High-Protein Tahini Bread in the Microwave

This high-protein vegan tahini bread comes together in the microwave in minutes. Silken tofu keeps it moist and fluffy, with no gluten or eggs.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons tahini (preferably whole sesame tahini)
• 3 tablespoons silken tofu (soft or silken texture)
• 2 heaping tablespoons red lentil flour (or another legume flour)
• 1/2 teaspoon psyllium husk
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1–2 tablespoons water (only if the batter is seriously thick)

Instructions

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, stir the tahini and tofu together until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Let the batter rest for 1 minute so the psyllium can absorb the liquid.
4. Microwave for 90 seconds, until the top is dry.
5. Remove the bread from the bowl, let it set for 2 minutes, then slice.

Tips

For a crisp crust, pop the slices into a toaster or skillet for 1 minute.
