  • 20g cocoa
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 3 tbsp warm water

For the tahini swirl

  • In a large bowl, mix together the tahini, maple syrup and set flaxseed mixture.
  • Add in the oat flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix until combined, then transfer into a loaf tin.
  • Mix the tahini, maple syrup and milk in a small bowl, then drop dollops on top and swirl using a sharp knife. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and a small handful of chopped chocolate on top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, then leave to cool completely before slicing.

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.
