Notes
* I like to use Middle Eastern/Lebanese tahini because it's runny, so it's easier to use in baking. You can find them in your local Asian/ethnic shops or the world food isle in major supermarket. I also sometimes get it from Amazon.
** Make your own by blending oats in a high-speed blender until you have a fine flour. Use gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
