Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

My obsession with tahini is no joke. I love tahini - sweet, savory, in a sauce, in a baked good, on veggies, you name it! These bars are no exception. Tahini is made from sesame seeds, so this recipe is nut free for those with allergies. Tahini also naturally adds lots of protein, calcium (you wouldn’t guess that but it is one of the best sources), and healthy fats. The tahini also balances the sweetness in this recipe. They have that chocolate chip cookie taste but with an interesting twist and are not overly sweet but will satisfy your sweet tooth. Like I said, these are nut-free (allergy friendly), paleo, grain-free, gluten-free and refined sugar free! They make a great filling grab and go snack or dessert, or hey, even a breakfast. Hope you try them out!
