Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Toast the oats in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until lightly colored and fragrant; then remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the tahini and grape molasses together until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the cooled oats, the coarsely chopped walnuts and the cinnamon, and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

  4. 4

    If the mixture is too stiff, soften it with 1 teaspoon of warm water; if it is too soft, add another spoonful of oats to adjust the consistency.

  5. 5

    Enjoy the mixture with a spoon from a bowl, or roll it into walnut-sized balls and coat them in sesame seeds. You can keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Grape molasses is an iron-rich sweetener traditionally preferred during the busy days of breastfeeding. Tahini adds the healthy fats, plant protein and calcium of sesame, while walnuts offer omega fatty acids and extra protein. The slow-release energy and fiber of oats can help you feel full through the day; this practical mix is a satisfying option prepared without much time in the kitchen.
