If you’ve been looking for what is definitively the best flourless bread recipe on the internet, then you’ve come to the right place.

To make it, simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and pour into a greased loaf pan. This bread is very dense and feels almost like a cake. Let me know if you like it!
Ingredients Overview
Tahini: Made with 100% sesame seeds ground into a paste. Tahini here adds a satisfying richness and a gentle, nutty, savory taste that pairs so well with the nuts and seeds.
Date syrup (Silan): A super healthy natural sweetener that is made with dates.
Baking Soda: Baking soda is what is going to make our bread rise. Make sure to put the bread in the oven immediately after adding the baking soda.

What kind of tahini do you use,?
I buy my tahini from Amazon – Baron
I am sensitive to egg white. Can I make this recipe using Flax eggs?
Not for this recipe…they are too many eggs…sorry
Very interesting flavor. I liked it and the texture was very bread-like.
The taste is awsome but my bread turned green. I know it’s a natural reaction from the baking soda. Can this change of color be avoided?
Did you use sunflower seeds? They can cause the green color because of their reaction to the baking soda.
I love it!
Thank you

Does the date syrup add anything besides sweetness? i actually prefer that its not sweet, can i leave it out? thanks
Sweetness and color. You can omit it.
Don’t skip on the salt and nuts
