FAQs

Can I use another flour instead of almond flour?

You can substitute oat flour or gluten-free flour blends, but the texture might be slightly different as almond flour adds moisture and richness.

Is this recipe suitable for nut allergies?

This recipe uses almond flour and tahini, which come from nuts and seeds. For a nut-free version, try sunflower seed flour and sunflower seed butter as alternatives.
