Wheat Free Smoky Paprika & Turmeric Tahini Bites
These little bites pack a serious flavor punch — smoky paprika, warm turmeric, and earthy cumin come together with creamy tahini and a touch of honey for something that feels indulgent but is genuinely wholesome. The base is rolled oats and ground flaxseed, which means there's no wheat flour anywhere in the mix, making them a genuinely satisfying snack for anyone navigating gluten-containing grains. Tahini does a lot of heavy lifting here, binding everything together while adding a rich, nutty depth that plays beautifully against the spice blend. A drizzle of olive oil and a little honey round out the dough so it holds its shape without any baking required — just a quick chill in the fridge and they're ready to go. Rolling them in sesame seeds is optional, but it adds a subtle crunch and a gorgeous finish that makes them look as good as they taste. Keep a batch in the refrigerator and you've got a snack that's bold, nourishing, and ready whenever you need it.
