Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 18 minutes
Yield 12 bars

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup tahini
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave (Here's a sugar free version: Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bars)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup flour (spelt, white, oat, sorghum, or almond all work)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 F. If tahini is not easy to stir, gently warm it until easily stirable. Stir dry ingredients very well in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients to form a batter. Only if dough is too dry, very slowly add a little water or oil. Smooth batter into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you wish. Bake 18 minutes. The bars will look undercooked but firm up considerably as they cool. If you want them even firmer, cover very loosely and refrigerate overnight.
