PANCAKE WEEKENDS, I can’t get enough. 

These cinnamon tahini pancakes were 100 percent inspired by my espresso tahini cupcakes (link), which apparently I was craving. The only thing missing from the top of these pancakes is some shaved chocolate, which I was completely out of. Who am I?! I mean they’re completely delicious without it, but chocolate and tahini is a combo I love, love, love. …almost as much as cinnamon tahini. 

You feel me?

I gotta say, though I’m really into breakfast in bed, the idea of it is usually better than the outcome, mostly because of Layla. She jumps on the bed and then just stares at us while we eat OR, she stays off the bed and stares and/or whines. DOG LIFE. In a perfect world, she would stay in her dog bed while Miguel and I ate breakfast, drank our coffee and sat on our phones, showing each other the latest Betches Instagram or a funny Youtube video. 

Speaking of Layla, it’s true that she did some light modeling (<—what? I’m obsessed with her) in this post, but I have to say this current recipe was a true testament to her commitment to the job. She was mere INCHES from the pancakes and didn’t budge until I was done snapping photos. Thank goodness they were tahini and not peanut butter or she probably wouldn’t have done so well.

Truthfully, these tahini pancakes couldn’t be easier. The batter is the perfect texture, resulting in perfectly shaped pancakes, and this is coming from ME, who can’t flip a pancake to save my life. 

Arguably the best part of this recipe is the syrup, which is a combination of maple syrup, tahini and cinnamon and it’s out of this world! Weekend breakfasts are the best breakfasts, so let’s get to it! PS if you love this recipe, you’ll absolutely love these almond pancakes, just sayin’!

Servings: 10 pancakes
Author: The Almond Eater

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • For the syrup
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs together in a bowl; add yogurt, tahini and milk.
  • Last, add flour, baking soda and cinnamon to the bowl and whisk everything together until the batter is smooth.
  • Grease a nonstick skillet with a small amount of coconut oil and then add a small amount of batter (I don't measure, but I'm guessing it's about 1/4 cup of batter at a time) to the skillet. Once it starts bubbling, carefully flip it over and cook the other side.
  • Repeat this process until batter is gone.
  • For the syrup: stir ingredients together in a bowl, pour over top of pancakes and enjoy!

Notes

*Serving size depends on size of pancakes

    Love these pictures! And I love the versatility of tahini. I need to use it more in sweet recipes.

    Layla has AMAZING self control. My dachshund, Iggy, would have demolished that tray in 0.04 seconds! ?

      Well that’s the normal thing to do! I don’t think I’d have control if pancakes were that close to my face either.

    I’ve never thought to make a sweet sauce out of tahini. I love the idea for an extra nutrient punch on your pancakes.

  • HI! I feel like it’s been a minute and I want to chat HEALTH. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the last couple months, I’ve been feeling kind of off. My migraines are becoming more frequent (again), and I’ve been experiencing almost daily nausea for two months. As 2019 comes to an end, I must say there are a couple things I’ve learned. 1) Every BODY is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. This is something I’ve always known, but I kind of forgot to remind myself of it throughout the year. 2) LISTEN TO YOUR GUT. We all have gut instincts on what to do when something seems “off”. If you’re me, you tend to quiet that voice (bc HIIII I’m super stubborn), but don’t! I knew months ago that I should seek the help of a functional medicine doctor to try to get to the root cause, but waited until a couple weeks ago to actually go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted to talk about this awhile ago, but kept telling myself it wasn’t important and that so many people have it worse. And, I didn’t and still don’t want to sound complain-y. But, the truth is, we all have SOMETHING and though I don’t have it all figured out quite yet, I’m hopeful that 2020 will be the year I truly heal my migraines/joint pain/nausea 🤞🏻 If you’ve also been feeling off recently, just know that I’m right there with you. *more in my stories*
