    Top Tips for Making Chocolate Tahini Gingerbread Bars

    1. Use Coconut Flour

      Due to the unique nature of coconut flour, I do not recommend replacing it with anything else.

    2. Make it Sugar-Free

      For no-added sugar gluten-free no bake bars, I highly recommend using these 100% dark chocolate chips, or using your favorite sugar-free chocolate chips.

    3. Not a Fan of Dates?

      You can replace the dates with nearly any dried fruit of your choice for a fun twist. We like to use golden raisins or plums.

    4. Store It

      These no bake bars should be kept in airtight containers in the refrigerator for best results. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Alternatively, you can freeze these bars for up to one month; just be certain to let them thaw a bit before serving.

    Tahini Gingerbread Bars — Common Recipe Questions

    1. I’m on a nut-free diet. Can I replace the walnuts with something else?

      Yes. Simply use raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds in the same amount!

    2. Can I replace the tahini?

      Yes. Almond butter, sunflower seed butter, cashew butter and pumpkin seed butter all work well in this recipe. No further adjustments necessary.
