Tips, Variations, and Substitutions

• Make it nut-free: If you’re allergic to nuts, substitute the tahini with sunflower seed butter or pumpkin seed butter for a nut-free option.
• Coconut flour substitutes: If you don’t have coconut flour, you can try using almond flour. However, you will need to adjust the amount since coconut flour absorbs more liquid.
• Sweetener alternatives: You can swap coconut sugar with maple syrup or honey, but be mindful of the additional liquid and adjust accordingly.
• Extra flavoring: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few tablespoons of coffee to intensify the chocolate flavor. You can also stir in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture.
• Vegan option: For a vegan version, replace eggs with a flaxseed or chia egg substitute.
