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.

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!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon tahini
  • ¼ cup almond milk or milk of choice

for the syrup:

  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon tahini
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs together in a bowl; add yogurt, tahini and milk.

    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.
