These Tahini Walnut Blondies are a soft, nutty, and naturally sweet treat that brings together wholesome ingredients with big flavor. Ripe bananas provide moisture and subtle sweetness, while tahini adds a rich, earthy depth that pairs beautifully with crunchy walnuts and a hint of vanilla. A light sprinkle of sesame seeds on top adds just the right amount of texture and visual appeal.
Naturally dairy-free and made with gluten-free flour, these blondies are great for sharing, storing, or enjoying alongside a cup of tea. They’re sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar, creating a tender crumb that feels just right—not too dense, not too cakey.

Easy to make, satisfying to eat—this is a small batch bake that deserves a spot in your spring kitchen.
