DIY chocolate tahini

A couple of years ago, I gave up packaged peanut butter when I discovered the joys of sunflower seed butter. Back then, this specialty nut butter was only available at select health food stores, and it didn’t come cheap.

Flourless mocha bean cookies

I’m sure we’ve all been amazed by the idea of the black bean brownie, of which variations abound in food magazines and on many blogs. It’s possible I’m the only one in the vegan community who has never tried them.
