oatmeal with tahini-cinnamon crunch


Here's the thing, I suck at baking. I really do. It's embarrassing how bad of a baker I am. 

Exhibit A: my failed attempt at tahini cookies. I had half a bottle of tahini left from the hummus I made and couldn't think of anything else to do with it so I searched for good tahini recipes and found a recipe for tahini cookies that seemed pretty easy and didn't need that many ingredients. The recipe called for tahini, honey, cinammon, and oats--that's it. I just had to mix it all together, glop in on the baking sheet, stick it in the oven and wait--easy enough right? Nope! Of course something goes horribly wrong with my "cookies" and they fall apart. But when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. and when life gives you failed tahini cookies, make tahini-cinnamon crunch! 

I put it on oatmeal, in vanilla pudding, on vanilla ice cream--it's fantastic! 

Another idea is to fry bananas, add maple syrup, the tahini-cinnamon crunch and some vanilla ice cream and you'll have a perfect little dessert!


Happy eating!
