    Flour-free, healthy & delicious! The first time I baked with tahini, I was absolutely amazed. Tahini binds just like a gluten-based flour. If you are a fan of tahini (or sesame flavored anything, for that matter), you will certainly adore this bread. It holds together, stores and slices well. Not to mention, it is a quick one bowl prep...and super easy!

    I can't wait to hear what you think...

    Tips for making Gluten-Free Tahini Bread:

    • You can omit the coconut sugar without any issue if you follow a sugar-free or KETO diet. Alternatively, you can use a sugar-free sweetener such as this one.

    • This is a versatile recipe. You can omit all spices or use a variety of your choice. Some variations that work well: cinnamon and nutmeg; cumin and chili powder; coriander and fennel seeds; garlic and rosemary.

    • If you only have salted tahini on hand, you can use it instead but be certain to omit the salt in this recipe.

    • This recipe will work without any seeds at all if you would prefer.

    • This recipe will also work with any mix and match variety of seeds you would prefer to use instead.

    • Be sure to allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing to ensure best results.

    • This bread stores well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

      Can you substitute the chia seeds for used ground seeds ? My husband has diverticulitis and I'm afraid they might cause a flareup.

        Hi! A toaster oven will work but you will want to check to make sure it isn't overdone, as from my own experience, toaster ovens tend to cook hotter and more quickly than conventional ovens, so it will likely take less time to bake. I hope this helps!

      Amazing! Just pulled this out of the oven...and it looks beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made the recipe as you gave it. However, since I'm allergic to nightshades, I used onion and garlic with the oregano instead of the paprika. Fantastic! I will make again and try nuts and cinnamon next time. This is yummy! Thank you!

      I made a garlic powder-onion powder with everything bagel spice on top as per the comment above. delicious! then I made a sweet one with sweetener and cinnamon as per comment above. thank you! I added inside vanilla extract and on the top: chopped macadamia nuts, almonds, sweetener and almond extract. even my pro-wheat eaters asked for seconds!
      please let me know exact measurements of a loaf pan. I made this in a smallish one, and didn't know whether it would overflow. so I used muffin- cupcake paper cups too. and the muffin- cupcake size was convenient and perfect texture. thank you

        Honestly, having not tested this particular recipe in a bread machine, I cannot say one way or another in confidence. If your bread machine has a basic cycle for non-yeasted bread with minimal mixing and similar temp/time, it is probably worth a try though!

        Hi Lynna — I recommend making this with unsalted tahini and no added salt or baking soda. It will still work out quite well! You can add any combo of spices or add-ins (shredded coconut, chocolate, dried fruit, etc.) for additional flavor if need be. It is a rather versatile recipe. I hope this helps! 🙂

      Hello... question:

      Can you also use tahini paste, instead of (I assume) tahini flour?

      After all, tahini flour is also grinded sesame seed?

      I would like some help with this....

      Oh, have mercy!!! This recipe is spectacular! I am completely amazed by how this turned out! I have never left a comment about a recipe before but this deserves accolades!
      I followed your recipe and added garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin and topped it with your suggestions and then on a whim added Everything But The Bagel seasoning. The bread is tender but hardy and bursting with flavor!
      Since I had all the ingredients out and was pleased with the savory version, I opted for a sweet version to see how it would work. I followed the same recipe minus all of the seasonings. I added a generous amount of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of Swerve brown sugar and a bit of stevia.. It turned out just as lovely and so incredibly delicious. It is hard to believe it is so healthy! I can and will have “bread” again...Thank you for my new favorite!!!

        Because I haven't tested this with any egg replacements, I wouldn't be able to say for certain. However, I do think there is a chance it would work, but I do not think the texture would be quite the same. If you try it, I would love to hear about it! Best, Kristen.

          I made your savory version adding 1tsp of garlic powder and 1tsp rosemary. I omitted the oregano. It was really tasty toasted.
          I made a sweet spiced zucchini version adding 3/4 cup grated zucchini, 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp clove, 1tsp nutmeg, 1tsp ginger and increasing the sunflower seeds to 1/4 cup. It was amazing plain or toasted with butter.
          Thank you so much for this recipe.
