recipe in ages. That being said, I wanted to revisit this comfort food staple. Muffins get a bad reputation for being being full of sugar and similar to a cupcake. This can be very true, but you can also mix up your ingredients and make a nutrient dense option. Honestly, the choice is yours!
I’ve done everything from healthy to indulgent when it comes to muffins so these I wanted to focus more on the flavor. Fruit in muffins is very commonplace, tahini though, is something you don’t see all the time! Lately I’ve been hooked on all things salted tahini as the flavors can be imparted in just about any dish and be a win!
If you’re not familiar with this duo, they compliment each other so well. It’s truly a match made in heaven. So vegan Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Muffins were a must try!
What I love about this recipe? Everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, buttery soft, can easily be made in bulk, can be frozen, requires minimal ingredients, doesn’t even need a flax egg, is oil free, vegan, packs notes of espresso, salt, and tahini, is perfect for any season, perfect for chocolate lovers, great for brunch, and truly a timeless flavor!
