12 servings
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup tahini
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient noteSmoked paprika is a mild spice with very little heat, and this recipe uses only less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tbsp water, as needed
For serving
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, ground cumin, black pepper, and sea salt to a large mixing bowl and stir until the spices are evenly distributed through the oats.
- 2
Add the tahini, honey, and olive oil to the bowl and stir until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too dry to hold together when pressed, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until the dough holds its shape when squeezed.
