As promised to our Instagram followers, here is a guilt free tiffin recipe. I was introduced to this a few weeks ago and now can’t get enough of the stuff! Of course if you eat the whole block, it’s not guilt free! It’s also dead simple to knock together; well, if like me you have most of the ingredients in the cupboard!
Ingredients:
The actual recipe calls for double the amounts I have used, but the below was plenty for just me.
- Half a cup of tahini
- 1 Tbs carob (the first time I made it with cacao because that’s all I had. It is much more indulgent)
- 3 Tbs maple syrup
- Handful of raisins
- Handful of walnuts
- 1 Tbs coconut oil melted
- Goji berries (optional)
Method:
- Beat together tahini, carob and maple syrup.
- Next beat in raisins and walnuts.
- Lastly, mix in the melted coconut oil.
- Press the mix into a container. I just used one of those plastic take-away boxes.
- Push goji berries onto the top if you are using them.
- Place in the freezer for a short time to set.
- Cut into pieces and enjoy (I made 10 pieces)!
- Store in the fridge when you aren’t stuffing your face (it melts a bit if its warm out!)
I’m afraid I didn’t accurately measure the walnuts and raisins. So I have roughly calculated each piece to be around 130kcals. This is not only gluten free and vegan, but it’s also delicious!
