Tahini Oat Bars

Tahini Oat Bars
Tahini Oat Bars
are the snack antidote to the donuts made in my 51st birthday deep-fryer. (From Grandma G’s recipe that I’d been searching years for and which serendipitously – yes, let’s even say magically – appeared on the same day.)

These feel less egregiously indulgent because they have oats and tahini, and – well – that’s a good thing. They are not even baked, let alone deep fried.

They are smushed flat in that baking pan and chilled until firm. And cut into reasonably sized bars that you wouldn’t think would mostly disappear while you were at work but somehow did.

And if you don’t like or can’t find tahini, you can use peanut butter or whatever other nut butter you like. (Sunflower butter is very nice.)

And if you don’t like almonds, you can use any kind of nuts or seeds.

(And if you don’t like oats, it’s probably best to find another recipe.)

You can use peanut butter or another nut butter in place of the tahini, and any type of nuts or seeds in place of the almonds. For a vegan version, substitute your favorite liquid sweetener for the honey.
